IN COURT SEvENTY-EIGHTY YEARS
A Kentucky Suit Which Has Cost
Nearly $1,OOO,OOO.

Nearly $1,OOO,OOO.
The term of the circuit court of Fay
cite county, Kent tueky, which has Just
closed at Lexington, disposed of one of
the oldest suits pending in Kentucky,
and one of more than ordinary interest,
which has been in the courts since
1911. says the Springfield Republican.
1t is known as that OF Wickliffe's 8 exec
uJors against Breckinridge's heirs. The
case has been to the court of appeals
several times, and ut last, after cosuing
in the neighborhood of mil
lion dollars, it has been decided
in favor OF the heirs o: John
Breckinridge. The suit was originally
based upon an alleged contract made
between John Lee, on the one part, and
John BreclSinridge and George Nicho-
las on the other part, dated August 6,
1885, where Lee sold to Nicholas and
BrecKinridge one-half of tract of land
in Clark county, KY, con tanning over
5000 acres for the sum of $50 100 acres.
Henry Clay was mixed in the case orig
inally. The original claim out of which
this claim arose amounted to only
about s., 700, but the amount of land in
volved. the presant value on account of
the rich iron deposits aud the natural
tendency of litigants to fight as
long as possible. have combined to keep
this case on the docket these many
years. The record is very yoluminous,
and many of the papers in the case are
curiositles, dating back to the founda-
tiOn OF the commonwealth.
