OWNERSHIP BY HEIRS

1t often happens that man
dies owning real estate without
having made a will.
The title passes by force of
law to the heirs of the deceased.
They each then hold an equal
undivided interest.
If there are five, the deed of
four will not convey a perfect
title.
Such an incomplete convey
ance is often the source of endless
trouble.
Should the purchaser not hap
pen to know the existence of the
fifth heir, he may be unconcious
of the flaw in his title, and may
be evicted years afterwards
through no fault Of his own.
Take no such chances. De
mand an abstract.

and the How of an Abstract.

THE MYSTERIOUS LEAK.
None of the Builders of the House
 Would Accept Responsibility.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 They had moved into new house, and soon a wet place appeared on the cell ing in a corner of the dining room. A leak somewhere; that was certain. The men who built the house were still at work next door and one by one they were interviewed.
 The painter was asked what he thought about it.
 Don't know" he said, except that it isn't our fault. It's probably up to the carpenter to fix"
 The carpenter was surprised when he heard about the leak and had look at it.
 Ut must be the plumber who's to blame he said Nothing l did or didn't do could cause it."
 Maybe the rain beats in somewhere" was suggested.
 Impossible" he said, ''You try the plumber"
 The plumber was astounded.
 ''No leaks in my york; he said, lev erythings snug in the plumbing and the steam pipes and radiators. Everything s tested. You see the carpenter"
 The carpenter had been seen, he was told and had disclaimed responsibility. He suggested the mason.
 The mason suggested the carpenter; as for himself, he was guiltless.
 The problem was never solved By and by the leak stopped. It must have been an act of God or the public enemy.

CROW STEALS woMAN's HAT.
Nest Made of It and Owners Cat Is
 lmpaled on Pin.

Jacksonville, N. j. Dispatch to New York
 Press
 When Big Ben a crow that has been here for the last five summers. made his reappearance last week, Mrs Josiah sprague had no thought that his advent presaged the loss of her new spring hat and her faVorite house cat. The early spring has hastened the mating season of crows and that was largely responsible for Mrs Spragues loss She bought the hat in Paterson about two weeks ago. It wasn't radical in shape or style but it was a big, attractive piece of headgear and one of its appurtenances was a long pin with a shiny silver knob at the end.
 On Fripay afternoon Mrs. Sprague, re- turning hrom a visit, laid her hat on a chair on the front porch, Three minutes after 1t was missing. She heard a noise on the porch when she was in the house but it slight and she could not be- lieve it had anything to do with the dis appearance of the hat. Besides her hired man. who was at work in the garden, had seen no one enter or leave the house. The hat disappeared as mysterlously as If the wings in the trimmings had carried 1t away. Saturday morning TriXie, the cat which never wandered far away, also disappeared. Mrs Sprague began to be- lieve there was something uneanny about the house. She and several nelBn DOTS made a thorough but vain search for both the headpieee and the household pet. Sunday the hired man, who was in the woods back of Mrs Sprague's home, solv ed the mystery. On a high tree he mo- ticed a gray plume floating above basket-like affair that seemed to be fixed between two limbs 20 feet from the ground.
 The hired man skinned up the tree and found Mrs. Sprague's missing hat and cat. A tragic fate had befallen Trixie, however, for she was impaled on the long hat pin that stuck through the hat. The man scrambled down from the tree with the dead pussy and the hat in his arm. As he did so Big Ben, the crow, and a bird with duller plumage. evidently his mate circled about him with angry cries as If to prevent him from making off with his trophies. The presense of the two crows showed that Big Ben stole the hat so he and his mate would have ready-made nest

SEAT FOR MIR. GRAYToP.
His Age Proclaimed by Well Mean
 ing Young Man in a Street Car.

From the Boston Herald
 T know how old l am," said MT. Gray top, but l like to fancy that other peo- pie don't; that they take me to be younger; and as a rule I am left to cher ish that delusion, but occasionally I get a jolt, as I did yesterday in a street car.
 Seats all taken in this car, but one place in it where by crowding up little they might make room, and sitting on one side of that little thin wedge of space was a young man, and no doubt well meaning, who when he saw me crowded over to make that space bigger, looking up and saying to me, smilingly, as he did so:
 Always like to make room for an old gentleman.
 And I took the seat thus with kind intentions made for me, but I would have preferred to stand up and have had the kindly intended speech left unspoken."

HORSE THIEVES
CAUGHT TODAY

Sheriff Rand, who is in the city
today from Baker City searching for
the men who stole a span of horses
from that locality, received word from
Pendleton this morning that one of the
thieves had been captured there. He
leaves for there this afternoon. The
horses were sold here to George Drum
heller, he in turn selling them to a
Seattle firm. When approached on this
subject Mr.. Drumheller stated that
after buying the team he feared that
it was stolen and upon being notified
turned over the money to the person
who lost them. Newman, the man
arrested in Pendleton is said to be a
notorious theft and it was because of
his shady character that the arrest
was made, positive proof that he was
the criminal being established later.
