Huntington Herald.
Several weeks ago the Herald
published an article detailing an
account of the Haptonstall estate
in Shelby and other counties in
Kentucky in which the Knapp
heirs, of Mason and Putnam ooun.
ties, this State, claim to be deeply
interested.
It will be remembered that
Squire Thomas Fisher, of Mason
county, had just returned from
SheIbyville, KY, and had q copy
of the Haptonstall will providing
for the distribution of a vast es-
tate, but share of which the
Knapp heirs had never yet reoeiv-
ed. Mr.. Fisher stated that the
outlook for recovering their rights
we're very hettering and the an
nouncement was made that legal
proceedings would soon follow.
Yesterday George Thornton, of
tlis city, stated to the Herald that
ho had been advised by Squire
Fisher to proceed to employ ooun-
Sci with instructions for suit to be
instituted as early as possible.
This Mr.. Thornton stated that he
would do, and he further stated
that n number of lawyers were anx-
ious to take hold of the case, be.
lieving that the claim of the
Knapp's was we'll founded.
Since it is announced that suit
will be entered, the outcome will
be anxiously awaited.
