SEVERAL years ago Miss Lena Ham

SEVERAL years ago Miss Lena Hamil-
ton, of Mason, tall and divinely fair
maiden Of some 80 summers, more or
loA, notified James J. Shackleford, a two
times widower, but wealthy, that she
was ready, willing and anxious to per-
form her contract Of marriage with him.
He answered that he had engaged TO
marry her in good faith, but recent de.
velopments convinced him OF his inabil.
ity to marry and that it would be crime
for him to infict fate upon her such as
would result from their union. This did
not satisfy Miss Lena and she brought
suit for $4,000 damages. 1t was tried
and passed upon by the court OF appeals
that Shackleford's plea was valid one,
il true. Even this did not cause Miss
Lena to give up the hope of getting hold
OF that tl5, 900 and she again began liti-
cation on the grounds that the defend
ant was not diseased at all and used that
excuse simply to disappoint her both in
her matrimonial and pecuniary inten-
tons. The second trial of the case has oc.
cupied several days OF the Mason circuit
court and has attracted great crowd OF
people to the courthouse, who are much
in the result.
