Thursday by Assistant United States Attorney
General James NJ Beck special master appointed
by the United States Circuit Court the identity Of
the new owner has not been disclosed to any but a
selected few, who apparently have strong reasons
for preserving secrecy. While the sale itself and
the events which led up to it have been somewhat
sensational nothing has created in political or
newspaper circles such a flood of speculation as
this attempt so far successful, to allow none but
those directly interested know into whose hands
has fallen one Of the most valuable newspaper
properties of the country.
Should the court approve the sale. OF which there
seems to be no doubt in the mind of any one, the
title will pass the bidder, William S. Stenger, ex-
Secretary of the Commonwealth under Governor
Pattison. Mr.. Stenger himself says that he will
take title in his own name, but acknowledges that
he is not the principal in the transaction. He also
relieved many anxious mind by the assurance
that the purchase by him would not cause any
"shakeup" in the paper either in its administration
policy; that 1t will continue what it is now

'The identity and personality of the old Record

by ALL Wilbur having the control of the
ball most of the time, he was able to
make the last goal for Maui at the very
close of the period. Maui having fouled

Argument From Pre- edent.

Lincoln was once arguing a case
against an opponent who tried to con
vince the jury that precedent is SUI
perlor to law, and that custom makes
things legal in all cases. Lincoln's
reply given in Miss Ida Tarbells life
Of the great war President, was one
Of his many effective analogies in the
form of story.
Lincoln told the jury that he would
argue the case in the same way as his
opponent, and began:
"Old Squire Bagly, from Menard
came into my Office one day aud said;
"Lincoln, / want your auvice as a
lawyer. Has a man what's been elected
justice Of the peace right to issue
u marriage licenseY
"I told him not; whereupon the old
squire threw himself back in his chair
very Indignantly and said:
Lincoln, L thought you was a law
yer. Now, Bob Thomas and me had q
bet on this thing, and we agreed to LEI
you decide; but IL this is your opin'
ion, don't want 1t, for know a thun.

eight years, and have done 1t all the
