On November Z Grant issued orders to
Gen Thomas to attack the Confederate
right. which covered the line of railroad
to their rear and also that up which
Longstreet had marched toward East
Tennessee.
Knowing the weakened condition OF
the animals in Chattanooga, Grant or.
dered that mules from the wagon trains
and ambulances, and IL necessary off,
GERS horses, be impressed to haul the
guns into battle.
Gen. Thomas declared that he could
not move a single piece of artillery.
Grant, therefore, reluctantly relinquished
the attack.
Grant now determined to attack as soon
as Sherman. who had been marching
east from Memphis, could arrive. He
had great confidence in Sherman's troops,
who had served under him in the Vicks-
burg campaign, while he feared that the
troops of the Army of the Cumberland
might have been SO shaken by Chick
amauga as to have lost the power OF
dashing boldly into battle. "a few days
were to demonstrate that this fear OF
Grants was without foundation.)

LATHAM WOULD ENJOIN
SALE OF APARTMENT
Alexander Shaper and Others Asked
to Give Accounting Of What
Is Due from Beacon"
FORECLOSURE is OPPOSED

J. Wilbur Latham yesterday filed suit
against Alexander Shaper and others to
enjoin the sale of the Beacon apartment
house under two deeds OF trust
Plaintiff alleges that in March, 1915. he
purchased, through the firm OF Gardiner
4 Dent the Beacon apartment house for
$4,000, payments being made partly in
trade for other property and partly in
cash. At the time he purchased the
property IL was subject TO an encum-
brance Of $4,000. and he placed another
encumbrance Of $500 on it by second
mortgage. He AYERS that subsequently
he has advanced money by either the
Shaper, TO the extent Of $3,225, for which
he gave a mortgage upon the property OF
5000. and that in October, 1918. he gave
another mortgage on the property of
sS.1R to secure the defspdant, shaper,
that sum.
Latham further claims that the coIIec-
ton of the rents and handling of the
receipts of the property has been in the
hands of Gardiner & Dent. and that
November l last. both the third and
fourth trusts matured, and the full
amount on the face of the trusts was
demanded of him, and notice given that
the property would be advertised for
foreclosure, and sold November II, unless
payment in full of interest and principal
was made. Plaintiff AYERS that the full
face of the trusts is not due; that there
is only due $5,Z-S on the S55.Ooo trust, and
a lesser sum on the fourth trust
The court is asked to enjoin the sale
and require an accounting from the de-
PENDANTS of what is due in order that
the plaintiff may pay the obligation and
not have to sumbit to foreclosure.

ticipate in it The attention of the North
and South was focused on the scene.
The fortunes of the Confederacy, south
of Virginia were staked on the result.
The poverty of the Confederacy in men
and means was exposed by the pre-
paratiOn to meet the issue. Gen. Bragg
had been victorious in the battle of
Chickamauga, September. 20, and the Fed
erals, under Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, had
retired; but Bragg had been tardy in pur-
suing and when, three days after the
battle, he seized Missionary Ridge and
Lookout Mountain. the Federals were
too strongly posted to be attacked. In
the week following no reinforcements had
come to him, and his army was short Of
supplies.
The loss of Chickamauga had resulted
in Gen. Rosecrans' relief from command
of Chattanooga, and the creation of the
military division of the Mississippi with
Grant at its head. Grant had arrived
at Chattanooga after a hard ride over
the mountains, from Bridgeport, Ala, on
October, %.

Before Grants arrival he had appoint

Of French origin is only just beginning
to be appreciated by our American
housewives. This ware. which is glazed

a utensil most adapted TO slow cooking.
and therefore to the cheaper cuts of
meat, which are tender only after the
long, slow processes. Meats or vegetables
