ORDER KEEFER TO
GIVE UP PAPERS
Court Decides Family Land
Dispute Involving Deeds
Taken From Desk
Within the next
JJ>) h 111 fifteen days Horace
y/JL/r —B. Keefer, son of
Major John B.
—•—' / \1 Keefer, must turn
over to his brothers
and sisters either
Hf 1 Tll'mm duplicates of the
Ire S properties in which
I ■he shared under the
will of his father,
and these no had agreed to transfer
in November, 1914, but surreptitiously
snatched from an attorney's desk after
the agreement was entered Into. Ad
ditional Law Judge S. J. M. McCarrell
BO decided the suit brought by the
other Keefer heirs against Horace to
compel the return of these papers. In
citing the facts in the case Judge
McCarrell points out that the Keefer
brothers and sisters had agreed to pay
to Horace $30,000 for his share of the)
half-dozen or more tracts of land that
constituted the late major's estate. In
cidentally, Horace wanted what is
known as the Linglestown farm, and
the other heirs agreed to turn this
over to htm for SB,OOO, the price to be
deducted from the $30,000. Accord
ingly, a check for $22,000 was made
out and the signed agreement was left
on Attorney Paul A. Kunkpl's desk
while Keefer and his own Attorney
went out to discuss the question of
attorney fees. No agreement could be
reached and Horace returned to
Kunkel's office. While the latter was
at the telephone in an adjoining room
h picked up the signed deeds and
agreement entered into a short time
before and departed. In ordering
Keefer to return the deeds forthwith
Judge McCarrell severely condemns
him for appropriating papers that
were no longer his because of a dis
agreement with his counsel. Further
more, Keefer is ordered to pay the
costs.

t Cincinnati, 0., Dec. 29.—Freak
i styles In men's clothes are coming
■ back next year, says Irving I. Frankel,

i be catching in the fall or winter of
1917.
. "We have had u sample of freaks tn
, the coats adorned with buttons and
. patch pockets," said ho. "Do you re
. member the flaring coats? Then the
; balmacaan overcoat came into vogue,
i and now we have with us the trench
overcoat, made popular by the war."
Overcoats and suits for next fall and
, winter will not have padded shoul
: ders, Frankel says. Just what styles
there will be will be determined by
the style committee to be named when
. the designers meet in Cincinnati Janu
. ary 14.

Austria May Seek Peace
Separately With Italy;
Emperor Is For Pact
London, Dec. 29.—1t Is an open se
cret here that Emperor Charles of
Austria-Hungary is desirous of con
cluding a peace at the earliest pos
sible moment, and to this end is
likely to make separate overtures to
Italy for the conclusion of hostilities
between the two countries.
Since his sucession to the throne,
the new Emperor has shown a spirit
of Independence anything but pleas
ing to Count Tisza and the other mem
bers of the Potsdam party in the
Cabinet of the dual empire. His
country has had to bear the brunt of
the economic hardships of the Central
Powers, and is now on the brink of
starvation. His readiness to strike a
separate bargain with Italy, looking
toward the eventual retirement of
Austria from the entire war, is there
fore evident.
