soul" John said to his sister Clara and

Suit Pending az Years.

In 1860 Jerry Allen and j. N. Humph-
rey sheriffed Ninian Cooper for a tract
OF land in Washington township, and
then paid the costs and continued the
suit. Several times the case was
brought up and each time Allen and
Humphrey would pay the costs and
have it continued. At the May term of
court, 1906, Mr.. Cooper forced them to
trial. As Judge Reed was interested
in the case, Judge White, of Indiana
county, came to Brookville and heard
the case. His decision was in favor OF
Mr.. Cooper. Allen and Humphrey
asked for new trial ana Judge White
refused it, then they appealed to
Supreme Court. The case was argued
at Pittsburg last October and a
decision was given at Philadelphia on
Monday of this week, sustaining the
decision OF the Jefferson county court.
