Upon the question of the validity of the adoption of a child six years ago de pends the dispensation of an estate of $80,000 left by James H. Blenklron of Ilartington , Neb. Suit was brought three weeks ago at Ilartington , Nob. , by three brothers and six sisters of Mr. Blenkiron. Leonard Blenklron of Coleridge , Neb. , who was interested In property with the deceased , Is the only one who declined to participate in the legal tight and ho has been made a defendant. J. E. Blenklron of Sioux City Is one of the plaintiffs. James H. Blenkiron and wife came to Sioux City six years ago to llnd a child to adopt and upon the recom mendation of Mrs. J. A. Thurston , po lice matron , took homo with them a 1-months-old baby.son ofNcttieSmlth , Four years later Mr. Blenklron was killed by the editor of a Belden news paper in an altercation over the pub lication of an article.

Klesau Drug Co. Mammoth Conflagration Was Narrowly Averted. FAIR STORE WAS ENDANGERED Two Doxcs of Matches , Wrapped for Delivery , Suddenly Go Off With a Puff and a Flame While the Store Is Filled With Shoppers. What might very easily have turned Into one of the lloreesl llres Norfolk ever unw , mid what Incident ally explains perfectly clearly how many of Iho tires of mysterious ori gin are really slnrled , look place at ( ho Fair sloro Saturday al'lornoon when Iho InimoiiHo building was crowded with people mirglni , ' In and mil , paekod logolhor In all depart- incuts. The trouble- nil lay In two tiny and appparontly Innocent boxes of Searchlight matches which hud boon sold to a woman mid which , wrapped In paper , had been placed upon a counter to wait iiulll the purchaser might want to carry the package homo. With no 0110 In the Immedi ate vicinity of Iho package of matches , there was suddenly a puff mid an outburst of llmnos on llm counter. In an instant the two boxoii bad been completely eoimuiiiod and In another Instant , but for the hasty work of a salesman , the store might have been allrti. Nothing to Set the Fire. There was nothing to set the lire , There Is no explanation save that of spontaneous combiislloii and from this , above all other things , are matches supposed to bo free. The boxes themselves wore closed an they always are In manufaclurlng and around them was the nir-tlght wrapping of paper. Vet all of this was not enough to prevent , the heat getting the bettor of the brlmstono and the sulphur head on every little stick of wood was eaten off by the bla/.e. Explains Many Mysteries. Just this Incident , Insignificant as It Is in Itself , may explain many mysteries in the tire line and may reveal the start of many blazes that are discovered In the night and for which there Is never any definitely known cause. Very many llros have occurred in the history of Norfolk for which no reason could IK ; assigned and It Is possible that Just such a voluntary lighting of matches may have done the mischief. "Wo have often received boxes of matches from the factory , " said P. A. Slinrlz , one of the proprietors of the Fair store , "and It Is not at all uncommon lo discover that some of the beads of the matches have al ready been burned. " MEET GREAT WESTERN CUT.
