LETTER FROM GREEN
FIELD ABOUT SMALLPOX

The Enterprise is in receipt Of a
very long letter from a good friend
at Greenfield, relative to the
smallpox situation, but we can
not publish the same, believing
that Mayor Ezzell and the local
board of health are fully competent
to handle the situation. Though the
columns of newspaper is not a
good place to handle such prob
lens and the Enterprise has never
encouraged it.

LEASE OFLIFE
FOR TWODAYS
GIVEN TREATY
Conference Agrees to Meet
Again Thursday After
Stormy Session.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Peace
treaty compromise negotiations, how
ering on the verge of dissolution,
were given today new forty-eight
hour lease on life. But there was
nothing in the development which
changed the pessimistic view of the
Senate leaders as to the final out
come.
The Democrats, replying to the
Republicans refusal to compromise
on Article 10 and the Monroe Doc
trine, charged at stormy session Of
the bipartisan compromise confer
ence that Republican leaders had
suddenly changed front after most
of the conferees had consented to
an Article 10 compromise in def
mite form. To this the Republicans
opposed categorical denial, declar-
ing no one at all had agreed to the
proposed compromise draft.
After two hours of wrangling,
during which the Democrats threat
ened to transfer the whole subject
to the open Senate, the conference
agreed to meet again Thursday in
another effort to bring the negotia-
tions to a successful conclusion. A
few Senators protested to see some
rays of hope in the situation, but to
most of the leaders the outlook APP
peared far from promising.
Numerous private conferences on
both sides followed with the leaders
feeling out sentiment carefully as
they approached the final show
down that may come at Thursdays
meeting. In some quarters it was
believed that in the interval Presi-
dent Wilson would take a hand to
stiffen the resistance of the Demo-
Gratis, but White House officials
were silent, and Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska, the acting Democratic
leader of the Senate, declared he was
preceding without knowledge of the
views on the specific COM
promise reservations discussed in
the conference.

IN SESSION HERE
FRIDAY to be Divorce Day. De-
cree Entered in Freeman
Suit. Other Cases.

Chancery court convened for the
January term Monday of this week,
with Chancellor Homes present end
presiding, and present also /. l..
Banks, clerk and master, and b. a.
Thompson, sheriff. No business was
transacted Monday ether than the
easy call" Of docket and routine
woik, such as confirming funl re-
ports of the clerk and master and
entering short orders in various ca
SIS.
TuesdAJ more ..y2oi iant cases
we're hearl. IN the case of RI re =
Stewart VS.. Jewell Day Jones, a de-
cree was had for the confirmation of
the sale of the w. S. Stewart home
place, in the 5th civil district, to w.
H. P. Parrish, at the price Of
$2,225, for tract containing about
116 acres.
In the case of Carlos D. Oliver, VS..
L. P. Moore, guardian, decree was
pronounced and entered on the min
utes of the court confirming the
sales of the clerk ind master, of the
lands of T. J. Oliver, deceased, in
the 9th civil district, consisting of
two tracts, one of about 81 acres,
sold to L. P. Moore and Carlos D.
Oliver, at the price of $1,352.5O;
and the sale of tract of about %
acres was confirmed to W. G. Oliver
and R. B. Edmondston, at the price
of $3.50. In this case the question
arose as to whether or not the guar
dian of a minor, who has an interest
in the land sought to be sold, could
be a purchaser and acquire good
title, as the general statutes forbid
such guardians to become purchas-
ers within five years from the ter
mination of the guardianship. But
it appeared to the court that this
particular sale was made through the
court in carrying out the terms OF
the will of T. ]. Oliver, which direct
ed that the lands should tie sold and
treated as personality; hence, the
case constituted an exception to the
general rule, and the guardian could |
purchase or become purchaser with |
out violating statutes and acquire |
good title, where, in case the land
had been sold for the manifest in
terest of minors, the guardian can
not be such purchaser.
In the case of B. j. Byars VS.. Earl
Bond, sale of the home place Of P.
C. Byars, deceased, in. the 9Th dis
trict, was confirmed to C. ]. Brann,
at the price of $4,000 The estate of

Hrs. Pear Roffe the lands of the late
John Roffe, in the 7th district,
nave been sold to T. W. Henderson,
At the price of $4,000. In this
Ease the chancellor held that, after
he application of the amount of
personality on hand had been ex-
lausted towards the payment of
lebts and the balance Of the debts
,aid out of the sale of the realty, the
widow of John Roffe was entitled
20 dover in one-third of the remain

CADDOCK TO Be
in DES MONIES
FAMOUS IOWA WRESTLER TO
MEET BIG MAN IN CAPITAL
CITY IN APRIL

Earl Caddock, famous Iowa wrest-
Ter will wrestle in Des Moines soon.
This announcement was made Mon
day by Oscar Thorson following his
return from Walnut, where he went
to interview Caddock and to investi-
gate the extent of his injuries sus-
tanned in match with stranger"
Lewis in New York a week ago.
Thorson returned firmly convinced
that the Iowan's injuries are slight
and that he will b ready to return to
the mat in two or three weeks. He
also returned with contract signed
by Caddock calling for match with
any opponent Thorson may be able
TO sign TO meet him.
"Caddock's jaw was not broken as
reported last week" said Thorson.
THAT story was evidently put out by
some friend of Lewis, for Earl show
ed me that his jaw was all right, and
that his collarbone which was slight
ly fractured, is healing nicely. In
fact il is not bothering him much
now. When found out that he will
be all right soon, / signed him to
contract. / don't know just whom
I will match him with. l want to
get strong opponent, one who will
either beat him or force him to the
limit. At this time / don't think of
any better opponent for him than
Wladek Zbyszko, who gave Earl such
great fight two years ago and who
recently defeated John Pesek."
According to Caddock, his collar
bone was not broken by the fall to
the mat Immediately preceding his
defeat, but the injury was sustain
ed about ten minutes before when
Lewis fell on top of HIM off the edge
of the mat. The wound was painful
and weakened the Iowan, who had
broken Lewis deadlock several times
before. The pressure on his head,
the pain of the broken bone and his
fall with Lewis heavy body on top Of
his partially dazed him and he was
declared down by the referee before
he could offer much resistance.
Thorson stated that he was now
dickering with several wrestlers in
an effort to complete his card.
