Adjustment of Lawsuit Which Has Run
Through the Indiana Courts and Cost
$4,000.

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
LAFAYETTE, Ind, May ia somewhat
remarkable case, which has for several wears
been occupying local atreEtion in this
County, has been satisfactorily adjusted out
tide of the Courtroom. 1t has been the
theme of much newspaper and street talk in
years gone by, and four bitches have been
had In the Courts.
In 1914 Philip Ensminger and his wife
were childless. They had arrived at an age
when the probabilities of children being
born to them were very slight. Residing at
Attica, Fountain County, was sister of
Mrs Ensminger, married to man named
futile: Mrs. futile was the mother of
several little ones. and on the occasion of
visit to Attica Mr.. EnSminger, it was
alleged. became much attached TO a seven
year old daughter of futile, and after some
talk among the parents he proposed to the
Turtles that they relinquish all claim to the
child, give her 10 him and his wife. he stip-
uiating verbally that he would take her,
raise and educate her, and in all things be
would be father to her, at his death she
to receive one-balI of his estate be it Juuch
or little. AT this time Ensminger was a
poor man, but the parents finally consented
and Mary accompanied them to their home
in Lafayette. Here she resided with them
until she grew to womanhooj. She was IN
every way treated as if she was their own
flesh and blood. Meanwhile Ensminger had
prospered in life and had become well-to-do
Among the suit0rs for Mrs Tuttle's hand
was Mr.. James Downs. Toward him the
EDsmiDgers experienced feeling of antag-
onism. They opposed her marriage, though
the only real objection they could urge
against the young man was that physically
he was very small. They were married,
however, ana Mary left ner adopted parents
to share her husbands home Ensminger
never forgave her. When he died. as he did
some years ago. it was found that he had be
queathed his estate and money to his wife
and numerous relatives. but there was moth
ing for Mrs. Dowps she therefore, in 1876,
employed De Witt Wallace, one of our
most prominent attorneys, TO bring suit
against the estate. In her com plant she
set up the alleged contract whereby she
was to receive one half of his estate,
but limited her demand to $4,000
as compensation for services. Daniel
Royse, late Clerk of the Supreme Court
had been appointed executor of the Ems
minger estate. and he decided to resist the
claim. When the cause came to an issue in
our County Court Mrs. Downs received a
verdict for the full amount of her claim
The executor applied for new trial, which
was granted. Elated at his success in the
first round, = plain Wallace amended his

The Rev. DR.. w. N. Miner, of Trenton
New Jersey, relates an anecdote of Abraham
Lincoln which places him among the peace
makers. DIR. Miner was q resident in Spring
field. and gives the narrative in the words Of
another resident: 81 had some trouble with
a neighbor, and determined to go 10
law with him. When got to Lincoln's
office | found my opponent was already
there and had stated his case. I told my
side of the story, and Lincoln then said

Raise Your Own Seed Corr.


The time to plant for this is now, while
the corn crop is going in, OF under Guilt
vatiuu. 1t is a reasonable thing to say that
a tenth may be added to the yield of corn
on any farm by using seed that has been
carefully raised for the purpose. Not much
attention is paid to the selection of seed by
the average farmer. The man who reads
and thinks about the seed used for his crops
selects the best he can find in his crib at
planting time, and finds that this pays. 1t
pays still better to select ears from the field
the fall previous TO planting, from stalks
that bear two or more perfect ears. A better
practice still is To plant corn for seed in a
small patch by itself, and guard it against
all the accidents that must attend its
growth and cultivation in the larger field
The ground should be specially prepared for
TO supply all the WAITS of the
plant. IL should be thoroughly
cultivated every two or three weeks
anil the gain is full In the ear Like pro-
duces like, in corn as in cattle. and the silk
aud the tassel are both factors in eivI g
character TO the ear Though the male a. d
female blossoms in the corn are upon the
same plant, there is no security for self
fertilization when any plant is grown in the
open field. The pollen from a barren stalk
may fall upon the ear grown from selecte d
seed, and this ear may be imperfect, or be a
cob with little or no corn ON it. If the ears
selected for seed have been fertilized by a
nuboin stalk, the nubbin imp peg lection goes
down 70 pOsterity. I'm a small piece of corn
planted remote from other cern we ma
g ard against the accidents OF prOmiscuOas
fertil izatiOn, and secure, as far a. posi- ole,
corn witha good pedigree, and perfect after
its kind. ALI barren stalks Sk0uld be cut
out, and no more stalk be left en- the hill
than will give perfect ears. Ii the owner
will select from this patch the earliest and
best formed ears, for his seeds. and follow up
this practice for few years. me will have a
new variety and large increase in his
yield.

Destroying Tree Growth.


We observe much discussion in some OF
the papers on the various operations of
pruning. cutting back, cutting up and grub
bling cut, in which no distinction is made
between a dormant and growing condition
OF the trees or the shrubs operated on. One
inquirer asks for a method for getting rid OF
sn Usage hedge, set where il is not wanted.
The answer is, cut il off even with the sur
face of the ground. IL done when the hedge
is dormant the result would be a profuse
sprouting up from the stumps roots, but
If performed while in a rapid growing state
severe check would be given. requiring
little repetition OF the operation. For the
same reason, five wish to promote the growth
OF a young hedge, cut it back when not
in leaf; but il making an overgrowth which
requires checking, cut it at midsummer.
Bad mistakes are made by deferrlng the
shortening back of young or newly-trans-
planted trees until the buds have opened. in
doing which such trees as the cherry, which
do not reproduce shoots freely, have been
actually killed by the operation. Remedies
are sometimes prescribed 10 prevent or re-
move The suckers which spring up around
fruit or ornamental trees by digging them
out. If the removal is done early in spring,
before growth hes commenced, there will be
plenty to spring up and take their places;
but in June or July little trouble from new
suckers will be the result, and few repeti-
tons of the work will be needed. We have
before urged the importance OF the distinc-
ton, but many seem slow in receiving and
appreciatng il. On old trees il is less essen
| tial than on Younger ones.
