CLAIMING ESTATE THAT
REVERTED TO THE STATE.
Allotted Heirs Want to Get Wliat
Bradley Leii.
Asheville, N. C., Nov. 22 Averring
that she is the lawfully adopted
daughter of William L>. Bradley, who
died at Hendersonville, N. C., in 1902,
Mrs. Rosina Bradley Willis of Walth
am, Mass., entered suit in the United
States Circuit here to-day to obtain
possession of all real estate and personal
property of the deceased. The total
amount involved is estimated at be
tween *15,000 to *20,000.
The defendants in the case are Bish
op Homer of Asheville and the trustees
of the Episcopal Church at Henderson
ville, who bought the property from
the state of North Carolina.
Mrs Willis claims that the deceased
entered into a contract with her father
whereby she was the sole beneficiary
of the Bradley will in return for her
father’s renunciation of all claim and
interest in his child.
Previous to Mr. Bradley’s deatlh the
plaintiff, it is alleged, married against
her adopted father’s will and the de
fendants aver that the deceased se
cured a release from the terms of the
contract for the sum of SSOO. The
lands and property in dispute reverted
to the state in the absence of heirs
or devisees, a state law enacted in 1868
making such action possible.
Another claimant for the property is
“J. L. Bradley,” whose real name is
unknown. He also claims to be an
adopted child of W. L. Bradley.
He has a suit pending in
the courts, and he declares that Mrs.
"Willis has no legal claims to the prop
erty. Mrs. Willis makes similar
charges against him.

WERE 500 MEN.
Za&agaw, Manchuria, by Courier to
Mukden, Nov. 22.—The Japanese lost
500 men in the attacks of Nov. 17 and
Nov. 18 and were evidently disheart

19 the Japanese sent out several bat
talions from Double Humped Hill, but
their movements lacked decision. The
Russians opened fire from Poutiloff
(Lone Tree) Hill and a neighboring
eminence. Several shells burst in the
midst of the advancing Japanese col
umns and quickly checked them. The
Japanese also tried a turning operation
at Chanlindza, but there also they were
dispersed.
There was a slight encounter Nov. 20.
Russian scouts penetrated a short dis
tance into the Japanese lines, but with
out much result.
JAPANESE HAVE MORE
AVAILABLE TROOPS.
Mukden, No. 22, 10:22 a m.—Both
armies occupy such strongly fortified
positions that neither appears inclined
to attack unless possessing a prepon
derance of numbers enabling a flank
ing movement.
The Japanese probably have more
available troops. Their superior mo
bility was lately shown toy the ac
tivity of their center.
Both armies seem to receive equal
reinforcements during the same space
of time.

SUTTON’S CASE
WITH THE JURY
QUESTION OF KIDNAPPING
IS TO BE PASSED IPOS AT THIS
TRIAL AT BAINUIUDGE.
Sutton's Counsel Introduced Wit
nesses to Prove I'hat Little Alice
Skelton Had Left Her Home ol
Her Onn Free Will mid Accord,
and Ttint Sutton Was Guilty of no
Improper Conduct Toward Her.
Sealed Verdict May Be Rendered.
Bainbridge. Ga., Nov. 22.—The de
fense opened in the Sutton kidnapping
trial this morning with the introduc
tion of witnesses tending to show that
little Alice Skelton was dissatisfied
with her home and wanted to leave,
and had attempted to leave with the
Robinson shows. Among the witnesses
introduced were Arthur Lofton, a
brother of Mrs. Sutton; Mrs. Russell
of Baker county, to whose home the
Skelton girl was carried by Sutton, and
who told of the little girl’s statement
on arrival that night of her complici
ty in the plot to leave home, and also
Cicero Thompson of Thomasville, who
stated he had heard her express dis
satisfaction with her surroundings and
her educational advantages.
The state introduced evidence In re
buttal to show that the child was fond
of her parents, well treated and hap
py, after which the defendant made
his statement, which was virtually
along the line mentioned above, stat
ing that he had no evil intentions
whatever, and had carried the little
girl away at her own solicitation and
with the best motives in his heart. He
denied any attempt at criminal assault,
and stated the entire plot was prear
ranged with the child and with the
knowledge of his wife.
The case went to the jury at dark,
and after five hours’ deliberation they
have failed to return a verdict. Un
less one is brought In before midnight
it will be sealed and opened upon con
vening of court to-morrow.
It is presumed the case charging
Sutton with the attempted criminal
assault will next be called after a ver
dict on the kidnapping charge.

Cold and Heavy Squalls Hnve
Caused Inconvenience and Disaster.
London, Nov. 22.—Keen frost and
heavy snow squalls are reported from
all parts of the United Kingdom. A
gale raged all night long over the
coasts, driving vessels to shelter and
seriously dislocating the telegraph
wires, especially in the North of Eng
land and In Scotland. Blinding snow
storms are causing deep drifts and
rendering traffic difficult in the coun
try districts and are necessitating a
cessation of outdoor work in many of
the provincial towns.
In London little snow has fallen, hut
a sharp fall in temperature is accentu
ating the distress among the poor,
which is alread prevalent. The snow
is so deep at Chatsworth that the King
of Portugal and others of the house
party there have been prevented from
shooting.
In Westmoreland, the unusual sight
was seen of trains stuck In snow drifts
and blocking communication on the
Northeastern Railroad. The race meet
ing at Warwick had to be postponed,
as the track was deeply covered with
snow.
The life boats are busy, but the
most serious wreck so far reported Is
that of the British steamer Indianic,
which was driven ashore on the rocks
near Sunderland. The life-savers took
off the crew.
A few fatalities have occurred as the
result of wrecks of small craft.

a detective of District Attorney Je
rome’s staff, who secured the evidence
against Richard A. Canfield, was ar
rested to-day by order of District At
torney Jerome on a charge of perjury.

ho made to Philip J. Brilt and Gen.
Benjamin F. Tracy, who are associat
ed as counsel for Canfield and his al
leged manager, David Bucklin. Mr.
Jeromo says Jacobs asked them that
as the price of his confession he be
supplied with sufficient funds by Can
field to take him out of the jurisdiction
of lhe courts. After being arraigned
he made a fuller confession to Mr. Je
rome.
All that Mr. Jerome would say about
the confession is that he (J’acobs) con
fesses that he lied, when he said that
he had been in Canfield’s house, that
he did go as far as the Inner vesti
bule and that he remained there for
some time In order, he says, to deceive
County Detective O’Neill, who swore
at the original hearing that he had
seen Jacobs go Into the house.

This flag is the property of Joseph
McCoonse. It has been handed down
from his great-great-grandfather, Bu
perneau McCoonse. Th* flag was the
one oarrled by Tecumseh In his long
comp&lgn and was taken from his
dead body after the battle of the
Thames. In this campaign there were
allied with Gen. Harrison the Peorlos,
Kaskaskias and Piankushos, three na
tions that once helped rule Canada,
New York and a part of Pennsyl
vania, the fragments of whioh are now
gathered In the Quapaw nation and all
told number fewer than 200.
The night before the great battle a
council was called. A man volunteered
from each of these tribes who took a
solemn oath to kill Tecumseh the next
day. The battle followed and Tecum
seh was killed. His followers attempt
ed to take his body down the river in
a boat that night, but the three watch
ful enemies were too alert and sur
prised the party. They failed to se
cure the body of Tecumseh, but suc
ceeded In getting the flag which was
wrapped around hls body. It was cut
with many bullet and arrow holes.
This flag fell to Superneau McCoonse
and hua been handed down In his fam
ily ever since. The flag Is of flannel
ololh. made after the design of the
British flag of that day. It Is hand
sewed and was made by the squaws of
Tecumseh’s tepee. According to the
Indian legend It was In honor of the
three Indians who volunteered to kill
Tecumseh on that day or die in the at
tempt that the thrtfo arrows appeared
on the Issues of the silver 00l ns after
that date.
