experience of Capt. Lewis E. ljams, OF

$4,000, 0OO Capt. Ijams thought he was
safe In accepting the novel task even
if the duties were not as agreeable as
they might have. been. He was faith
full, he says, to his trust.
For four years he told stories and
recalled anecdotes. He dug up all
sorts of happenings and incidents,
ranging from the founding OF the state
over eighty years ago to the present
time. There was a wide range to mis-
yarns. but they filled the bill AMI
everybody appeared satisfied.
Brokaw died last spring and sur
prise was expressed that Capt. lJams
had not been mentioned in the VIII

ice. He appealed to the heirs, but
was given a chilly reception. He then
sued the estate for $4,000.
The case came up in the Mclean
county court this week and the court
room has been packed daily.
Abram Brokaw came to this city
sixty years ago a poor boy. He was
gifted with foresight and shrewdness
beyond his years. Every dollar that

anything but contempt for hunters

regularly during the summer and fall

hunting party sat about their camp
fire until late at night swapping
hunting yarns and planning their mode
of attack upon old cinnamon the fol-
lowing day. The air was cool and
bracing and the camp kettle steamed
merrily, reminding them often how
good hot toddy tasted, and when finally
they retired to their couch beneath the
stars, which peeked around the shade
of big fir tree, they were happy and
free from all care and were soon IN

that he would no longer be hunted,

is rendered soluble by the addition OF
water, but does not collect dampness
from the atmosphere and will keep in
any climate. It consists Of a blower
attached to the dome on a milk can.
On the opposite side pipes convey air
