Case in Court 22 Years Settled by Judge DeHart.

After lying in the treasury of the state of Indiana for nearly twenty-two years, the estate of Anastatia Gunnip, who died in Lafayette thirty years ago, will be turned over to tbe heirs. Judge DeHart decided tbat the claim of John F. McArdle and others to tbe Gunnip estate was just and true and that the petitioners were entitled to the money left by the decedent. In order to establish their heirship the claimants were obliged to make extensive search and take depositions in 'lreland. : The estate originally consisted ot $1,350, that amount being paid into the clerk of the local court on April 27, 1885, but as a result of litigation " in the eighties to decide where the money should be deposited the amount dwindled to $944.14. This amount was turned over to the treasurer of state in 1890 by order of the Carroll county circuit court to which tribunal the case was taken on change of venue. The order of the court will be certified to the auditor of tbe state, who will issue a warrant on the state treasurer for the $944.14 to be paid to the Gunnip heirs.
