SUIT FOR
RENT IS HEARD
Case Involving Rent to Building After
Stock Was Turned over to Trus-
tee Heard by Judge Frear.

The suit of DR.. H. l.. Porter of Sen
eca, VS.. New Vinita Hardware COM
pany, Mrs. F. A. Klinefelter and
Charles o. Gibson, trustee, for unpaid
balance on the rent of the store room,
now occupied by Shanahan & Mitchell,
was heard in the county court yester-
day afternoon, and given to the jury
about six o'clock. Preston S. Davis
appeared for the defendant and Attor-
ney Bennett, of Seneca and e. M. Pro-
basco for DR.. Porter
Mrs. Klinefelter who had been con-
Iducting the New Vinita Hardware
company up to the time OF her assign
ment to Gibson for the benefit Of credi.
tors, claimed that she was not res
sponsible for the nt ~ the store fte~
the stock had been sold by the trus-
tee.
The evidence showed that during the
three months for which DIR. Porter is
seeking to recover rent, Mrs. Kline
felter and the purchaser from the trus-
tee kept the store locked up while they
settled asdispute between themselves
over the sale. Both had locks on the
door, so that neither could enter ex-
cept In company with the other. But
Mrs. Klinefelter retained title to the
fixtures and those remained In the
store until it was finally vacated and
turned over to Dr. Porter.
The jury was out all night.
This morning the jury in the case of
]. K. Taylor vs.. Lewis Rogers reported
that they had not agreed. Judge
Frear ordered the entire testimony In
the case to be read over, and sent the
jury out again. In an hour or so they
come back with verdict for the de-
fendant, and were excused by the
court until tomorrow morning.
Judge Frear returned to court this
afternoon at 80 to see if the jury in
the Porter-Klinefelter case had agreed.
They were still locked up and still
arguing.

KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET.
j. A. Rickart, Correspondent.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov. IA
Run of quarantines here last week was
142 car loads, about the same volume
as previous week, and also the cores
ponding week a year ago. Receipts
contained few short fed steers last
week, the best of which sold at $685.,
and prices on all kinds changed very
little during the week, possibly shade
lower for the week. Run today is 20
cars, about half of it direct to pack
ers from Fort Worth and Oklahoma
City. Some Usage steers have been
coming lately, around $465 to $4.S5,
other medium to common grass steers
$4O0 to $3.50, grass cows 1920 to $4.10,
Gamers $2.75 to 1925. The feature
in the general cattle market lately is
the depressed feeling in fed steers.
Too many short fed steers are being
put forward, particularly at Chicago.
Buyers have had it their own way
there, and have enforced declines of
20 to so cents on fed cattle in the last
week. Feeders have changed their
views about the winter market on
steers, and are trying to push their
cattle onto the market at the earliest
possible time. Some high priced feed
ers bought late in the summer are
coming back, and making either a
small profit or losing money. Argu-
ment has failed to stop liquidation, and
the encouragement has reached stock
ers and feeders, which are selling con-
siderably than a week or ten days ago
After the first scare is over, the face
of the situation may change complete
ly.
Packers progressed about 20 cents
net, per cwt., in their bear campaign
in the hog market last week. although
it took an awful fight to do it. Re
ceipts were only 10000 head, so 1t
will be seen that the country did moth
ing to help in the fight against them.
Run today is 5000, market to Is
lower. The main feature lately is the
closing up of the gap between the diff
ferent weights, and today just about
wipes out all distinctions as to weight,
lights and mediums selling at $3.50 to
$3.50, and heavy hogs at $7.75 to $3.50.
Now that prices are under $500 it is
figured that the market will run along
more even for awhile.
Big runs of sheep and lambs keep
coming, and prices are gradually melt
ing away, Is to 25 lower last week,
and little lower today, Run is 10000
today. Two thirds of the stuff coming
is in the feeder class, and it is getting
hard TO move it. Fed lambs bring
1925 to $640, and feeding lambs may
be had at $500 to $5.25. Best year.
lings bring $4.75, wethers around $4.00,
ewes 1926 to 1915.
