campment This Year.
Coldwater, Mich, Feb. ia singu-
lar case was brought before the Branch
county circuit court, in chancery, here
recently, involving the sum Of $4,000,
which has some of the elements of
war romance about it. A man by the
name Of William Hopper, Of North
Carolina, alleged by affidavit that he
was wrongfully dispossessed Of $4,000
in gold in 1865 by William Mckinney,
now deceased, and brought suit against
the heirs of Mckinney, who reside in
this county, for the restoration of the
$4,000, and accrued interest, which now
amounts in all to $4,000. He engaged
attorneys to prosecute the case and
petition was made to have the estate
administered.
Complainant Regulates the Case.

nothing of the claim in the case until
the suit was brought, and if they were
obliged to raise the sum of $4,000. II

He further testifies that the allega-
lions in his complaint filed here in the
circuit court were untrue and that he
made the same under false impressions
and because Of Misrepresentation
which he now believes were wholly
false. He releases all claim, by due
form of law, against the defendants
and against the heirs Of Willim Nc
KINNEY, both as to personal property
and real estate or to any estate they
may acquire in the future. The trans
action that induced him to come north
and make such declarations as he did
at first are shrouded in mystery.
