SALT LAKE, Dec. 1.-Alleging that
the property left him after division with
his divorced wife had been fraudulentiy
taken by his sister. who sold it back
TO the divorced wife and has now
kicked him out of his home, John Hut
neke filed suit in the district court
here for $40, 1000 cash and property and
an attachment against such deposits as
the sister, Mary s. Dittmer. may have
in the Salt Lake banks.
1t is alleged by Huneke that he came
into possession of an undivided ne-haIf
interest in property at Santa Monica
Cal, through divorce decree separat-
/ ing him from Frances Huneke in 1904
After that, ne alleges, his sister unsO-

home with him. She, it is alleged
persuaded him to believe she could
handle his property better than he and
thus induced him to deed his interests
! to her. Then, it is alleged, she sold
| the property back TO the divorced wife
| for $4,000 and turned him out OF
house and home. Huneke says he is

At the request of the Persian min

Cooperating with the work on the

Following the eradication OF every

sion has reserved its decision as to The
continuation Of the course into Yuma,
despite the earlier advocacy OF the

now be available, although the cut

The distance could be made FL Centric
to Brawley and thence over the wash
or to HoltvilIe and thence across.
Good roads advocates of both coun-
ties favor the HOltville route and will
get together shortly to devise plans foi
improving the road through the sand
dunes. Several propositions, the sue
cess of each being vOuched for, have
been suggested, including brushing the
entire seven miles, the use Of oil, or
the installation OF a corduroy road
The object is to overcome the effect
Of the shifting sands, which sometimes
fill in the tracks of the roadway. al
