Years Litigation Ends in ViC-
tory for Land Owners

After twelve years of litigation the
question of title to something over three
thousand acres of land the south end
of the county, was practically settled last
Friday, when the Curt of Appeals by un-
animous concurrence found and decreed
for the defendants in the action of Joseph
Motion and York Ryal, for themselves and
others, against Gerhard Kessens and 9TH
ers, better known as the famous Ran
dolph slave cases. The costs were as
sessed to the plaintiffs and a motion for
new trial overruled
The case was begun twelve years ago.
when Joseph Motion, York Ryal and others
filed in Common Pleas Court in this coun-
ty 81 separate actions against as many
different well-to-do farmers Of Marion.
Granville. Franklin, Butler and jefferson
townships. contesting their right ad title
to the farms which they had purchased
and improved The action involves about
3200 acres of the finest farm land in Mer-
Ger county. and the case is one of the
most important, as well as one OF the
most interesting civil cases ever tried in
the state.
The case dates back to the Civil War
period and was made very difficult to un-

will Of John Randolph and many valu-

the burning of the Capitol building at the
evacuation of Richmond and the burning
of the court house at Petersburg, Virgin
ia in 1864.
John Randolph, of Roanoke an eccen-
tc Nirginian died in that state May "a,
1888. He drew his own win in 1928 and
added thereafter two codicils, one in 1890
an another in 1882. His will was contest
ed by heirs, and was in the hands of the
State Court of Virginia, at the time of the
destruction of the Capitol of Virginia, in
1864.
Randolph was at one time attorney gen
eral of the United States and was reputed
go be the wealthest man living in the
United States during this time.
His vii Is very lengthy and full of many
interesting facts. He bequeathed his Ii
brary to John Marshall at that tine Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, and part of his estate to Francis
Banner.
He named Judge William Leigh as his
executor, bequeathed absolute freedom to
all his slaves, some three hundred in
number and set aside large sum of
money for his executor William Leigh to
transport the slaves to some other part
of the United States and purchase land
on which they might settle. Here began
the case which has just been settled by
the Court of Appeals.

Hut Washington Still Demands
Word AS TO CarrRnzA's Attitude
Towards Pershlng's Force.

WASHINGTON. June 2s.-An immed-
late break between the United States and
the de facto government Of Mexico was
averted Dy compliance with the American
demand for the release Of the 23 troopers
captured in the fight at Carrizal.
Whether a state Of war has been avert
ed or merely postponed no one here would
attempt to say tonight Official informa-
tin as to the attitude OF General Carran-
20 was lacking. Until his response to
Secretary Lansing's note dispatched sun
day. making two pre- emptory and distinct
demands. is received here there viii be
no decision on whether President Wilson
shall lay tn crisis before Congress-
News of the release Of the prisoners
received here early toright in press dis
patches, brought undisguised relief to
high officials. II was accepted as correct
although no announcement had come
through official sources. Moreover it was
assumed that Carranza. impressed with

the captured cavalrymen started for the
border without waiting for his announce
ment of his action to reach Washington.
TENSION is LEssENED
While it is general conceded that this
move lessons tension and makes a crisis
less imminent. no one conversant with
the grave problem is losing sight OF the
fact that the all important question of
Caranza attitude toward the expedition
across the border to protect the terri
tory and citizens of the United States
from bandit outrages remains unsettled.
If the de facto government stands upon
the orders to General Trevino to attack
General Pershings men when they move
otherwise than toward the border, the |
situation actually is just what It was be-
fore except that there now is a possibil- |
lty of diplomatic negotiation that did not |
exist while the Americans were he'd pris- |
oners at Chihuahua.
The preparations Of the United States |
for war viii go steadily forward. There |
will be no interruption of the rush of Ma
tional Guardsmen to the border and Cen
eral Funston will continue disposing of |
the forces under this command as though |
he expected an immediate attack from |

THIRTY-NINE
Years Ago Saw Initial Meeting of
Veterans of Old Seventy
First o. WI.
[Wapakoneta Daily News. ]

Thirty nine years ago in the fall of 1877
the survivors of the Second Brigade, Srd
division of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
Fourth Army Corps, held their fifth an
nual reunion i'm WapaFoneta, at the old
court house, with Col G.. W. Andrews Of
Wapakoneta as president and George A
Blocher of Miami county as secretary
The attendance on that occasion was
large but death has deciminated the
ranks of the soldier of 1875 until today
the number is small. Fifty six were reg
istered at the reunion in Cena last year.
The first annual reunion was held in the
fall of the year 1873 at Troy. The second
one was held at Dayton at the Soldiers
Home, the third also at Dayton, the
fourth in Troy, the fifth in Wapak in 1877.
Very little or no record was maintained
of the reunion, Secetay Lee states until
the NINTH when M. Lees brother was ell
ected secretary.
These men on whose shoulders the
weight of more than fifty years since
the close of the civil war sits heavily for
the most part, saw plenty of fighting ser
vice. They were at the evacuation by the
rebels of Columbus KY. were at Shiloh
and participated in the string events at
that point. They did guard duty at Car
thage and other points in Tennessee, in
the Atlanta campaign, at Franklin, Nash
vile ad many other points. After the
close of the Civil War these men and
their comrades We're sent to Texas to
assist in the guarding of Texas against
the invasion of Macmillan and his Mexf-
can troops, the Mexican leader endeavor-
ing to make Texas a part of the Southern
empire.
Now, more than nifty years later, Uncle
Sans boys, many Of them sons and
grandsons of the boys of 1875 are doing
guard duty on the Mexican border to re-
sist attempts at invasion by Villa or Car
rama men.
While the veterans were in session in
the assembly room at the court house,
on Thursday morning, the members of
the Women's Relief Corps of Wapakoneta
were engaged in the basement at G. A.
r. hadquartrs in preparing dinner for
the visitors
The routine business of the assembly
was then taken up, after the reading OF
the minutes by tn secretary. Comrades
Amos North, OF Pleasant HILL Jacob Fike
of st. Marys, Cyrus Iogue of Fletcher,
Elisha Martz of Rockford and Abraham
Fast, of Celina, were appointed a COM

and to report on place for holding the
