An Old Couple Sue Real Estate Man
for $50, 900.

An Old Couple Sue q Real Estate Man
for $50, 900.
A $4,000 damage suit was brought in
the superior court yesterday by John +.
Stewart and Nancy H. Stewart against
Lauron Ingels.
The complaint sets forth that John and
Nancy Stewart are advanced in age and
incapable of understanding the force and
effect OF written contracts, and the ground
on which they claim damages is that they
have been defrauded out of lot of valu-
able property and money. Stewart claims
that on September 10. 1888, with intent to
obtain an undue power and influence over
plaintiffs and their property, and for the
purpose OF cheating and defrauding them
and enriching himself at their ex-
pense, Lauron Ingles induced plain
tits to give him power of
attorney to mortgage all their property.
1t is claimed that when the power of at
torney was executed it was understood be-
tween defendant and plaintiff that no con-
veyance, mortgage or any incumbrance
Whatever should be put upon the property
by defendant without due notice and con-
sent of plaintiffs. He says that after he
executed the power of attorney Ingels got
$D,oU0 worth of good commercial paper
belonging to him and sold it without his
knowledge or consent. and also sold and
delivered to innocent purchasers Ss05
worth OF hay and converted the money to
his own use.
II Is also claimed that on December q,
lsss, lngels executed q mortgage in the
name OF plaintiffs TO the Lombard Invest
ment Company for $4,000 in ten lots and
20 acres OF land in sections %, % and rs,
township q, in King county, and mort
gage Tor 81 800 to the same company on 2S5
acres in the same sections, and converted
the money to his own use; that on March
10, 1890, Ingels executed deed of convey
ance to Fred A. Fay, of Is Is acres of
land in township %, King county, for
$1,000, and used the money.
Stewart says that Ingels derived a profit
OF 10000 from these mortgages. and
neither satisfied the mortgages nor ac
counted for the money, although plaintiff
mas OFTEN demanded it: that on March rs,
1871, he revoked the power of attorney. but
on March q Ingels induced him 10 sign
another paper, which he fears was some
KIND OF Partnership to defraud him out
OF ms property. He says Ingels has col
,ec'ed sli,oN IN rents on the property and
kept I, and plaintiff being unable to sat-
s.y these mortgages and redeem his prom
wy, has been damaged to the extent of

lars take an additional purchas-
ing power.
First-On all the fine trim
med hats-some of them the
imported pattern bonnets--a
discount of from IS to 80 per
cent. has been made on the
regular prices. Just figure up
how much of a saving this
means!
Ia untrimmed straw hats
the imported kind-we have
still greater reductions.
The range is SO large that
but few prices are given as
samples of the whole:
Imported straw hats, light colors. reduced
from 1915 to $500.
imported straw n1r5 reduced nom &SOU
70 1925.
Fancy straw hats reduced from $500 to
$3.50.
Leghorns reduced from $3.50 to -. 90.
Straw sailor hats reduced from sl.7s to
s1.25.
Remember, in the trimmed
hats you have all the thoughts.
all the skill, all the time of the
millinery trimmers, without the
cost, the special prices just
about covering the value of the
material used.
The goods will be sold at
the special prices today and to-
morrow only.
The new null hats-for chill
dren and ladies-are attracting
attention, both by their beauty
and the prices. They run
along at from 81 to S.. so each.
but you won't appreciate their
worth until you match the hats
with the prices-then you will
understand it.
Remember about our millin-
ery stock that it is new and
fresh, and was bought in person
in New York by an experienced
buyer.

DRAWING TO A CLOSE
The Starks Murder Case to Be
Argued Today.
THE DEFENSE SCORES a POINT.
Bloomstran Told DR.. Lansing That He
Fired First-A 100000 Damage Suit
Fned-Chinese Sent Back.

The Starks murder trial Is at last near
ing its end. The defense closed its testi-
rnony Yesterday, and most of the day was
devoted to introducing testimony in re-
buttal TO attempt to prove that Nels
BIoomstran, the victim OF the tragedy,
was not a man OF violent temper as
charged by the defendants witnesses.
The defense scored strong point in
putting Dr. Lansing on the stand, and
seemed well pleased with their prospects.
DIR. Lansing attended Bloomstran when he
was shot. and dressed his wounds. He
sworn that the wound in the shoulder was
caused by bullet entering from the front
and going out behind the shoulder. Cor
oner Horton testified that he thought the
bullet entered from behind, and on the
strength of his evidence the prosecution
acted on the theory that after being shot
once by Starks, Bloomstran turned and
started to run when he was shot in the
bsck, the bullet coming out in front Of the
shoulder.
This was not the only pleasant surprise
IN store for Starks, for DR.. Lansing also
stated that while at the bedside of the
wounded man he asked how the trouble
began, when Mrs. Bloomstran, who was in
An adjoining room, replied that Taylor
etarks did the shooting, and her husband
did not shoot at all, but Mr.. Bloomstran
spoke up and said az shot first. shot
twice at Taylor Starks before he fired. I
drew my pistol while in the hollow and
tried to kill him. My family is to blame
for this trouble" DR.. Lansing also corrob-
Grated the statement of witness Drake TO
the effect that during his dying hours,
Neis Bloomstran told Drake that if he
would go down to Fall City and kill Tay-
lor Starks he could have his daughter.
Chestie Bloomstran was recalled and
asked q few more questions about the diff
Guilty between her father and Starks on the
bridge one Sunday. when her father
kicked and threatened Taylor and cursed
her. The prosecution tried to break down
her testimony. and questioned her very
closely, but she adhered to her statements
and maintained that they were true and
correct in every particular.
After number of other witnesses had
been examined without anything of i'm
portance transporting, J. A. Green, one of
the witnesses, was called to testify to some
things connected with the coroner's in
quest, but he could not be found. Judge
Humes ordered an attachment issued for
him, and deputy sheriff went in search
of him, but court adjourned before his re-
turn. Green is clerk for Bonney & Stew
art, and was present at the inquest over
Bloomstran's remains.
Judge Hnmes is determined that the
states case shall go to the jury this week,
and the argument will probably begin thi
afternoon and conclude some time tomor-
row. The jury, too, seem anxious to have
the case terminate, for it has dragged along
in slow and tedious manner, and they
have been kept together under guard ever
since the trial began, and some of them
are getting quite homesick.

A RECENT traveller in Mexico saws
the natives are unwilling to adopt
modern ways, and it is nearly impos-
sible to make them change. An Eng
slishman engaged in mining put up a
hosting plant, but found at once that
it was money thrown away, as the
Workmen would not consent to its
use. They had long been accustomed
to carry the ore in sacks supported
by a broad canvas band passing over
their foreheads, and to receive SO
much for each sack delivered at the
mouth OF the shaft To get it there
an ascent Of over 200 feet had to be
made by means OF ladders, and ac-
cordlngl progress was very slow. But
nothing ould induce them to use the
hosting machinery, and it had to be
abandoned, every man working in the
old fashion.
