GRANT IS COMING BACK.
Sends Word That He Will Be in
Kansas Soon.

MIS-. y. u. Glllett ana Cnllu anu
Miss Cora Baumbaugh arrived at
Woodbine Monday, coming from Chi
huahua, Mexico. Mr.. Gillett tele.
graphed here to creditors having at
tachments on some Of his property
asking them not to sell it adding, 81
will be in Kansas SOON" 1t is ex-
pected that Mrs. Gillett has authority
to make settlement or compromise
with creditors to an extent which will
allow OF her husbands return.
While Grant has not gone to Peru
he has given up his hotel at Chihua-
hua and wants to come back to Kan.
sas.
An echo of the disturbance among
Kansas City live stock commission
firms that followed the failure Of
Grant G. Gillett was the suit for
$40, 500 filed in the United States cir.
court at Kansas City by Meservery,
Pierce 4 German, attorneys, against
Hooker Arnold. Woodson Brokerage
company.
Harris Franklin, who brought the
suit, is banker of Deadwood, s. D
and in his petition he says that in
October, 1898. he bought through the
Hooker company a note for $4,000
signed by f. R. Clark Of Marion
Kas, and indorsed by the A. j. Gil
lespie Commission company. He de-
clares that the brokers represented
that both Clark and the Gillespie
company were able to pay the note
and that it was secured by a chattel
mortgage on 1925 cattle in the Pan
handle country.
Now the South Dakota banker as
serts that these statements made by
the brokers were not true, but that
both Clark and the Gillespie COM
pany were insolvent. Franklin de-
clares, too, that the 1926 cattle were
never in Clark's possession. So he
wants the face value Of the note with
interest, and also $500 spent in his
efforts to collect money.
r. w. Hooker Of the Hocker-Ar-
nold-Woodson company says that his
firm merely sold this paper as brokers
and that it was sure at the time that
it was good; but being brokers, it
does not consider itself responsible
for the note. Mr.. Meservey, repre-
senting Harris Franklin, says that
the 1926 cattle in the Panhandle were
a part of the elusive herds which
Grant &. Gilett controlled, and that
this suit grows out Of Gillett's failure.

Ogden Patches Up Differences With
Denver Eleven and Goes East
Football Notes.

There were fifteen very disappointed
young men at the Y. Nj. c. A. gymna-
SUM last evening, for the team did not
after an take the projected trip to
Denver. 1t seems that the Ogden and
Denver elevens managed to patch up
their differences late last night and the
Denver team yielded the point ia issue
and furnished the Ogdenites transpor-
tation over the Union Pacific. That
WAS where the whole difficulty lay and
as soon as they had secured this point
the Ogden men were satisfied and eager
and willing to play the game. They left
for Denver last night.
1t is quite likely that had Manager
Axton been get-at-able on Wednesday
Afternoon that the Christians would
have been on their way east instead of
the ogden team. 1t is certain that the
Denver management telegraphed to
Mr.. Benton of the Rio Grande Western
to see what team he could secure in
this city to substitute for the OgdenS.
and for several hours he endeavored to
get hold of Mr.. Axiom. but in vain The
Denver people, fearing that they could
not get any other team. and with the
game advertised extensively. had no
choice but TO yield to the demands of
the Ogdenites and furnish transporta-
ton over the Union Pacific.
The Christians solaced themselves
with a vigorous practice, fifteen men
being out. Manager AXtOn is in COM
munication with the Butte, Anaconda
and Mercur eleVens. and he hopes to-
secure several good games for the Sat
