Watch for our big special Lace Curtain Sale.

In 1867 there came from West Virginia to northern Henry county a young man named Henry Clay Morris. He was a bachelor, an ex -Confederate soldier, was 34 years old and possessed some means. He engaged for a decade or so in mercantile pursuits and saved his money so carefully that by 1877 he owned 240 acres of terra firma and had money out on interest. About that time he began making his home with Zimri Reeder, young married man to whom his bachelor fancy had turned, and who lived on a rented farm adjoining the 240 acre tract. He continued his home with Reeder and his constantly

augmented family till 1884, when

the man of the house died, leaving

the widow twenty six years old and

the mother of five children, the eldest

teven years and the youngest one month old. Still the friend of the

late husband continued to reside with

the family whose home had been his

Not long after thejdeath of Reeder, who had owned a farm as well as renting

one, and who had left the widow

fairly well provided for besides in the

way of children, Morris made

a proposition to her like this: If

you will remain single, let me make my home In your house, make a home

for me and take care of me while I i live, I'll give you all my property, which consists of 200 acres of land and about $8,000 to $10,000 of money on interest." (It is necessary to explain here that in the meantime the widow had purchased 40 of Clay's broadest acres, and was about to build a house thereon.) The j'oung widow accepted this proposition, went ahead and built her new house and the strange partnership began. And now ye ladies who are worked to death with two Dorcas society meetings per week and superintending the hired girl, prepare to know what labor is: This woman took care of her five little children, washing, ironing, mending, sewing, nursing, baking, spanking and all,

besides which light task she helped

pick and burn brush, saw wood, feed the large herds of stock, make rail

road ties, make hay, hoe corn, cut and husk ditto, milk, cook for hired hands taking the practical superintendency and leadership of the entire

work on both farms her own and

that of her protege. The latter felt it his duty, evidently, to see that she earned the estate he had promised her. He would acquire a burden of drunkenness whenever opportunity

onerea, ana when in that condition he would "throw up things" to the young widow substantial

mings that demanded tbe aeiioe of

a broom and a scrub rag; he would

get her up at all hours of the night

to do these unwholesome duties or

to brew him acupof coffee; she would have to cook him meals at any and all hours of the day or night; she

wouia remove his muddy boots from his feet after he had gone to bed with

them on when in a state of alcoholic

Eickle; she would cut his meat for im at the table, would feed him like

a child, would treat him as she would have treated an insane or an incompetent father, whenevei the cranky bachelor had or feigned any illness. Besides, she had to wash, mend, iron and clean up after this man, whose personal habits were not exactly fastidious. Usually he chewed whole jaw-fulls of tobacco, whose liquid extract he squirted like a baboock over beds, carpets, rugs or anything else that lay in the same direction as his nose when his facial flush-tank was ready to give up its charge. In 1877 she removed to the tollgate just north of New Castle on the Muncie and Summitville pike. She and her family remained there one year and Mr. Morris lived with them. He went back with them to the farm in 1888. He treated the children as his own, and was kind in his way. The widow and children of his dead friend, all industrious and

hustling, continued to assume the

work on that big tract of land com

prising the two farms. Mrs. Reeder even took Mr. Morris's personal check

at ms request, went to Muncie

cashed the check, brought home tbe

money and paid the hands.

He was given a decent burial from

the home of Mrs. Reeder, being interred beside the form of Zimri

Reeder, at his own request.

Aside from his verbal promise, tes

tified to by numerous witnesses, Mr. Morris had made no beauesta.

It had been anticipated that he would make a wilL but he did not. When

he died his relatives from West Vir- i

gima and Pennsylvania came to claim

his estate. These relatives had never

visited him in all his thirty-two years' residence in Indiana, and he had told

Mrs. Reeder they had not treated

him right when he was younger and that he did not wish them to inherit

his property. He had not for

was no doubt a memorable one for Mr. Morris. (This was brought out in the evidence. Many a case has

been won or lost by a mere scratch.)

The relatives are making ahaxl

fight to retain the old gentleman's

property, and the widow is making a

determined stand for her alleged

rights. The case was filed here a good many months ago. The widow asks $15,000, and many a witness says the care of the man as she cared for him was worth $20 per week. The case is a peculiarly interesting one in the way the old man clung to the young woman as the weak child to the strong mother; the patience with which Mrs. Reeder stuck to her

distasteful charge, and the form of

contract under which They lived. What the woman endured that was

disgusting to her in all those years

renders her a heroine with sufficient

practical business instinct to endure

even more that she might not go unrewarded for what she had already undergone. The administrator of the estate, Joseph Swearingen of au Claire, Wis., is here in attendance at the trial, which will perhaps end today and go to a most iutelligent jury.

Speculations as to the result appear

to favor the plaintiff. The trial has lasted almost one week, before Judge W. O. Barnard of Henry circuit court. (The foregoing ' is the story as brought out by the plaintiff.
