HEIRS SEEK TO HAVE
A DEED SET ASIDE
Claim Property Was Conveyed With
out Any Other Consideration Than
an Unfulflled Promise.
an Unfulflled Promis;

Lillian B. Hardy and Harriet A. Parlin
are suing Ada c. Martin, Administrative
of the estate of Robert Craig Chambers,
to recover two-thirds of a tract of land
in Butte County which they allege they
conveyed to Chambers short time be-
fore his death.
They allege that the Butte County land
was part of an estate beuueathed to
Chambers in trust for them by Mrs.
Chambers, their aunt. According to their
complaint. they were living with their
aunt when she became Mrs. Chambers
and were treated with such kindness aft
er the marriage and after the death of
Mrs. Chambers that they had no hesi-
fancy in complying with Chambers re-
quest that they deed the property to him.
especially, as they allege, when he told
them that after his death they would be
well provided for.
Chambers died intestate in April, 1901.
and no provision was made for them by
the heirs of his estate. which is valued
at $780, 900. They now want the deed of
conveyance set aside and their title to
the property. which they allege was part
of separate estate owned by Mrs Cham
bers, restored.

 After a brief discussion of pro Iposed amendment to section of canon 19 the matter of marginal read inss was taken up.
 Dr. Cameron Man, the first speaker believed that the plan of marginal readings was the only feasible way of aceomp plishing the general desire of the church that recognized imperfec- tons in the present authorized version might be corrected in the reading of the lessons. but he thought those mar ginal readings proposed. which are not taken either from the English or American revised version of the mar gin of the King James version. should be omitted
 Dr. Mckin1. of Washington. said the effort of. the committee in making it's report was to conserve the old version as far as possible. while pro viding for correcting recognized errors or infelicties in that version.
