expected, then, to live to old
age, and speculation at the

narrow range including only
those who had lived the al
lotted time. There is no rea
son why people should net
have the same expectancy of
age to-day, except for the
neglect and abuse of the one
organ on which all the other
organs depend the stomach.

black jacfc games have been opened.
Ibe passage cf the felony law, which
Tas confidently expected to end gamb

restrictions and penalties were less se

made possible by public indifference,

The following clipping was handed
the Gazeete by Geo. Swaggart, of this
city. The article was taken from the
Times, of Trenton, Mo., and in itself is
explanatory :
"Last Saturday, Judge J. W. Alexan
der, of Gallatin, handed down an opinion
in an interesting land case from the
forks of the river which he has had un
der advisement since last July and
which involved the title to 1(10 acres of
very pood land. The facts are about
these :
"Away back in 1S51, James Austin
leeded this land to Cynthia Clark, for
and during her natural life, remainder
in fee fo M e heir'nNf her body. This
mens, so the court holds, that Cynthia
C'ark was to have the land as long an
she lived, and, then, it va to go fo her
hildren. Afterwards, in 1SG5, Cynthia
Claik sold her interest in this land 'o
William 13. Tabor.
"Then, Cynthia Clark. whose husband
had died leaving her and her children
surviving him, went with her children
to the Pacific Slope. They crossed the
plains and winded around the moun
tains with an ox team.
"Cynthia Clark lived until September
of last year, dying at Heppnpr, Oregon.
"Then her children and grandchildren
at once returned to Missouri, and
claimed this land. They claim it by
reason of the deed from James Austin.
It seems that the heirs of Cynthia Clark
had safely kept all ancient documents
pertaining to the land, with a view of
claiming it at their mother's death. The
heirs of Cynthia Clark claim that thev
believed that those occupying thj land
were occupying it only as life tenants
under Cynthia Clark.
"Cut, however that may be, it seems
that Mr. Tabor to whom Cynthia Clark
had conveyed her life estate, made an
additional claim to the lai.d. In 1809,
Mr. Tabor instituted a court proceeding
in which he sought to secure to himnelf
the absolute title to the land, and, to
exclude the claim of the Claik heirs.
"Thos who occupy the land claim
that the proceeding thus instituted by
Mr. Tabor i a leeal one. It is these
conflicting claims that Jadtre Alexander
decided. The Claik heirs claimed
eiht tenths of the land, there being
ten of the heirs and two of them hay
ing Bold their interests in it.
