tante diversions and revert, with natu-

ments which have a distinct domestic
flavor. Their femininity reasserts itself,

She takes as much pride, while this
fashionable inclination toward the

ACCUSING HIS DAUGHTER
John H. Graniger Charges His
Child With Ingratitude.
Sues Her and Her Husband for Re
conveyance of Property Decided
Her on Condition OF support.

What looks like repetition of the story
OF King Lear was developed in a suit yes
ierday By John Il. Granger against Joseph
b Monarty aHd Caroline A Moriarty, of
No. Alb Tenth street northwest, {, his son-in-
law and daughter, to compel them TO re-
convey TO him lot ,, square 257, which he
decided to them, and also to pay him suC-
ficicnt t. raise lien they placed upon
the property.
Mr. Granger sets forth that by reason
Of his failing health and approaching old
age and because of his affection for his
daughter he decided her in fee simple the
property described. In return for this, he
says, she and her husband agreed TO pro
vide all reasonable expenses for Clothes,
food and other costs of living during the
remainder of his natural life. In the
event OF their failure ID do this they were
to recJnvey the property
He charges now that they have done
neitter- At no time since the execution
Of the agreement, he says, have the de-
Pendants adequately supported him. In
stead they have rented the residence to a
tenant, witt wLom the plaintiff rooms and
boards. and through an arrangement made
with this tenant, Mr.. Granger receives
his bo6rd and lodging at valuation set
upon il 5y the defendants Of $12. He also
receives 81 a month, and the full amount
is credited upon the account of the tenant.
Further Imam this, he claims, he receives
nothing, and hC niaintains that 81 month
is grossly insufficient to provide him with
clothes, nIedical attendance, and other
necessd-ies ef life.
Further thar this Mr. Granger charges
that his daughter and son-in-Iaw have
raised Sl,5O0 upon the property, Of which
he never received a cent. He asks also
for an injunction to prevent them from
allowing the property to be sold under the
note, Upon which the money was borrowed.
which he alleges that they viii attempt
to do as soon as they learn the suit has
been filed.
