The best thing about Bess Dean al
ways has been her friendship for Alice
Holcombe, now Alice Stockbridge. And
the news which Alice had written that
Miss Dean had not been asked to come

her championship of Alice and Kenneth

comprehended and resented my man
oeuvre and its success with Dicky knew
from a little singing reminder that she

her. But in her laughing face now there
was nothing but friendly good-humor,
save for the touch of malice which al
ways appears to lurk in her eyes.
You seem surprised, ma cherie" she
said with a Gallo little shrug. Although
I happen to know from Alice Stockbridge
that there is no French blood in Bess
Deans ancestry, yet 1 have observed
that she delights to use French words

h Jordan Estate
10 Leasor Owners

The petitions OF various sheep
owners to recover sheep leased to
the late H. F. Jordan were grant
ed by Judge Jesse C. Wiley in the
district court at Conejos yesterday
( afternoon at the conclusion Of ar
guments by counsel. Last Thursday
and Friday the petitions OF Ricardo
Casias. Tomas Atencio. Anastacio
Lobato. Oscar Moeller. L. F. Mar
timex and J. D.. Duran were heard
and Tuesday Of this week the claim
Aof G. w. Bsrdsley was presented
after which counsel presented ar
, suments covering all the cases.
Last spring, prior to his death.
the Clay-Robinson Com. Co.. made
Jordan loan and took a mortgage
on $4,000 head Of sheep as security.
Under agreement Clay-Robinson
took possession of all the sheep un-
der Jordans dominion and placed
them under the supervision OF w.
F. Mcclure. the sheep at the time
being in the actual possession Of
some forty lessees from Jordan.
Since the Transaction and the death
<of Mr.. Jordan 1t developed that he
had leased several small h1Ads Of
sheep from owners and Was SUBJ
leasing them to 4 third party.
Clay-Robinson mace the loan up
ON representations made by Jor-
dan evidenced by leases he held
sfrom the various parties who were
handling his sheep on shares: and
they held that since the owners al
lowed Jordan to appear before the
world A. owner Of the sheep and
sthat he had represented himself as
C-ner Of the sheep and that he had
\ thereby secured . loan. the real
owners were thereby estopped from
baking any claim to the sheep as
Sagainst innocent third parties. The
company also claimed that the petit
,tioners had not proved by sufficient
Identification that they had receiv-
ed sheep from Jordan which be-
'lonEed to them. The court held that
Jordan held the sheep as bailee
from the several owners and that
the law OF estopal did not apply In
cases Of lease by bailee. The court
also held that the proof OF owner
ship presented by petitioners WAS
'sufficient to establish their owner
ship.

tense asked for ten days in which

THE MAN WHO ATE FOUR SHEEP FOR
BREAKFAST

There are famous appetites in his
tory more or less famous appetites right
here in our own community But have
you yet heard Of the American citizen
who consumed four sheep-or, to be ex-
act, the equivalent Of four sheep for
breakfast?
Come with us to Chicago. Arriving
on another train is a stock farmer from
Nebraska who raises sheep by ten thou
sands. No matter about his name; the in
cident is on record in the office of Mr..
Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture in
Washington.
The stock farmer has shipped 10000
sheep before leaving home When his
flock arrives in Chicago he sells it and is
paid THIRTY-TWO CENTS PER SHEEP
after freights, commissions and other
charges are deducted
The next morning he goes into a
fairly good Chicago restaurant and or
ders mutton chops for breakfast When
he pays his bill he finds that he has eaten
the equivalent of the price he had the
day before received for four sheep

and returning allied war loans. told the
House Ways and Means Committee to-
day it was utterly impossible to make
any schedule of payment because Of
conditions in each of the creditor ma
tiOns.
Tho loans should be refunded and
funded at the earliest time possible TO
straighten out the treasury. Mr.. Mel
lon said. There is no authority to
accept bonds or other currency than our
own in payment of the debts. To a
certain extent in arranging for payment
of Indebtedness we have to consider the
indebtedness of one allied nation ia
another. In other words, we have to
work with the other creditor nations on
plan Of settlement
Replying to questions, the Secretary
said the "big nations including
France and Italy. were better able to
pay than the smaller countries.
There has been no thought Of q
general substitution Of Governments ns
debtors" he said. but only n shifting
of the character of securities. 1t is oui
intention to so fund the debts as &c
