Rev. S. G. Zettner, pastor of tho T.uthc-
ran church, expects his family to arrive
this "wednesday evening from Scranton,
Pa. The high estcom in which MI.
Zettnor is held, not only by his WI con-
grcgation, but by all who come to know
him, is attested by tho handsome present
mado him this week by the visitors from
Charleston and Augusta who arc spend
ing tho summer in Walhalla. During
thoir stay they have had tho pleasure of
attending tho Lutheran church and hear
ing tho new pastor, and desiring to show
their appr' citation in q material way,
they bought n fine COW and made up a
handsome purse, which were presented
to Mr.. IoItner. This token of regard is
highly appreciated by him, because of
tho spirit prompting tho gift, and to all
the kind donors hc returns his sincere
thanks.
On LOST Saturday afternoon quito an
ugly cutting ARRAY occurred between Mr.,
Lawrence Thompson and Mr.. p. Austin
Brown, about four miles from Walhalla,
In The public road leading to their homes.
1t seems that there had becn q previous
difficulty between them, and, on meeting,
Brown renewed it, by cursing and abus-
ing Thompson and daring him to fight.
At last ThoIal son accepted the challenge,
and OH alighting from his buggy and
Brown from his mulo, the formor struck
the latter with n stick. Brown %thoreupon
began rocking Thompson, who kept adj
vancing upon him, and finally Thompson
closed in with Brown and cut him scy6rc-
ly several times in the head, face and
hand with his knife. Brown came back
to town late Saturday evening and Drs.
Bramlctt and Darby dressed his wounds.
On Monday Thompson went before JUS
tice Herndon and obtained q peace war
rant for Brown, who oamo up Tuesday
morning and voluntarily entered into a
bond to keep the peace.

A ROYAL GRANT.
The Claim of Three Colored WO-
men to an immense Cana
dian Estate


men to an immense Cana
dian Estate.
Special Dispatch to the Globe-DemoCrat.
BUFFALO, n. Y, March 0.-In a
suite of coy little rooms over No. 167
Clint ton street live a family of three
colored women, who 1t is claimed, are
the descendants of a royal African
line. March II, 1887, Mrs. Hannah
Lee Atkins died at the remarkable
age of l04 years. She claimed to have
seen Gen. George Washington in
Albany in 1898. According TO the
statements of this family, the father
of Mrs. Atkins was son of TOmbut,
who was king of Guinea. and ruler of
the richest and most powerful and in
telligent of African tribes. and whose
Kingdom extended along the gold
coast, off Cape Sierra Leone, well into
the interior. In 1854 the young prince,
aged 10 years, with a brother, aged S
years, were kidnapped from their ma
tive country by an English slave
hunter. Subsequently the boys were
given to King George Ill, who had
them educated. Both went to Cana
| da and remained there. AS re-
ward for services in the Eng
| lish army, William Lee, as he was
| known, was given a grant OF 1000 acres
of land by King George. The land
granted Lee by the English govern
| ment embraces some of the most val
liable city trac in the section where
IL is located. The grant comprises
four deeds, one involving 900 acres
situated in DrummOndsville, Ont. :;
another. 400 acres in Maiden, Ont,
and the third and fourth, 300 acres in
Chatham, Ont. Harwick at the time
the grant was eXecuted). The entire
1000 acres, it is claimed by the three
daughters, are now worth about
II 300, 600. tits now in possession Of a
number of squatJers who have built
upon it and leased it to numer Gus
others. The money left by Lee at
the time of his death, aside from the
land, amounted to $4,000, which he
wllled in sums of 100000 to each OF
his two daughters, and which is now
and has since been in the hands of
the Canadian Government. The death
of William Lee having occurred some
eighty years ago, the $4,000 which
was left to the mother of the Misses
Field, and which, OF course, reverts to
the latter, must by this time, with ac-
crued interest, amount 10 quitea large
fortune in Itself. Since 1867, three
years alter the death of Emma Fields,
The mother of the living children, the
latter have been cOntesting in the
Canadian courts for this estate, the
first suit having been instituted in
that year and two others since, the
last IN 1885. Ali three suits have
been Intellectual, owing. the prosecut-
ing side asserts, to the tntrigues of
the attorneys for the squatters, they
having succeeded each time in having
the case adjourned. Steps are now
being taken to bring another suit, this
time in the English courts, to recover
the land or its value and damages for
retention.
