? - , _ CLAIM FIFTY YEARS OLD. STRANGEST OF ALL LAWSUITS IN CALIFORNIA. Woman .Sues Man's Estate for a Wrong at His Hands Committed Many Years Ago. Lob Angeles, Cal., November 24.? A suit for $20,000 on promissory I notes given by the late Theodore * Bunnell during a fifty year appeal for forgiveness has been started against his estate on behalf of Mrs. '* Melissa Link Funk, of Attica, Ind. A point that will be argued in the trial will be whether or not Mrs. Funk in* "validated the notes by forgiving the jl mA who had injured her half a cen tury ago. The suit was filed yesterday in the ^ s United States circuit court. It asks payment out of Bunnell's $200,000 i estate, mostly lying in Santa Monica, Cal., Colorado Springs, Col., and Grand Junction, Col., which latter UDwn Bunnell founded. Bunnell had been a resident of Santa Monica many years and died a year ago at Colorado Springs at the age of 75 years. He -v never married. Letters and promissory notes all leged to have been signed by Bunnell, : which have been filed, apparently < show that Bunnell, when a young man * in Indiana fifty years ago, attempted to mistreat Mrs. Punk, when Melissa Zink,13 years old. Stricken with remorse during the remainder of his life he wrote many letters to Miss fZink begging forgiveness, and sent her several notes payable from his estate because of the harm he had - done her. The first note is as follows: "Rob Roy, Ind., April 26, 1860?1 promise to pay Melissa Zink, or order . $5,000 for damage did to her in 1859, and for the love and gratitude I bear 1 her pledge my estate for all I am worth the payment of this note after death by the person who settles my estate without cost to the bearer. "ineoaore cuuueu. "My explanation: No one will misconstrue this and blame Miss Zink. She is the most virtuous girl I ever knew. I love her with a pure and divine love and would marry her ? ? If she would marry me. I went to her home in a storm, found her alone, as I thought I would, and I assaulted her. There was a desperate fight between us and she was badly hurt. (x I gave up when she got an ax. She was only 13 or 14 years old at that time. I begged forgiveness. She may tell the rest. She never lies. "Thodore Bunnell." In 1860 Bunnell went West to Col'V orado and for many years lived as a fv- plainsman. He hunted buffalo and conducted a trading store not far from where Grand Junction now V stands. For $3,000 he obtained conjf..; trol of a large tract and made a town site of great value. Letters to Me'x. lissa Zink Funk, to which the name f of T. P. Bunnell is attached, pleaded unceasingly for forgiveness and expressed the keenest suffering in mind and heart. Not satisfied with his continued appeals, the complaint alleges, Bun$ nell made another note of $5,000 in * favor of the plaintiff on January 18, ( V 1870, at Lafayette, Ind. It read as follows: ki-,' "Promise to pay Melissa Funk or >. order $5,000 not to marry John Beveriv. this note to be paid by the ad ministrator of estate after death. ' "Theodore Bunnell." Bunnell died at Colorado Springs K ' while on the way to Indiana. Another ; er, dated at that place five days before death, reads thus: |.v .v./" "Aug. 15/1907. Promise to pay my dear friend, t \ Melissa Z. Funk, or her daughter, or . either of them, or order, $10,000. This note to be paid by the person ; who settles my estate after death without cost to bearer. This note is *r given in love and gratitude as a reps ward to one I did injure so wilfully. "Theodore P. Bunnell." A letter which has been exhibited r **. hy the executor of the estate in California, was sent, it is asserted, about the same time to Melissa Z. Funk and begged her to go to Colorado Springs and grant him forgiveness beV fore he died. But the same day it is said to have reached her she received a telegram announcing his death. In one of these letters, sent from $ .Santa Monica on March 1, 1907, Bun. nell wrote to Mrs. Funk and said he was sick and nervous and realized " '?J ~ ?1 ~ ? V>?.4ra# Hmo trv HvO tnat ne nau vmy Ck U1 ViiUV VV ?* v w? | He offered to send her money to come v to California if she would consent to . leave her home in Indiana. She evi^ dently refused to come, for another letter, under date of July 23, told her he was about to start east and told ; v her his plan to stop at Colorado Springs on account of his enfeebled condition. He expressed love for her and told her he wanted her to be "happy for the rest of her life. Killing at Barnwell. 4 Barnwell, November 28.?Shooting from the dark, and hidden by the deep shadows cast* by the blazing > lights of the carnival now in progress f in Barnwell, Perry Ussery was killed here tonight by an unknown assassin. Hi? lHiiine is a mystery, and no mo ? * tive has been assigned as Ussery was perfectly peacable party. He lived near Barnwell and had come to town to enjoy the pleasures of the carnival. The shooting occurred about 10:30 o'clock to-night, and the streets were well filled with people. Consequently the affair attracted much attention, $ and many drew their revolvers and | | fired into the shadows that concealed j j the skulking coward. In the melee fTown Marshal Burts was shot in the leg, and Marvin Hollen was wounded in the neck. Both men are supposed to have been wounded by the shots I-V fired by the indignant people of the city. Ussery's body was removed and an * inquest will be held, but it seems at ' this time that little will develop, alf \ though every effort will be made to discover the identity of the man who fired the'fatal load of buckshot that j* -sent Ussery to his death. BREAKING UP BLIND TIGERS. Aiken Officers Make Big Hani Near Merritt's Bridge. Aiken, November 26.?Vigilant efforts are being made by the constabulary officers of this county in an effort to break up the blind tigers that are alleged to infest the Edisto river swamps. The officers, Cato, Samuels and D. H. Wallace, returned to the city yesterday from Merritt's bridge, where they made a successful haul, bringing with them a large copper still that appeared to be new. Sunday night the officers paid a visit to the vicinity and found a quantity of "mash," but the still was conspicuously absent. They calculated that if things were left undisturbed the "mash" would be made into blind tiger about Tuesday afternoon, that being the time it would require before the mash would be sufficiently soured to be used. Tuesday afternoon they were on the scene. They found that their calculations as to time were correct, hut thev were just a few hours too early to catch the bunch at work. They found the still, a new copper apparatus, all in readiness, and the "mash" in "first-class condition," and all other appurtenances ready for stilling, but the operation had not actually commenced. Yesterday morning the same officers made another raid in the same vicinity as the one above related. This raid was made at a sawmill about four miles from Merritt's bridge. They did not find a still at this point, but found an empty furnace where a still had recently been taken from, apparently very hurriedly. Five barrels of mash were destroyed. "UNCONVERTED" MAN. Wants to Bring Suit Against the Government for $24,000. Washington, November 27.?If Joseph Burgess, of Washington, should succeed in what he thought he was trying to do when he walked into police court yesterday morning, he would establish a precedent, which would bankrupt the nation in about thirty minutes. Burgess claimed that he wanted to file suit against the government for $24,000, because he was an "unconverted" man. If he succeeded, possibly there are some folks who would seek to have themselves turned out of the church so as to become eligible for similar bounty from a generous government. "Let me show you how I bring this suit within the written law," explained Burgess to Detective Barbee. "In the first place, only the 'unconverted' come within the limits of the statute. The average age of persons under the writteh law is seventy years. I am thirty-six. Basing my claim on this theory, I figure that I lose $500 a year, which makes the government owe me $24,000" Burgess says that he is a machinist, and that his home is in West Orange, N. J. He says he came to Washington about a week ago to file his suit. "Do you ever drink?" one of the detectives asked the machinist. "Well sometimes I do drink a little," admitted Burgess. "Which do you prefer, beer or whiskey?" "I love them both," replied the "unconverted" man. "Give me either one that's handy." After allowing the man to file his "suit," the detectives locked him up on a charge of insanity. ENDS HIS LIFE. Well Known Sumter Man Commts Suicide by Shooting. Sumter, November 27.?The citizens of Sumter were shocked early this morning by the discovery that Mr. W. A. Mcllwaine had taken his own life yesterday by shooting himself in the mouth in a small house at the rear of O'Donnell & Co.'s store. Mr. Mcllwaine had been missing from his home since 10 o'clock yesterday morning. He acted in a queer manner before leaving home. He left his watch and keys at home and took his revolver with him. No trace of the missing man could be had and suicide was feared, as he had been very despondent of late over his continued ill health. This morning his body was found. Mr. William A. Mcllwaine was born and reared in Sumter county and was one of Sumter's most highly respected and dear citizens and he was among the last who would have been suspicioned of taking his own life. He was 49 years of age. He was in the employ of O'Donnell & Co. for years and was one of their most poputey and trust ed men in their dry goods department. He "was a man of affable disposition and courteous address and had hundreds of friends who were pained and shocked at his untimely and tragic death. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Fannie McKagen of Sumter, and one child. Deceased was a very consistent Christian and a church man; regular in his habits and sober and refined and cultured and a man of high in| tegrity. ! Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as tney cauuui reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Mr. Morris, pastor of the Milford Methodist church, was shot and slightly wounded in the leg by E. E. Taylor, as the minister was leaving his church, Milford is a town without railroad, telegraph or telephone communication. Details are meagre. Taylor fired five times, but only one shot took effect, striking him in the leg. According to the information received at Newton, Morris boarded at the home of Taylor, who married a Miss Hudgins, of near Milford, and Taylor charged Morris with attempted assault onr Mrs Taylor. Taylor AAi.nfr ohnnt a VdOT muveu imu wc wumj huvuv ? j??. ago. After the shooting Taylor was kept in custody at Milford until a warrant could be issued and served by Sheriff Perry, who lodged the prisoner in jail at Newton. Taylor has also sworn out a warrant charging Morris with attempted assault on Mrs. Taylor. j MOONSHINERS CAPTURED. Deputies Make Daring Raid in Alabama. Anniston, Ala., November 28.? The famous home of moonshine whiskey in the Turkey Haven mountains of Alabama was conquered, at least for the present, by United States revenue officers when to-day they brought to jail here Jim Floyd, for a decade the leader of the Floyd gang, and eight alleged members of his band. Five bullet wounds in Floyd's body attested to a desperate all-night fight with the alleged moonshiners. Floyd had boasted that he would not be taken alive and he was captured only after loss of blood had dimmed his eye and made his grip on his revolver unsteady. Two nervy deputies made all the captures. They were Internal Rev? ? a rrani- Vnmr Snntt anil f!hief Den ilUU Ag^UV A1.UVA k/vwv ? uty Marshal Ashley and they laid their plans crahily last night when about to begin battle. They concentrated their apparently forlorn hope upon the leader of the band, Jim Floyd, and when his companions saw him lying prone at the officers' mercy they fled, ther fighting spirit gone. The two officers believed that Floyd and some of his companions were in the home of Bob Allen and shortly after dark they attacked this house. During the shooting Floyd appeared at a window and was shot as he attempted to jump through it. Three of Floyd's band in the house then gave up the fight and the officers started on a night roundup of the others. Fearless of the bullets which sped at them and by good luck escaping even the slightest scratch, the pair captured one after another of the band, only one man, keeper of an alleged still, getting away. The still of this man was destroyed. The price of the semi-weekly News and Courier will be raised after February 1st. Better renew your subscription. i!W. P.
