The petition of Jacob Kunkle to have B. F.
Myers removed as guardian of Catherine Kun
kle, his wife. which is being heard by the jury in
the Circuit Court, is attracting considerable at
tention. MIR. and Mrs. Kunkle are both quite

small farm they own in Franklin township and
according to the husbands story cot along we'll
until two years ago. when b. IT, Myers q brother
of his wife. instituted proceedings to have her
declared of unsound mind. aud a guardian ap-
pointed to take charge of the land, which vest
ed in her name. The suit successful and
Myers was appointed the guardian. Mr. Knnkle
alleges thatev since Myers assumed the guar
diauship the land has been decreasing in value
through bad management, and he asks that his
wife be declared of sound mind, and Mr.. Myers
discharged from his trust. The suit has created
some i'll feeling in the family, and besides a large
number OF relatives there host of neigh

Gouth's Companion
Many incidents are narrated OF
weasAPs attacking, savagely biting
and even killing human beings. But
squirrels are regarded IS more timid
and harmless animals, yet the follow
ing anecdote illustrates that they,
under certain circumstances, may be-
come formidable antagonists. Colo
mel j.. L. Culbertson, OF EdwardsDort,
Ind, tells it as q story OF his expe-
rienGe about the year 1854, the time
OF the great mi ration Of squirrels
from the East to the West.
He was a young man then, and one
day took has rifle and went about q
mile from town to hunt. He was go.
ing through the woods when he met
the army OF squirrels. They became
SO. thick around him and seemed so
fearless that he stood in amusement.
Finally ne struck one with q stick.
The squirrel uttered q sharp squeal,
and instantly myriads OF squirrels
from all directions rushed to the de.
tense Of their associate and attacked
Mr.. Culbertson, who kicked them of
and clubbed them with his gun. They
climbed up his legs. Jumped upon his
back and on top Of his head.
He fought desperately, but the
more he succeeded in hurting the
louder the chattering and screaming
around him became. which only
brought greater numbers of the infu.
rated little animals to the attack.
They bit his legs and arms andgashed
his face and neck and hands. They
bit him through the ears, and held on
until they actually tore their hold
loose.
He GOT out Of the woods and still
scores followed him and chung to him
until they were pulled of by the clerk
and others in a store into which
young Cnlberston rushed Tor assist
ance. Some Of the friends who
helped to pull Of the squirrels. and
who saw him come into town literally
beset with them, still reside in Ed.

His friends washed his wounds and
staid the flow OF blood which trickled
down his legs and gushed from his
face and neck, and with coed care and
attention he slowly recovered

and every man was listening intently
to catch the first suspicious sound
when all of q sudden there was a ter
rible crash, followed by shouts and
shrieks. There was another crash,
more shouts, and then a splash in the
water as if an iceberg had rolled over.
In a minute or two we got a swell
which lifted the brig like a cork and
kept her dancing for three or four
minutes. When it subsIded the Cap
tain and mate agreed it had been
| caused by a whale preaching. Both
had sailed in whaling ships, and they
asserted that nothing else could have
caused the CommOtiOn.
From midniLht until dawn every
man stood at his post. When day
light came we saw a pirate brig about
two miles off. Between the two
vessels was q lot OF wreck stuff, which
the captains glass madeo out to be the
shattered remnants Of several small
boats. Only four men could be OBJ
served aboard the brig, and as the
Captain was watching them they got
into a fight. One was killed, one ran
below, and the two men left on deck
got a white cloth from the cabin and
sent it aIott in place Of a flag.
ON about half an hour we got the
wind and ran down to her and lower
ed a boat and went abroad. ! went
in the boat, and followed the mate on
deck, where we were welcomed by two
men who spoke English. 1t was q
queer case, as you will agree. One Of
Iha VyNp,, y,o q ,D E,,rlirIy,nn Ahn sNl,
survivor OF an English vessel wrecked
on the Barbary coast five years be-
fore. The other was an American,
who had deserted his ship at the Cape
Verde Islands three years previously,
and while making a voyage in a coast
er had been captured and spared by
the vessel he was now on. The dead
man and the one below were native
Algerines, as were most Of the briggs
crew. On the previous night,
when the wind went down,
they got out their boat and towed the
brig about a mile. The entire crew,
with the exception OF the four men,
then armed themselves, and the boats
set off to attack us. What followed
could be pretty safely guessed at. The
four boats were in company when the
whale struck at least one of them as
he came up. He must have thrown
this boat many feet into the air. He
might have fallen upon the others or
shattered them with q rap of his
flukes, but that he destroyed them the
evidence was before us. Not q man
had escaped, and, instead of being
captured and made to walk the plank,
as we had reason to expect, we had
turned about and captured the pratt
cal craft without firing a shot. She
was a fine prize, l can tell you, hav.
ing $780, 600 worth OF plumber aboard,
besides being a better vessel than our.
own. We carried her down to Sierra
Leone, where she was delivered yer
and passed upon, and every one OF us
got a comfortable lump of prize mon
ey from the adventure. She was an
English brig which had been captured
FIVE years before under Cape Blanco,
and recorded as lost in a gale"
