 KING MOVE

Although closest friends of John T. King attended the Republican sheep roast at New Britain Saturday when it was expected that a reunion of the King and Rora back forces would be effected, it is doubtful according to the reports current today, that any thing along such a line was accom- plished.
 King was not present at the dinner nor was Will H. Hays, chairman of the national Republican committee. It is declared by the upstate politi- clans that King had considerable to do with Hays absence and that it was a rebuke to the Rorabacl1ers for their slight to King when none of them attended a dinner which he gave in Bridgeport some time ago.

CHILDREN SUE FATHER
FOR LATAH COUNTY LAND

Attorneys Morgan and Boom have
a very interesting and complicated
law suit, among their legal business
which involves the title to 80 acres
of land on the Palouse river near
Kennedy Ford, now valued at about
$4,000. In 1888 Mrs. Bertha McGraw
was presented the 80 acres by her
brother, Joseph Smith.
The deed however, was made to her
husband, Andrew McGraw, who
owned no property.
In 1891, Mrs. McGraw died leaving
no will, being survived by her hus-
band and three minor children. These
children were sent to Canada by the
father and left with relatives.
The estate was never probated and
under the law then, two thirds of the
property passed to the minor children
During all this time the children knew
nothing Of the property and did not
learn the circumstances until year
or two ago. The father, who now
owns about 400 acres of land in Can
ada, has had the use of the land all
these years and now attempts to sell
it.
The purpose of this suit is to Sc
cure for the heirs their interest in
the real estate and profits of the
land for almost % years.

HOG PRICES SLUMP
TO FOURTEEN CENTS
CHICAGO MARKET RECORDS DE
CLINE OF 10 CENTS A POUND
FOR LIVE HOGS

There has been a further slump in
hog prices until they are selling in
! Chicago today at IA cents pound, a
decline of 10 cents from the highest
prices paid Corn and other products
went down in sympathy with hogs and
pork. Locally the market is weak and
Hagen &. Gushing are paying IT cents
a pound, decline of seven cents from
the highest price paid, but three cents
above the Chicago market. Further
declines are feared and buyers hesi-
tate to contract hogs at even the re-
duced prices now prevailing. Bacon,
lard and pork products are expected
to decline before long. The Chicago
market reports follow:
CHICAGO.-Big setbacks in the
price of hogs had weakening
effect today on the corn market. Raj
lies which took place failed to last.
The close was heavy, 3-4 to &c net
lower, with September $1.59 3-4 to
1.6O and December $1.28 to 1.28 ia.
Oats lost 3-4 to 1 1-8c. In provisions
the outcome ranged from 22c decline
to 35c advance.
With thousands of hogs unsold at
the stockyards here and with prices
for the animals down to S14 hun
dredweight, nearly a So drop since a
fortnight, it was virtually inevitable
that the corn market should give
way.
Increased arrivals of hogs were
due largely to talk of a possible strike
of stockyard and packing house en-
ployes. At the same time, packers
demand for hogs was diminished
more or less by falling off in export
buiness and by abnormal conditions
of foreign exchange.
Oats were goverened by the action
of corn.
Provisions reflected the weakness
of hogs and grain, but some upturns
ensued as a result of better cash in
quiry.
