Special to Times-Republican.
Ninton, May 2-One of the most his
toric legal battles ever fought in this
county, has Just been brought to a
close. After nine years of lighting,
which consisted of five trials in the
lower court and four trials in the SUI
mission amounting originally to SLIGO,
has been finally settled. The case con-
tanned many interesting and peculiar
legal features In 1899, T. f. Greenlee,
the plaintiff in the case, lost thousands
of dollars in the big fire that visited
the city of Belle PLANE at that time.
dispute arose between Mr. Greenlee
and the insurance companies, who had
$4,000 insurance with him, and for
which they were liable on account of
the fire. The defendant, j. j. Mosnat,
a local attorney, took the case against
the insurance companies on COM
mission basis and after securing the
insurance from the companies, he de-
Quoted that amount $4,000, which he
claimed to be his commission as
agreed upon, but which, so the plain
tiff claimed was $1,1O0, in excess. and
he started suit to recover the SLIGO.
The plaintiff won in the lower courts
three times, but it was remanded back
to them each time. AT this juncture
the defendant, j. j. Mosnat, died, and
the case was continued against his es-
tate His death caused considerable
embarrassment to the plaintiff, so long
as his testimony would not be ad-
mitted to the records on account of the
death of the other party. The case
against the estate was remanded back
by the supreme court last winter, and
when the case came for another hear
ing in the district court this week, the
Judge instructed verdict for the de-
PENDANT. The costs at this time have
many times exceeded the amount sued
for. 1t is thought that this last YER
dict will settle the matter, altho 1t Is

years in the mercantile business in
Maxwell, and at one time was very
wealthy man. His partner. F. M.

ter, who survives him and is now liv-
ing in Maxwell. Mrs. r. N. Merritt, of

His wife died year ago. There are
no children.
Maxwell arrived in this city Thurs
day evening in company with j. w.

Mt Pleasant, May 1.-THE Mayors
VS.. Mayors case, of New London, has
been on trial here in the district court
ever since last Thursday afternoon,
and bids fair to be continued until
some time the fore part of next

those cases in which family troubles
are being aired. Mrs. Lille Mayors,
wife of T. F. Mayors, is suing her
mother in-law, Mrs. Ella Mayors, for
fections. She claims that her moth
er-in-law did everything within her
power to deprecate her in the mind of
her husband, and that she encouraged
him to beat her and choke her. Mrs.
Lille Mayors is southern girl and
has made a star witness, altho at
times she has broken down with sobs,
especially when she has been testi-
flying concerning her husband beating
her. Hers is indeed a pitiable story,
and has ELECTED considerable interest
She was on the witness stand contin-
uously from Thursday noon until Fri
day evening, testifying in clear,
straightforward way. The court room
is crowded each day both by people
here and from New London, where all
the parties live, and where they are
we'll known and highly respected.
The case is being fought hard every

DR.. Bradforc's treatment is recon-
mended by physicians in their private
practice, and is taken by prominent
doctors themselves, because they rec
ognize in it the greatest and most sue
cessful treatment that science has ever
been able to compound.
Excessive fat or obesity Is disease
that hastens death. Sir Henry Thomp-
son, a famous authority, says:
Not one fat persons in fifty lives to
what Is called old age. The typical man
or woman of eighty or ninety, still re-
tanning a respectable amount Of energy
of mind or body, is lean and spare
How many very old people do you
know who are over fat? Count them
on your fingers and you will find very
few fat people really reach old age
Over-fatness interferes with the action
of the heart and other vital organs.
That is why fat people puff and pant
upon the least exertion, and often die
suddenly from heart failure. kidney
diseases or apoplexy."
Among those who have taken DR..
Bradford's treatment in order to obtain
permanent cure and be reduced to
normal weight and be relieved from
the dangerous condition, superf1uous
fat. are many well-known citizens,
physicians, doctors of law, preachers,
lecturers, authors, military command
ers opera stars, students, dressmakers,
and, in fact, persons in all the various
walks of life.
Dr. Bradford asserts and will prove
that when you have reduced your flesh
to the desired weight you can retain it;
YOU will not become stout again. Your
face and figure will be well shaped.
Your skin will be clear and handsome
and you will feel and look years
younger. Double or under chin. flabby
other disagreeable evidences Of obesity
are rernedied speedily. Dull complex
ion is made clear and healthy, and as
the fat is reduced the skin becomes
close fitting and free from wrinkles;
the flesh becomes firm and solid, and
the muscles regain strength, activity
and vigor.
Address your communication in the
strictest confidence. The doctor OBJ
serves strict professional ethics, and is
very particular on this point. A free trial
treatment will be sent you as a gift;
also his new book on Obesity, which
describes and reveals many secrets re-
gardine, Obesity, its cause and cure. If
you wish free sample treatment and

AS stated, it will be sent you free.
