HARRY CRAWFORD AFTER A BIG STAKE.

Indianapolis Jqurtial. Harry Crawford, the well known railroad attorney, has made his appearance in new quarters, and has filed a suit in the United States Court, at Louisville, against-the estate of the late E. D. Standiford, claiming that the estate is indebted to him in-the sum of $175,000. The bill is a long one, containing twenty paragraphs, in which Mr. Crawford goes on to relate that, in 1881, in oirder to prevent the Chicago & Atlantic Railroad Company from obtaining judgment against the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad Company, he transferred to Standiford 1,175 shares of stock; that Standiford afterward acknowledged his indebtedness and promised to settle; that afterward he died intestate in this city, and left personal property in the hands of R. 8. Yeach, which was insufficient to pay the claim. He says that the deceased (Standiford) left enough real estate to pay the same, and he now sues all the heirs of deceased to make Tits bill, and asks that an order be made preventing the, heirs of deceased from disposing of the property until his claim is satisfied.
