THEY STRUCK A SNAG|
Judge Kelley Searle UnCOVerS a Pc.
CuIlar Looking Land Suit.
ARCADIA FARMS ARE INVOLVED


An interesting case, involving $4,000
worth OF valuable farm lands in Arcadia
township, just south of Alma, has come
to light this week. The lands in ques-
ton formerly belonged to Andrew Wag-
staff, now of Kansas City, and are now
owned by w. II. Denton and W. Bourne
of Mexico. The latter are represented
by Attorney Bert Hayes of this city and
Stone & Watson of Ithaca. These
attorneys allege the entire deal is a big
land steal
Denton and Bourne own gold mine
about $50 miles from Ocombo, Mex. In
the summer of 1907, one Fred Schoen-
felt of Cheshire, Ohio, obtained an
option OIL these mines for $4,000. This
expired September /, 1907. At that
time he rene,. ed it, transferring the
option to Fl. II, Temple of Kansas City,
Kan., and Judge w. o. Temple OF
Denver, Col The latter, Independent
of Schoenfelt, organized a mining comp.
any. paying Denton and Bourne in
various properties including $50 acres
above mentioned known as the Wagstaff
farms. The Messrs. Temple procured
this property from people to whom Mr..
Wagstatf had sold it,
Then Schoenfelt, claiming that he
was entitled to a commission of $4,000
by reason of his option, came here
quietly and in Juue began suit against
Denton and Bourne before Judge Searle.
A judgement was obtained in November,
and attachment was made on the Wag-
staff property, execution of which was
to have taken place this week.
In the mean time Judge Searle's sus-
picious were aroused by reason of the
fact that Denton and Bourne were not
represented at the trial of the suit He
instructed County CLERK Hughes to get
in touch with them. After several
weeks delay a letter reached them, just
in time to enable them to stop the pro-
ceedings. According to Attorney Hayes,
Judge Temple of Denver, is not party
to the transaction but the deal is being
engineered by Schoenfelt and H. II.
Temple. Legal steps are being taken
to quash the entire proceedings which
the attorneys for Messrs. Denton and
Bourne claim is big land grab.

A BOUNTIFUL DINNER.

The Postoffice Employees Christmas.

Following custom adopted last
year Postmaster and Mrs. G. f.
Brown gave the employees of the
postoffice and their families a Christ
mas dinner at the Tea Cup Inn on
Christmas day. Just 81 in all were

fit for a king. AS host and hostess
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown were at their
best and it was a Joyous occasion
for all.
The excellent dinner prepared by
Mrs. Metcalf, proprietress of the Inn,
comprised everything that could be
desired from tender brown turkey to
good old English plum pudding and
mince pie. The postofiice employees
certainly worked up an appetite dur
TO Christmas, but even a postoffice
employee gets his fill in time, and
everyone had to quit long before all
the good things were gone. The
handsome table decorations and the
well arranged service all added to
the pleasure of the occasion The
menu was as follows:
Consomme in Cups.
Queen Olives. Celery en- Branches.
Baked Whitefish. Saratoga Chips.
Roast Young Turkey with Cranberry
Jelly.
Cabbage Salad.
English Plum Pudding, Brandy Sauce.
MiDce Pie.

BROKE Her LEG.
Miss sAnna Hamilton Meets With An Accident
While Skating.

Monday afternoon, while learning to
skate, Miss Anna Hamilton had the
misfortune to fall and break bone in
her right leg just above the ankle. The
bone was set at DIR. McClinton's office
and she was taken to her home where
she is now doing nicely. 1t will be
some time weeks, however, before she
will be able to be out. Miss Hamilton
is entitled to much sympathy Ill the
misfortune that has befallen her. She
is an honest, hardworking girl and can
ill-afford TO loose the time she must now
give up. Many girls are fortunate
enough to have homes but Miss Hamil-
ton must needs provide her home. She
has been in Alma about two years, and
has become quite popular with all.

one occurred about the Mallory family.
Last week we inadvertently stated that

was the recipient of O handsome Majestic

Howard Crawford of Seattle, Wash,

correcting the mistake.
