ROBINsONS Win
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES
SUIT IN FAVOR OF THE ROBIN
SON ESTATE.
THE HEIRS BENEFITED FINAN-
E CIALLY BY THE DECISION OF
THE COURT. r.

The supreme court of the state in
the case of o. A. Knudtson VS.. John
]. Robinson ct al. reversed itself in
decision filed Saturday, and which
appears on page six of this issue.
Last spring the court on an appeal
from Mclean county reversed Judge
Winchester's order dismissing the
case. Newton & Dullum asked for
rehearing which the court granted
and now the same court reverses
itself and sustains Judge Winches-
ter's order dismissing the case.
The facts are: On October Is,
1901, at his own house, John J.
Robinson of Mclean county made a
contract to sell $50 acres of land for
$S,160. His wife was. present but
was not consulted. On the 10Th of
October, 1902, Robinson died by his
own hand, testate. The defendants
set up the fact which was not disput-
ed that the homestead had never

Mrs. Robinson could make this Sc
lection, and that after doing so she
could not compel specific perfor-
nance on the balance of the land,
and as there is no mutually of con-
tract, it could not be enforced.
Newton & Dullum are pleased over
this decision, as it saves their eli
ents about $4,000. The case has eX-
cited great deal of interest in Nc
Lean county where Robinson was

LAMPSON Wins
JUDGE WINCHESTER DECIDES
THAT E.. X. BULL HAS NO TITLE
TO Properly CLAIMED. n

The findings Of fact have been filed
and Judgment has been entered in the
case of Edward F. Murray and wife
for the use and benefit of E. X. Bull
against e. K. Lampson. Judge Win
chester finds in favor of Lampson on
all points. The following are the
facts in this case: On January IL,
1902 e. K. Lampson secured a Tax
Deed from Burleigh county for the
property situated on the northwest
corner of Broadway and Sixth street.
Emerson X. Bull knowing that Lamp
son was in possession of this property
secured quit claim deed to it from
the original owners Edward F.. Muir
ray and wife of Vermont, dated June
20, 1907. On October II, 1907 Lamp
son secured from the same parties a
release of their interest in. the prop
erty for which he had tax deed and
by which he was in possession. b.
X. Bull brought suit to dispossess
Lampson of the property, basing his
claim on the quit claim deed he had
secured. All the evidence and papers
We're submitted to the court and the
findings and Judgment are in Lamp
sons favor. He is still in possession
Of the property. The weak point in
Bulls case was that he was not acting

CHAPTER ".

The funeral was over. Mr.. Drummond,
as indeed his relationship permitted, was
one Of the principal mourners. Consider
ing that he had not seen Mr.. Conrad for
five years preceding his death, nor during
that time communicated with him in any
way, he appeared to be very much over
come by grief. He kept his eyes covered
with large white handkerchief, and his
movements indicated suppressed agitation
He felt that this was a tribute due to a
cousin who had left over one hundred
thousand dollars. When they had return
ed from the grave he managed to have a
word with Walter.
Have you decided to accept my Offer
and make your home beneath my humble
roof" he asked.
There has been no time to consult with
my friends here, Mr.. Drummond. I will
let you know next week. l thank you at
any rate for your kindness"
"Do come, Walter" said his cousin,
twisting his mean features into an affec-
tionate smile. with you beneath my
humble roof, l shall want nothing to COM
plete my happiness"
Jacob Drummond went back to Staple
ton ignorant Of the state Of Mr.. Conrad's
affairs and regarding Walter as a boy Of
great wealth.
When the will was opened 1t was found
to bear date two years back, before Mr..
Conrad had plunged into the speculation
which had proved SO disastrous to him.
He bequeathed all the property which he
did possess to Walter, with the exception
of FIVE hundred dollars, which were left
as legacy to his faithful housekeeper,
Nancy Forbes. At the time the will was
made, its provisions made Walter heir to
large fortune. Now it was quite uncer-
tain how things would turn out. Clement
Shaw, the village lawyer, an honest and
upright man, was made executor being an
old and tried friend of the deceased.
With his Walter had long and conf
Dental conversation, imparting to him
what he knew Of his fathers mining spec
ulation and its disastrous result, with its
probable effect In accelerating his death.
II knew something Of this before, Wal
ter" said Mr.. Shaw. "Your father spoke
to me Of being largely interested in the
Great Metropolitan Mining Company !;
but of the company itself and the extent
to which he was involved / knew moth

Yorkshire Pudding.

The recipes usually seen produce a
soggy mass, very different from the
"broad-acred' shire's product. Try this
from a genuine Yorkshire woman !:
Beat thoroughly, two eggs, yolks and
whites together, six tablespoonfuls
flour, salt to season and milk, until the
whole is the consistency Of thick cream.
Pour into a roasting pan and bake in
the drippings from the roast, or heat
to the boiling point one tablespoonful
OF lard or drippings, and bake in this
twenty minutes. 1t is truly delicious
with the accompaniment of roast beef
and brown gravy.

CHAPTER II.-(Continued.) }


AT five o'clock on the afternoon Of the
day after Mr.. Conrad's death, Mr.. Drum
mond entered the house, which was on
the opposite side of the street from the
store. This was the supper hour, and
supper was ready upon the table.
A single glance was sufficient to show
that Mr.. Drummond was not a man to
indulge in luxurious living. There was
plate of white bread, cut in thin slices,
a small plate of butter, half pie, and
a plate of cake. A small pitcher of milk,
a bowl of coarse brown sugar, and a pot
OF the cheapest kind of tea completed the
preparations for the evening meal. Ger
tainly there was nothing extravagant
about these preparations; but Mr.. Drum
mond thought otherwise. His attention
was at once drawn to the cake, and in
stantly frown gathered upon his face.
Are you going to have company to-
1ight, Mrs. Drummond?" he asked.
Not that l know Of" answered his
wife, in some surprise
'Then why is it that you have put both
pie and cake on the tableT
''The cake is a cheap kind"
mo cake is cheap, Mrs. Drummond.

aware that all these articles are very dear
"a present. Until they get lower we need
not have cake, except when company is
present. Take away the cake, if you
please. You can save it for Sunday even
'ng."
II am afraid it will be dried up by that
time"
IF it is dry, you can steam it. have
continually to check you in your extrava-
CANT tastes. Cake and pie, indeed. If
you had your way, you would double my
household expenses"
Mrs. Drummond rose from the table,
and meekly removed the offending cake.
Just then the third and only other mem
Der of the family entered.
This was Joshua Drummond, the only
son, now eighteen years of age, though he
looked scarcely more than sixteen. He in
herited his fathers meanness, but not his
frugality. He was more self-indulgent,
and, though he grudged spending money
for others, was perfectly ready to spend
as much as he could get hold of for him
self.

CHAPTER Ill.

Over Joshua, Mr.. Drummond had less
control than over his wife. The latter
gave way meekly to his unreasonable re-
QUESTIONS but Joshua did not hesitate to
make opposition, being as selfish and self
willed as his father, for whom he enter
tanned neither respect nor affection.
In silence he helped himself to bread
and butter, and in due time accepted a
piece of pie, which Mrs. Drummond made
larger at the expense of her own share.
Finally Mr.. Drummond remarked:
1--WE had telegram to-day from Will
.oughby."
From Willoughby?" repeated his wife.
"Isu't that where your cousin, William
Conrad, lives?"
"He doesn't live there any longer. He's
dead. The funeral is to be day after to-
morrow"
"Shall you go?"
"Yes 1t will cost me considerable; as
much as five dollars or more; but he was
my cousin, and it is my duty to Co." said
Mr.. Drummond, with the air of man
who was making a great sacrifice.
He was rich, wasn't her. asked
Joshua, becoming interested.
Probably worth hundred thousand
dollars said his father, complacently.
~ should think he might have left me
something" said Joshua.
HE never saw you, Joshua" said his
mother.
Joshua stands better chance of get
ting legacy from one who doesn't know
him than from one who does,". said Mr..
Drummond, with grim pleasantly.
"He leaves children, doesn't he?"
Zone child-a boy. Let me see, he must
be fifteen by this time. It's likely l will
be appointed his guardian. I'm the near
est relative"
"Will he come here, then" asked
Joshua.
Very probably"
"Then l hope you'll live better, or he
won't stand It,"
when l require any advice from you,
Joshua, will apply for it." said his
father.
Joshua inwardly hoped that his father
would be appointed guardian, for he hop
ed that in this event it would make diff
ference In the family living; and, besides
if his cousin were rich, he meant to whee-
die himself into his confidence, in the hope
OF future advantage.
Jacob put off going to Willoughby till
the morning train on the day Of the fu-
neral. The next day, therefore, he start
ed taking with him in his valise lunch
of bread and meat tied up in piece Of
brown paper. Shortly after his arrival,
he called at the house of mourning.
81 am Jacob Drummond of Stapleton,
che cousin of the deceased" he explained
to Nancy, who opened the door to admit
him. rs my young relative, Mr.. Con-
RAIDS son, at homer
"Yes, SIR said Nancy, taking an in
ventory of his features, and deciding that
he was very disagreeable looking man.
Mr. Drummond was ushered into the
parlor, where he had little chance to
look around him before Walter appeared.
Mr.. Drummond rose at his entrance. :.
II suppose you don't know me-" he
said; "but was your fathers nearest
living relation"

"Mr. Drummond, believe"
'Yes, Jacob Drummond of Stapleton.
You have probably heard your father
speak of me?"
YES SIR" said Walter.
81 came as soon as / could after get
ting the telegram. left my business to
take care of itself. l wanted to offer you
my sympathy ON your sad loss"
Mr.. Drummonds words were kind,
though the reference to his sacrifice in
leaving his business might have been as
well left out. Still Walter could not feel
as grateful as he wanted to do. Somehow
he didn't fancy Mr.. Drummond.
"You are very kind" he said.
81 mean to be. You know I'm your
nearest relation now. truly feel for you
in your desolate condition, and though it
may not be the right time to say it,
must tell you hope, when the funeral is
over, you will accompany me home and
share our humble hospitality. Mrs. Drum
mond joins me in the invitation"
II have not had time to think Of future
arrangements" said Walter; but thank
you for your invitation
"My son Joshua, too," said Mr.. Drum
mond, sis longing to make your acquaint-
ance. He is older than you, but not much
larger. Joshua is eighteen, but ne will
make very pleasant companion for you.
Let me hope that you will accept my in
vitation."
THANK you, Mr.. Drummond; l will
consult my friends about it."
~ wonder how much l could venture
to ask for board" thought Mr.. Drum
mond. IF l am his guardian l can fix
that I'd suit myself. A hundred thousand
dollars would make me rich man. That
is, could m axe money from it without
injuring the boy"
Mr.. Drummond asked few more ques-
tions about Mr.. Conrad's sickness and
death. Walter answered them, but did
not think it necessary to speak of his
losses by the mining company. Mr.. Drum
mond was a stranger, and not a man to
inspire confidence. So Walter told as lit
tie as he could. At length the visitor,
having exhausted inquiries, rose.
81 shall be here tomorrow" he said
II shall return to Stapleton after the
ceremony. l hope you will make up your
mind to go back with me-"
"I could not be ready SO soon," an.
swered Walter, doubtfully.
81 can wait till next day"
THAT will not be necessary, Mr.. Drum

Mr.. Drummond shook our hero's HAND

As he went down the avenue. he took g
backward glance at the handsome man
sion in which his cousin had lived
THAT boy owns all that property" he
said, half enviously, 'and never worked
day for it. I've had to work for all
my money. But it was foolish to spend
so much money on a house. A third the

Found Body in Lake.

The body OF Antoine Slovenski, whose
disappearance was mentioned in these
columns two weeks ago was found in
Railroad lake last Sunday by two Fin
landers from the Tobin mine who went
there TO fish.
Word was sent 10 the city and the
remains taken in charge by the officers
and turned over TO the wife Burial
was made Monday morning
II seems probable that the fellow
went down at the time he was seen to
fall into the lake by the Austrian.
Later investigation showed that the
place where he fell in was hidden from
view TO the point at which his COM
panions were at the time, which fact
accounts for their not rendering HIM
assistance.
