ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 18Th. ]. Black
lidge, of this city, while looking through
some private papers in his safe to-day,
found the long-lost will of the late DR.. j.
w. Westerfield. Ugly rumors were afioat
about its disappearance, and a suit was
pending in court to establish it's alleged pro-
visions. Dr. Westerfield was wealthy, and
was for many years the leading figure in
the Indiana State Spritualist Association.
He beque athed the largest portion of his es-
tate to his sister, Mrs. Eaden The will
had Deen placed in a small box and put in
Mr.. Blackiidge's safe by interested parties
more than year ago. but it seems that all
had forgotten the transaction, and when
search made for the instrument on DR..
Westerfield's death its loss created conster-
nation among the relatives. No one re-
membered where the will had been placed.
1t was given to Judge Mcclure to-day and

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Anderson case reported in the Jour-
nal of this date is similar in most respects
to some other cases pending in different
courts in the State where it is not thought
necessary whenever the court makes a rul-
ing to rush into print with sensational re-
ports. AS facts, the Winegardner case was
not a test case; the German-American
Building Association has not loans to hun.
dreds of people in Anderson Elwood, Alex
andlia and Frankton." The dispatch as
to the associations answer is misleading;
the company did not admit contract that
the stock would pay out in seventy-two
months nor that to cancel the mortgage
would eventually bankrupt or seriously i'm
pair the company" This case has been
pending for over a year and has not been
pushed by plaintiff. The ruling of the Mad
ison county judge has no more significance
than the ruling of a circuit judge in an
adjoining county who has just ruled the
other way. The question is now in the Su-
preme Court on appeal by other associa-
The association has only a limited number
in the Winegardner suit, and they were
taken in the beginning of the association.
The construction given by the Anderson
court is not sustained by decisions in other
States. Rulings in other courts MADE long
before this one have hot received any pub
lie attention, and that this one has is due
to the anmuS of enemies of the association.

bronze are frequently found in Irish

the most remote antiquity.
