DENVER, Colo., August 6.—The last chapter in the contest over the will of the late W. W. E. D. Stokes of New York was written here yesterday when County Judge Luxford signed the agreement reached between Stokes' widow, Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes of Denver, and W. E. D. Stokes, jr., his son and beneficiary under the will. The agreement provides that 12,000 shares in the Kessto Corporation, valued at approximately $1,500,000, be held in trust by Mrs. Stokes as guardian for her two children, James, 11, and Helen Muriel, 10, until they hecome of age. g An additional stipulation, providing for the payment of $175,000 in attor- ney’s fees to Samuel W.

With the Denver judge's signature the agreement becomes effective, Surrogate James Foley having ap- proved it in New York last week. “TEDDY” BEAN DIES.

HOMESTEAD, Fla., August Three men rode out of Florida’s Ever- glades yesterday in pursuit of seven Federal prohibition agents who were returning to Miami after a series of liquor raids, and in the pitched battle that followed all three lost thelr lives. |- Long known as a holdout for rum runners, ~ bootleggers and outlaw gange, the low-lying swamps and wide plains of saw grass which make up the, lower peninsula have presented an impenetrable barrier against inter ference by the law. In the last two vears the illegal liquor traffic has gained a firm hold in the Everglades. “Hummocks,” or small high and dry tracts, within the swamp have proven ideal spots for se- cret stills. Destroyed Three Stills. Yesterday seven Federal prohibition agents came upon three stills near the Cape Sable road, which runs from Homestead through Royal Palm Park and south to the tip of the peninsula. The stills were desiroyed and the officers started for Homestead and Miami in two automobiles, when a third automobile, carrying three men, supposedly bootleggers, turned into the main road from one of the nu- merous uncharted trails leading into the swamps. The men, who were arterward iden- tified as M. P. Merritt, Clyde Parrish and J. A. Brinson, all of Homestead, opened fire on the officers and in the resultant battle all three were killed. Was Former Constable. Merritt was formerly constable of the sixth district, embracing Home- stead, and was recently removed from office by Gov. John W. Martin. Parrish was the son of a former Homestead policeman. It was in this section of the Ever- glades that the notorious Ashley gang, which for years preyed on small banks along the lower east coast, made its retreat and attracted to its ranks outlaws from all sections of the State. All attempts by officers to penetrate the swamps were fruitless, and only when surrounded on an open road was the ga.ng exlermlnuted SASKATCHEWAN PEOPLE ARE NEARLY ALL FARMERS 37,896,320 Acres Produce 75 Per Cent of Canada’s Wheat, J. G. Gardiner Says. By the Associated Press. % REGINA, Saskatchewan, August 6. —Saskatchewan 1s the biggest farm in the world, in the belief of Hon. J. G. Gardiner, “farmer premier.” Sev- enty-five per cent!of the province's population lives in' rural areas, while the other 25 per cent, composed of city dwellers, is dependent on farming for its prosperity. “There aré 118,426 farms in Saskat- chewan with an aggregate acreage of 87,896,320 acres,” said Mr. Gardiner. “Average size of farms is 320 acres, and average area under crop Is 200 acres per farm. (ross agricultural wealth of the province Is $1,682,478,- 000. ‘While Saskatchewan produces about 75 per cent of Canada’s wheat crop, the farmers also go in exten- sively for diversified agriculture.” BABY MAKES PROGRESS. Infant Lives Despite Fact Heart Is on Right Side. McCOOK, Nebr., August 6 (#).— Physicians who this week discovered that the heart of a 4-month-old baby is on the right side of his body are interested in the apparent hea.lth!llb ness of the child. Despite the ract that medical hl& tory revealed that only in rare cases do persons live when born with this condition, several physicians believe the haby has an excellent chance to survive.

He had taken work in the first place in the factory at Blankville because it paid well; he was no more in love with the town than Katie herself, but being busy at work all day long he hadn't the time to concentrate on despising it as she did. To her it seemed as if she could see nothing but sand, sand, sand! “I'll not take care, 1' mean it!" her voice rising. All right,” he gmwlod “‘you rneln it!

She heard him clumsily working around the kitchen cooking his own coffee and eggs and bitter thoughts filled her. He didn’t care, that was it, didn't care that if he had a son—God bless It'—it must be born in this forsaken place. No, what's more, every day he risked his life at the factory. careless that he might never see his own baby! All for the money that no one might live to want. The door slammed on her tears. Dan had gone to work without look- ing in to say good-by. Katie pulled herself out of bed, dressed feverishly and staggered out to the kitchen. ~Had she not felt so 1l, so bitter, she would have been touched at Dan's clumsy ef- forts to clean up—and, yes, he had set a place at the table for her, and had two eggs laid out for her to cook, and the coffee, simmering on the back ‘of the stove. But she steeled herself. No, he couldn't get around her that way. She’d go—she'd leave for the city. She'd given him warning. Now she'd 0. A sudden terrific thunderclap that shook the house and broke the kitchen window pane and threw her against the wall might have been fate's own answer to her black mood. At first she was thrown into a daze, not real- Izing what it could mean. Thunder— No! Then came the sickening realiza- tion. The powder factory! What she had feared had happened at last! Katie rushed to the door and the curtain l&;he broken window flut- tered in above the lighted gas stove ominously closé to the flame. The ugly row_of houses, all allké, that lined the road had all similarly spumed out thefr occupants. Wom- en, disheveled and distraught, had run ot of doors and were asking each other, frightened, dry-eyed: “What is 1t?” A half-grown boy ran down the road. “The fact'ry!” he yelled. “The fact'ry! An explosion! Men killed—" Every one now was run- ning, Katie . with them;- a little, scared group, horror-stricken, for the lives of their men had been snuffed out—and she had quarreled with Dan, her dear, good-natured Dan! Already when they arrived at the gray inclosure to the factory a cor- don of guards were drawn around it to keep out the excited women. All one wing of the factory had been destroyed and Katie learned it was the left wing .where Dan worked. The gragy November sky blotted out New Address—612 13th St. ( Bet. F and G Sts.
