ring on the night of December 90.
Hanlon has been coming to the front
rapidly in the past couple of years. He
is a strong, healthy fellow and seems
to be improving with every fight. Jim

Corbett is to meet his defeat by man

will accomplish the feat.

ATTORNEYS AND CLIENTS FUSS
Peculiar Tangle in Emporia Holder
man Estate Case.

Emporia, Kan, Dec. 2-There is stilla
serious disagreement in the Daniel
Holderman estate case, which will
probably keep the case from being set
tied out of court. An agreement was
reached by the heirs last Saturday
whereby it was hoped that the case
would be permanently settled, but
Judge William Randolph, one of the
attorneys for the plaintiffs, believe
that one of the heirs who made the
agreement was unduly Influenced and
that the rights of all his clients in the
case are not being properly protected,
and he went ahead and filed the case
in the state supreme court, contrary to
the viii of all of the heirs who are
taking an active part in the suit.
When the case comes to the supreme
court it is almost certain that the prin-
cipal contest will be between the at
torneys for the plaintiffs and their
clients.

The board of health is determined to

serious diseases.
The Maplewood school building was
