set in. Sharp pains would shoot through my

My heart would palpitate rapidly. This would
be followed by a slow, irregular beating and
feeling of dizziness. My nights became rest

"How do you feel now?"
"As well as ever did in my life and owe it all
to the skillful treatment received from DR..
Copeland, under whose personal care 1 have

peared. I am gaining in weight, eat and sleep

GUFFEY WANTS His MONEY.

Suit to Recover M Alleged Fraudulent
Bonus-Thousands Put Down in Dusters-
The Courts Must Decide Ehich One of
Van Bakers Victims Died First.
The low-hung clouds that have lowered
around the house of A. P. Clever, of Robinson
township for several months have burst at
last. j. NJ. Guffey. the extensive petroleum
and natural gas developer, has entered suit
against Clever and another man named Charles
Scarborough in Common Pleas Court No. for
S35, 0O0
The statement of the case is that on August
10. 1885, c. c. Cavener and s. 8. Smith leased
fifty acres of land in Robinson township, on
which oil and gas were to be sought by the plain
tiff. The question of bonus was not settled,
and Mr.. Guffey agreed to pay as much as anyone
else would within stated period. In the state
ment of the case it is claimed that Clever and
Scarborough procured one Peter Gettman to
make an offer of $40, 600 bonus, share of the
struck. This offer, plaintiff alleges, was deceit
fully and fraudulently made to defraud hlp.
defendants knowing that Gettman could not
and would not pay the amount specified. He
SAYS he has discovered this since he paid the
$4,000, and in addition to the $2OOOO, ne has
expended Sl5, 900 in drilling holes in the farm,
and the results, it seems, have been quite
small.
There is much complaint by some farmers
that operators have tied" them up to the
verge of ruin, but Mr.. Clever certainly wasn't
in that class. as the tract leased by Mr.. Guffey
is assessed at not to exceed one-fourth Of the
bonus

MURDERER VAN BAKERS VICTIMS.
The Courts GIust Decide Which One of the
Women Was Killed First.

The Courts GIust Decide Which One of the
Women Was Killed First.
W. G. Stewart, yesterday, applied to Register
Conner for letters of administration to collect
money in this county due the estate Of
Drucilla McWha, of Hancock county, w. Va.
Mrs McWha was one of the victims of Van
Baker who murdered his wife and her mother,
Mrs. McWha, ana is now serving life sentence
for the crime. The amount due the estate by
parties in this county is about $3.50.
The settlement of the estate it is stated, will
likely give rise to dispute in the West Vir-
ginia courts. Mrs. McWha, by her will, left
her whole estate to her daughter, the wife of
Van Baker. Both women were found dead in
the farm house where they were left dead by
their mur 1erer and the question is who died
first? If Mrs. McWha died FIRST Mrs. Van
Baker would inherit under the will and the
estate would in turn go to her heirs at law. in
cluding Van Baker, the murderer and her hus-
band. If Mrs. Van Baker was the first to die
the will would he void and the estate go to the
heirs at law of Mrs. McWha. The murderer is
the only one who can solve the question and
the convicted man is an interested party,
though in prison for life.
