FEUD IS REOPENED.
Man Believed to Be Dead Turns Up as
DiSturber.

St Louis, Aug. 20.-When Charles
Thomas. of Shrewsbury Park, ST. Louis
county, went to Clayton to take out
letters of administration on the estate
OF his brother Louis Thomas. who was
killed Aug. II by a street car, he met
as an opponent his father, Emil S.
Thomas, whom the members of the
family had believed dead. The father
already had obtained letters of admin
istra ton.
The incident has opened family
feud which ceased about ten years ago
when Mrs Thomas, the mother. OBJ
tanned a divorce. Thomas left and was
not heard from except soon after his
departure when he wrote two letters
to his former wife and never received a
reply. The son filed a motion to re-
woke the letters granted his father. and
Probate Judge r. L. Shackelford set
Aug. 30 as the date for testimony as to
who should administer the estate.

CATTLE FLOOD MARKET.
All Records Of Receipts at Kansas
CITY Yards Broken.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. September T.
Nine thousand cattle were received at the
local stock yards today, bringing the cat
tie receipts for the first four days of
this week to 1927, and establishing
a new record The previous record was
made in October, 1908. when 1856 cattle
came in.
The presence Of out-of-town buyers has
partially sustained the market, and prices
today on prime cattle were steady, on
killers % to SOC lower. on stockers and
feeders 10 to &c lower, and on common
stock % to J0c lower. The number of
buyers and shippers at the yards was
the largest ever seen there. Country
buyers have taken care of % per cent
of the cattle received since the rush
started.
A conservative estimate Of the amount
of money that has changed hands at the
yards during trading hours of the four
days Of this week places the figures at
one and one-half million dollars day,
or over $3,OOO<a minute on cattle alone.
Market men say all the thin cattle are
being taken care of by the country buy
ers. and as long as this continues the
market will remain practically steady.
