Down to the reign of Henry VIII,

relative to an article concerning a
law suit between Ninian Cooper, of this

reys, Of BeechwOods, which appeared
in THE STAR three weeks ago. The
communication is very sarcastic and
rather lengthy for publication. In sub
stance Mr.. Allen says: w. N. and J.
M. Humphrey were plaintiffs and Ninian
Cooper, defendant. Jerry Allen and
J. M. Humphrey never sheriffed Ninian
Cooper. They were not interested In
the property in dispute for 25 years
after the date mentioned, 1860, in the
article. They never paid the costs nor
had the case continued. Mr.. Cooper
never forced them to trial, but rather
evaded it to the extent of Offering a sum
Of money for the settlement Of the case
Mr.. Allen claims In his communication
that Ninian Cooper wrote the article
which appeared In The STAR. Mr.
Cooper did not write the article in ques
tion, nor did he even dictate it, but he
did furnish what he claimed to be the
facts contained In the article.
