His bride was to come from the old-country, brln grins with her a dot of 1500. The $600 together with Loblnsc's savings, were to go to pay for a farm and Loblnzc was to quit the mill.

' The lawyer carried out his part of the agreement and the sixty acres of good wheat land became his. After Lobinxc was safely housed In the asylum for th,e criminal Insane Smith started In ' to put the farm in good shape. He found the barn in a ! tumble down condition and the fences In poor repair. So he built a new , barn, new fences and remodeled the i little farmhouse which Lobinxc had used as a home.

Edwin M. Lee, Horace C. Stlllwell

and one or two of the other leaders of the movement in this state are dead set on having a third state ticket and they have refused to listen to any suggestions looking to any kind of compromise. And indications are that they

will be in full control of the convention, because they will have a large

number of dummy delegates on hand

ready to fill In where there are va

cancies on county delegations. There will be many of these vacancies nd Lee and Stlllwell will be able to fill in

enough to pack the convention as they want it. Therefore, there does not seem to be any chance of a slip in the plan to nominate a full third state

ticket.
