the mountains near Eureka Springs
He'll come in like man, else he
is not my son. said the father. 81

without appealing to tie higher court

clded whether an effort will be made
to secure rehearing before the, SUI
preme court. The attorneys have
seven days in which to file motion
for a rehearing.

recently Mrs. Madding, who formerly
was Miss Mary Eleanor Mast of Lit

bile to be delivered in st. Louis. 1t
