FAMOUS CASE SETTLED.

Claim of R. 8. Boberton to Salary a* Lieutenant Governor of Indiana Settled. A. G. Smith, the present Democratic Attorney General, Saturday, compromised the suit of R. S. Robertson, of FL Wayne, who claimed the salary as LieutenantGovernor for the time the office was said to be unlawfully held by Smith in the session of 1887. The suit has been hanging fire ever since. Attorney General Smith denies that the compromise is a confession that he was in the wrong in assuming the position he did at that time, and states that the real plaintiff was Benjamin Harrison. To close the matter up, Mr. Smith says, he made an offer of 8500 to pay Harrison’s attorney fees in the case, and it was accpted and the entire matter is at an end.
