from Mrs. Kaiser and obtained a lease
from her. The Hamilton lease expired
Oct. 1, 1910. and previous to the death
OF Mr. Hamilton. Since that time Mrs.
Hamilton has not only refused to pay
any rent, but has refused to give pos
session of the real estate unless would
pay her the sum of $500. The above
determination was the result OF the
advice of Mr.. James T. Smith. Mrs.
Hamilton originally was willing to deal
fairly with me, but because of the fact
that Smith is the agent of the Evans

that has Smith for an agent he is try
