AN UNEXPECTED FIND
An Attorney Who Made a Haphaz-
ard Discovery

Last evening Attorney Earl Roge RS
was too busy shaking hands with him
self to do much else, and the reason for
his jubilant state Of mind was briefly
this:
Mr.. Rogers is one of the attorneys in
the estate of j. G. Drake, deceased and
represents the son. The widow has all
along maintained that there was no will
left by her husband and that he had
decided all of his property to her durin &
his lifetime. Mr.. Rogers wanted to know
definitely how things stood and yester-
day Mrs. Drake had to answer citation
TO show why she Gidn't produce the
property Instead of appearing in court,
however, she left the state for Dakota,
and thereby rendered the citation pro-
ceedngs of no avail.
A Mr. Carl Robertson d.d appear,
however, ard stated to Mr.. Rogers that
he represented Mrs. Drake ard he
thought that the attorney was dealing
rather hardly with her. "See here" said
he, as he unfoided a document. "here's
an agreement between all the parties
that straightens the whole matter out"
Mr.. Rogers took the document in his
hand and rapidly surveyed it. AT
glance he saw that it purported to be a
will of the deceased, with the widows
signature as one of the witnesses.
We'll, now" said Rogers. I'll just go
and see that this is recorded right
away"
Robertson'S eyes became as big as
moons; he made a grab at the document
and with it u his hand made off as quick
as he could
Now that Mr.. Rogers knows that will
exists he is going to see that it is pro-
duced and filed. The puzzle is how ana
by what mistake it came to be produce,i
in such odd fashion.

A BASQUE DAY
People Who Speak No English Nor

The hearing in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings yesterday before Judge Allen
wherein the custody of 3-year-old Mar
tin POGO was in question, revealed, al
least, that the Basques are not prone to
tell the truth when a lie or an. evasion
will serve the purpose much better.
The mother of the child had, according
to the husband, Juan POGO, left him and
fed with her paramour, Michel Harzou,
to a disreputable house on New High
street, leaving her 3-year-old baby at
home with it's father. Afterward she
came back and stole the child from her
husband, carrying it to the low resort
whittier she had fled.
If these assertions are true, the baby
of course, would go to the father, and SO
Mrs. Marie Louise POGO went upon the
witness stand to controvert them. She
said that her husband elected her from
their home on Alameda street, and she
had gone to the notorious house because
she knew she could get credit there

The referenc, librarian in the Crerar
library is young man who lived most Of
his earlier life on Kansas cattle ranch.
His duty is TO answer any questions
asked by people who come into the
library to loo4 up matters of interest TO
them but who do not know just what
books they ought to consult.
Last week man came in and asked
nervously if there were any books 10 the
library that would be likely to tell man
how to build BARB wire fence.
No, he went on in answer to the
questioning look on the reference Il
brarianis face, he didn't want to fence
IN his back yard for a COW lot or his
front yard for lawn. He answered
the miscellaneous questions for an
agricultural paper. Some fool farmer
didn't know how &c make barb wire
fence. :
The librarian looked through the
catalogue, the encyclopedias and the
files OF all the agricultural papors. No.
there was nothing in the library to tell
how wire fences were made. The man
got mad. A great library that could
not answer simple question about
fences.
TIE librarian hesitated and then said
that he could tell something about it
himself. He took the man to his desk,
sketched out an elaborate description
with drawings and sent the editor away
happy.
The paper published the eketch,
polished slightly, introduced with the
explanation: The editor of this de-
partment has found the following to be
the most practical method of construct
ing wire fences."
