farm In Jones county.
The story on which the payment of

out. so far us legal responsibility was
concerned About the year 1910 there
was IA partnership in the suit business
between Joseph Slocum and Oliphant
at Syracuse, N. Y. The husiness did
not prosper and In setting up the af.
fairs OF the concern S2,000 belonging to
o,iphant was applied on the accounts.
Slocum remained in New York state
and Oliphant with his family came
