In their complaint, the two sons Of
the republic to the south assert that
Nelson in signed contract agreed t.
purchase from them approximately zoe
head Of cattle, then on range in Lower
California, Mexico. They claim, and
the appended copy Of the contract
would show, that Nelson ageed to pay
$50 = head for the cattle and all ex-
ponses Of moving them from the Mex
leo range about 200 miles TO Campo,
Cal. There he was to pay them $500
| in gold and deed to them 100 acres Of
land in the Willamette valley, and an
other quarter section in Malheur
county, Ore.
Messrs. karconi and Candolf sllege
that when they delivered the cattle,
$50 In number, to Nelson at the Cali
fornia town designated, he sold 400
head Of them and converted the money
to his own use, paying them nothing.
They further sllege that the land was
not worth what Nelson claimed it
should be valued at, and that the OPP
tion he held on one of the tracts ex-
pired this present month, he never
having owned it. The 260 animals
not sold in California were shipped to
Malheur county.
The two aliens ask that they be
awarded $50, 900 damages and that the
contract, signed on July 20, 1915, be
declared null and void.

Boise---That fruit is injured by frost
only in spots and not generally through
this part Of the state, was the sub
stance of report given to the Com
mercial club members during the Sat-
urday noon luncheon by C. ]. Sinsel.
Shortly after the frost, said Sinsel,
the fruitgrowers seemed anxious to re-
turn to the dealers great quantities Of
spray and orchard supplies which they
had bought. Most of the dealers,
thinking the fruitmen were hard hit
BY the cold snap, took back the goods
they had sold but a short time before.
But in the past few days, continued
Sinsel, many of the men have returned
to get their supplies once more, saying
that the damage was not as great as at
first reported. Some from the district
supposed to have been the worst hurt
even said that their loss would not be
more than one-third of the prospective
crop.
