Following is a brief recital of facts leading up the the Mrs.

Jane Banister died last April lenving 60 acres of laiul to each of her sons, Joseph and George, and $5 in money to her other children. This was not satisfactory to the latter take the i uests llfld called.

Flammant is Mineola's well known merchant and druggist and had no difficulty whatever in getting the affidavits necessary to secure the permit. The case against Mr. C. E. Irwiu, the Henderson druggist, whicli has been hanging fire for some time, was dismissed.

Mr. Irwin was chaiged with selling liquor illegally but there was not a particle of evidence to substantiate the charge and on motion of the county attorney the suit was dismissed. Chas. Wright alias Adams, the supposed Malvern bank robber, was released this week, the grand jury failing to return an indictment against him.

E. Brneu and James Bone have been appointed ap- i praisers to determine the value of the land while Messrs. A. S. Paul, J.

J. Ewing and James Boileau have been appointed referees to make the sale, The referees have baen placed under $40,000 bond to insure faithful performance of duty. Of course this latter proceeding in this case was wholly unnecessary but a precautionary measure of some kind is always required by law and tho rule had to be observed ia this instance. The most interesting case perhaps that has yet been tried at this term of court was that of C. M.

Jones, guardian, vs Vic Peterson. The facts of the case briefly stated are these: Charlie Peterson, brother of the defendant, went insane about six years ago and since his insanity and for some time before Vie has had the use of an 80 acra farm belonging to him (Charlie). Some time ago the lattor's guardian, C. M. Jones, brought suit against Vic to compel an accounting and to recover the sum of $2000 which he claimed was due the estate for the use of the land.
