WOMAN TO GET SlO,7Ss
Miss Daniels Given That Sum
BY Commissioner Colston.
SUED ESTATE OF D. M. sRAFfeR
Case Will Now Go Before the Circuit
Court For Review Is Very
Interesting Suit.

Commissioner w. b, Coltson, who
has for several months past been en-
gagged IN securing evidence III the
suit of Miss Rebecca Daniels against
the estate Of the late ID. NJ. ShaiTer.
in which the plaintiff asks settle
ment on contract which shs alleges
existed between her and the deced-
ent, today filed his report with Clerk
Gerhart, of the Circuit court. Miss
Daniels is awarded the sum of $40, TS9
by Commissioner Colston, this being
the amount which, in his judgement.
she is entitled to under the provisions
in the contract.
This suit has been pending for some
time, and is the outgrowth of an eff.
fort on the part Of the plaintiff TO
secure the fulfillment of the contract
under which She became horsekeeper
for MIR. Shaifer 90 years before his
death. Mr.. Shaifer was an uncle OF
Miss Daniels, and in her complaint
the plaintiff states that she gave up
her position as a school teacher to
become an inmate of the household
OF her uncle, where she was TO act as
his housekeeper and take care Of him.
She states that she was to be full
partner in the net proceeds Of the
farm on which she aud the deeedent
made their home. and that if she sur
vived her uncle, he was to make suit
able provision for her comfortable
maintenance until her own death.
She also stated that up to the time of
her uncle ssdeath, % wears after the
contract was entered into, she had
received but about 81, 900 as her share
of the proceeds Of the farm. and that
no provision whatever was made for
her future maintenance.
This suit has proved most interest
ing one. and Commissioners Colston
has devoted many DAYS Of anxious toll
to uuraveliDg its tangled skein. 1t
was an extremely difficult matter to
get at basis of calculation, but a rea-
scnable estimate of the probable
amountsdue the plaintiff was finally
reached ty the commissioner. The
case will now be revived by Judge
Faulkner, and the defense will have
the right OF appeal from his decision
to higher court. The judgement Of
Commissioners Colston will have some
thing of the effect of verdict by a
jury on the court, but of course is sub
ject to revision by the higher coart.
Mr.. Shaffer left nm estate estimated
to be worth about $4,000 of this,
S33, 600 Is in real estate located in
Berkeley county and So, 600 in per.
soual property. There ara also two
farms in-.Kansas. the probable value
of which is not given.
