threatened to kill him She told him once that she would commit suicide and die in such a manner as to make it appear that he hadmurdered her He gave other details of her alleged cruelty The trial Is not finished Some anxiety has been caused among the attorneys In the Fair case over the disappearance of the famous pencil deeds by tpeans of which Mrs Nettle Craven sought to secure title to two valuable pieces of real estate belonging to the Fair estate In the recent com promise of Mrs Cravens claims by the Fair heirs Mrs Craven and her attorneys agreed among other things to turn over the two pencil deeds to the attorneys on the other side of the case Attorneys Lloyd and Heggerty have been unable thus far however to locate the documents and their disappearance from the County Clerks office has given rise to no small amount of ystery Reuben Lloyd went to the County Clerks offlce several days ago armed with qn order for the delivery of the deeds and a diligent search of the office failed to bring them to light It was presumed from this that Mrs Cravens attorneys must nave taken tnem away as they had a right to do under the order of the court made after thetrlal of the case Attorney Lafe Pence Is in Denver and could ndt be communicated with but Charles Pence declared that the papers In question must still be In the possession of the County Clerk as the order of court permitting MrB Cravens attorneys to take their exhibits had never been presented James McElroy who was clerk of Judge Slacks Court during the trial of tbe pencil deed case was Interviewed by the attorneys and said he had turned the deeds over to Joseph Gbddard former chief deputy In the County Clerks offlce Goddard remembered that he had locked the papers In a strong box in the clerks offlce and was sure they would be found there Frank French the present chief clerk of the office declared that he had riever received the key to the strong box In question and that the box had never been unlocked since he assumed his present position The box was accordingly broken open yesterday afternoon The pencil deeds were not there and the circumstance only added to the mystery Attorney HeggertyJald yesterday afternoon that he had not the slightest Idea as to the present whereabouts of the missing papers but professed to be very little concerned about the matter The pencil deeds he said have absolutely no value and I cannot understand what motives couia have prompted any one In making away with them Had the deeds disappeared before the termination of the litigation there might have been some ground for presuming that some one took them with the idea of making a profit out of them As matters stand however the deeds are worthless Judge Slack decided that the deeds were forgeries and ordered them canceled Mrs Craven took an appeal from this decision and the Supreme Court sustained the action of the lower court In the recent settlement with Mrs Craven her appeal to the Supreme Court from the refusal of the lower court to grant a new trial In the pencil deed case was formally withdrawn and this finally and forever settles all questions of title to the property The deeds are absolutely worthless and we simply desired to get possession of them to get them out of the way The famous pencil deeds purported to be a conveyance frbm James Fair to Nettle Craven of the title to property on the southwest corner of Pine and Sansome streets and to property on the corner of Eleventh and Mission streets known as the Clay Green property WITHDRAWS APPLICATION It will cost nearly J500000 to put the transport Grant In good condition Bids for doing the work were openedryes terday and all were found to be in excess of 1400000 They were telegraphed to Washington but it is not believed that the expenditure of anything like this amount will be authorized by the War Department notwithstanding the fact that the Grant has thus far had an economical career and shows a more creditable record than any of the other big troopships The bids were solicited on the basis of eight hours work per day but some of the local concerns refused to bid except on a basis of ten hours on the ground that it would demoralise their shops to have part of the employes working eight hours while the remainder were employed ten hours a day For several weeks past thoCrant has been lying at Folsom street wharf waiting to be turned over to the successful bidder or her repairs and alteration The specifications are elaborate and call for the practical rebuilding of the huge vessel Much of the work could in the event of the rejection of the bids probably be dispensed with for an Indefinite period without impairing the Grant seaworthiness or ner general usefulness as a troopship but the plans provide for nothing that has not been shown to be necessary lnorder to place the transport In first class condition The work required and which waa oov ered by the bids includes the extension of the midship house and promenade deck the reconstruction of the houses and fittings extension of the shade deck and construction of a bridge and house containing a wheelhouse and chartroom the construction of a steel house for the after lavatory the laying of a steel deck over the entire area of the hosDital the construction of an Iso lation hospital and bridge over the after lavatory

storeroom placing new boilers ana enure overnauung oi me machinery including the electric and refrigerating plants alteration of the cargo ports and deadlights on the main deck and a general

ceedlngly serious problem to many people especially when headaches follow leaving off the drug and dyspepsia and bowel trouble grow more and more serious if the coffee is continued So there you ara between two fires A comparatively easy way oat was taken by a lady from Franklin Pa who says We had a curious experience with coffee Husband had been for many years a sufferer from dyspepsia with heartburn headaches ahd general nervous trouble We tried a great many physicians and a great many remedies but none of them did him any lasting good We concluded there must be something about his employment that thus affected him pne day a man told him that probably coffee was the cause of his trouble and advised him to use Postum The first time I made It I studied directions and made It good Well that day was a day long to be remembered if We liked Postum but we had a hundred headaches compressed Into one Tou pee the trouble was we had both used coffee so long that our nerves were In a state of collapse without the usual stimulant Until then did not dream I was such a slave to coffee but we had to do something to quit so the next morning I used Postum with part coffee and we missed the headaches then I used less coffee every morning for about two weeks and then Postum alone for nearly a year now and I Just wish you could see the change In my husband He has better health ithan he ever had before never has the headache can eat anything he wants does hot have heartburn or any stomach trouble and he cannot he induced to drink coffea jiinder any circumstances When anybody mentions dyspepsia In his presence he telhUhem what cured him twas almost a bad as he but am now entirely well and have gone up from hlrietyveight pounds to 108 pounds and ant ioithankful for the blessing of
