Decision Reversed
in Suit on Land
in Fergus County

i Helena, Feb. zu.-Taking the view
that plaintiff in the Fergus county
case of the state of Eliza J. Hen
derson against H. e. Daniels had not
conformed to the requirements in the
matter of contract for sale of land
to the defendant and that accordingly
had no cause of action and, further,
that plaintiffs exhibits should not
have been admitted as evidence, the
supreme court has reversed the judg-
ment of the lower court and has re-
manded the cause with instructions to
dismiss the complaint. The opinion
was delivered by Commissioner A. p
Stark.
The records in the case show that
the executors of the estate on Dec.

the sale to e. H. Daniels, of Lewis

them. He aided in taking the body
from the car and helped to carry it
into the living room and lay it on
couch; he remained until it was GER
tain that Warden had been killed and
nothing could be done. When this
had been established and further con-
firmed by the doctor who was called,
Kondo and Mrs. Warden looked
around for the young man-but he
was no longer there.
The news of the murder brought ex-
traS out upon the streets Of Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland at ten o'clock
that night Seattle, stirred at once at
the murder of one of its most prOmi-
nent citizens, stirred still further at
the new proof that Warden had been
q power in business and finance; then,
as the second days dispatches from
the larger cities came in, 1t stirred a
third time at the realizatiOn-for so
men said-that this was the second
time such a murder had happened.
Warden had been what was called
among men of business and finance
a member of the "Latron crowd; he
had been close, at one time, to the
great western capitalist Matthew La
tron; the properties in which he had
made his wealth, and whose direction
and administration had brought him
the respect and attention of other men,
had been closely allied with or even
included among those known as the
'Latron properties; and Latron, five
years before, had been murdered. La
tron's murderer had been a man who
called upon him by appointment, and
Warden's murderer, it appeared, had
been equally known to him, or at least
equally recommended. OF this as
much was made as possible in the sug-
gestion that the same agency was be-
hind the two.
The statements of KOndO and Cor
boy were verified; it was even
learned at what spot Warden's MUIR
derer had left the motor unObserved
/ by COrbOy. Beyond this, no trace was
found of him, and the disappearance
of the young man who had come to
Warden's house and waited there for
three quarters of an hour to see him
was also complete.

"All right, then. That's all l had

ing to see me tonight, Cora. Probably
he's downstairs. I'll tell you all l

He went directly downstairs; as he
passed through the hall, the telephone
bell rang. Warden himself answered
it. KOndo overheard Warden's end of
the conversation. Apparently the
other person wished to see Warden at
once. Warden finished, "All right I'll
come and get you. Wait for me there"
Then he hung up.
Turning to Konde, he ordered his

Kondo opened the house door for him

The Adair County news., 1922-12-12

A rich but universally respected
western man is murdered in his
automobile. The crime is accom-
plished with such stealth that even
the chauffeur is not aware of it.
Some months previously an eastern
business associate, but not an init
mate Of the western man, had met
death in an equally mysterious
manner. There is absolutely no
clew to the murder and no apparent
motive for the second crime.
Basil Santoine, a blind lawyer,
with that remarkable inner percep-
ton frequently developed by the
sightless, while travelling on an
eastbound train from Seattle in the
company of his daughter and his
confidential secretary, is murder
ously assaulted in his berth. Some
features of this assault are more
mysterious than either of the other
b crimes.
There is no superdetective nor
scientific investigator to deduce in
fallible theories fastening the guilt
upon the right party or parties.
Police efforts are futile and sue
ceed only in fouling the trail, in
volving innocent parties and In
creasing the complications. The
only tangible clews seem to point
to one Philip Eaton, a mysterious
young man, who was aboard the
train. There is also a suspicion
that he may have been connected
with the murder Of the rich man
in Seattle.
Apparently against all dictates of
sense and safety, Eaton is made
guest in the sumptuous home of
Santoine. Here the mystery deep
ems to an extraordinary degree and
the big queries arise: Who is Phil
ip Eaton; what is the past of this
strange man; what intuition or req
soning draws the blind man to him
In face of the danger of his pres
ence; in what way is Eaton con-
nected with the sinister events
which afterward occur in the San
tome home; what explanation is
there for the growing interest of
Harriet Santoine in the man who
Is believed to have made an at
tempt upon her fathers life?
Here are mystery and romance
different from anything you ever
have encountered. The outcome of
events and solution of the mystery
are as unexpected as anything you
possibly can imagine.

The Express Is Held for a Parsonage.
Bob COnnery, special conductor for
the Coast division of one of the chief
transcOntinentals, was having late
breakfast on his day off at his little
cottage on the shore Of Puget sound,

his door. The chauffeur hurried from
the car to the house with an envelope
