ed until the papers were examin-
ed by Attorney w. c. Harris. for
the county. and Attorney J.

Perky interests.
The attorneys discussed the
matter for some time previous to
the meeting with Mr.. Perky's
secretary. H. v. Bate, when it
was discovered that date, an
important factor in the papers.

was written April Is. Another
discrepancy was found in the ac-
acknowledgement. when the name
of one of the signers was found
to be wrong.
Attorney Harris said it would
be highly improper for him to
sanction the execution of the pa
pers under the circumstances,
and it was decided that Mr.. Les
