her release from the insane hos

Mrs. Paukshen asks the court t.
make a division of the property
estimated to be worth $4,000, ant
in addition asks for an allowance
of $500 for court costs, 5000 TEN

SEEMS TO BE
MONEY IN SPUDS

Charles e. Horton, former city
water clerk, is engaged in job
bling business in potatoes. A few
days ago he sold five carloads of
potatoes procured in the Walla
Walla country at 30 cents per 100,
making a profit of seven cents per
100 pounds.
The next day the market reports
in one of the local papers an
nounced on the authority of the
wholesalers that potatoes were
scarce and that the wholesalers
would soon have to advance the
price to $3.50 per 100. This an
nouncement, in view of the jobbing
prices, causes some speculation AS
to how much profit the wholesaler
actually requires in his business.

forced him to 60 on. Maddox no
doubt feared that Osterfield and
Fletcher-who are great pals
would beat him between them, and
when Osterfield's caller spoiled
his cross examination Maddox
probably jumped to the conclusion
that the interruption had been ar
ranged beforehand. You look sur
prised. but l tell you 1t isn't the
first time thing of that kind has
happened in Osterfeild's court. He
doesn't have a man like Maddox to
deal with every day-that's the
only difference. l wouldn't have
missed it for anything! Did yo,.
notice how beautifully he maneu-
vered? No. Of course you couldn't
appreciate that; but tell you his
tactics showed that he was sure of
himself and knew his business, and
that he had taken Osterfield's
measure to an inch. You see. all
he wanted was to plant good ex-
ception In the record, and he
played and worried and scared Os.

ception will upset any decision, and
once he had that Maddox could
abandon his case and let the old
scamp do his worst. 1t took cour.
age to make the move. but the
calm nerve and cheek Of the thing
appealed to me. BY Jove, shall
never forget Osterfeilds facet"
But did't he decide against Mr..
Maddox"
"Of course: but he had no right
to do so. Maddox will appeal and
reverse him. Most of the appellate
judges hate Osterfield If Maddox
had continued he would have lost
his case ON its merits, as we say.
Now he'll get new trial and a
new Judge Not only that, but he's
heard the plaintiffs testimony and
the plaintiff hasn't his."
That doesn't sound quite fair.
