Everybody has heard OF tho Widow MoNIurray

sion, In resolutions, to tllor opinions as to tho
norita Of late Capt. A1oa1urray, aa a departed
Hollser OF tho Union; md Of his widow aud fam

vidualB stirred themselves III behalf OF the lat
tori, aud lawsuit commentaries tho departed
tilol in tho Circuit Court, OIL change Of venue
from tho Superior Court, wlaore they have lain
sinco February, 1879, without much olao hap
pening them. Before tic death Of Capt.
tain parties to purchase land, and these parties,
by why Of inducing him to 20 to tho front, told
him that they could obtain for him tho post Of
Captain, that he should receive 500 In cash, and
out Of his pay. With thiu uudorstanndlns Ind 'at ho
went to Missouri, whore llc died soon after. The
widows rights being in course Of Investigation,
| it WAS found that tho defendants were III occu-
chased by tho dcceascd. ii this timo tho land
| had doubled in value, and tho widow brought
suit for it's possession, holding TINT parties oc-
eupying it h"d good notice Of tue purchase BY
| prepared to carry out.
Exo1T1yd MITIGATION.
A singular trial is taking place boforo Judge
Rogers, namely, Allan u. Taylor Y: II. J. Publ
man aud D. e. Ruall. Tho action is for the ro-
covery Of the amount Of promissory note Of
$4,000. Tho facts aro nearly nll Of thom in dis
| pute, and It is almost impossible, within tho
| limits Of nowapaper note, to afford any idea Of
the cato TINT will fairly represent all sidos. It is
holder of tho motto In question. and TINT tho de-
fentlants duly executed it to him whilst tho Do
fondants, on tho other hand, deny TINT they ever
executed such noto, and also that they over
! promised to pay such note. a note wns
but not tho one sued upon, md the dofondants
broadly charge TINT nnn1oa lave been forged,
although tlloy do not Indicate tho guilty par
ties. Tho personal feeling that aninates tho
litigants has spread to tho counsel, and an OK
ceedingly poppory time Of it Judge Rogers had,
ruling On tho thousand objections raised on
eithor side. Tho case was not concluded.

and asserted tho supremacy Of iio law with tho
goodly arm Of muscle. Some blood from BIS
| noso dyes the floor Of tho now vault. Those
stnins will remain unscrubbel, sacred to tho
momory Of our fighting Clork, Joo pollals.
Mr.. 3. WAS looking In tho vault for nn index
! wilon tho Clerk desired him to lesst informing
him that lle could not bo allowed thore.
h1r. D. sald he had business there. and should
ren,ain.
Tho Clerk snid ho hadn't and llo shouldn't.
A1r. D. Expressed tho opinion that tho Clerk
| was not tho son Of his 1notler.
Tho Clerk rolled up bis sloeyes, and made ono
step forward. smiling with II cortain grim
hu1nor.
mr. 3. reolslossly continued that he didn't
caro- n d. for tho Clerk, and ho detlod the
Clerk to come on.
There wna a flash, as tho Clerks dowolod hand
cleft the air, aud tho yisage Of one Of the party
