Subject: COURT NEWS: McMillen vs Butler  KY Maysville Eagle Oct. 27, 1887, 
Mason Co.

Typed as printed in the Maysville Eagle, October 27,
1887 - Maysville, Mason Co., Kentucky

The case of McMillen against Butler, which has been
pending in the Circuit Court for several years, was
tried this week, the jury rendering a verdict in favor
of the Plaintiff.  It is a case of more than ordinary
interest, involving the question of title to real
estate by adverse possession.  The facts were about as
follows:

Benjamin Clark died in 1816 owning a considerable body
of land in Mason and Fleming counties which was, after
his death, divided amongst his children, sis in
number.  After this division was made his son-in-law,
Dr. A. F. McMillen who then resided in Harrison
County, sold, by title bond, the portion of land that
had been allotted to his wife, Mary McMillen, to
Walter Lacy., who had also married one of the
daughters of Clarke.  The title bond was dated
February 28, 1817, and immediately thereafter Lacy
took possession under it and he and his children and
grandchildren have held possession of it ever since. 
No deed was however, ever made to him, as his wife in
whom the title was died in 1819, before the purchase
money had been all paid.

In 1881 John L. McMillen, a son of Dr. McMillen,
brought a suit against Andrew Butler and others for
about thirty-five acres of this land.  Butler was
holding it at the time as tenant of Walter Whitaker
and his sister, Mrs. Frances Snyder, both of Boone
County, Ky. and both grandchildren of Walter Lacy. 
These two were the real parties defending the suit.
their defense to McMillen's claim was the
long-continued possession of the land by themselves
and those from who they claimed which commenced in
1817 and has continued to the present, a period of
seventy years.  Mr. McMillen claimed that his right to
recover the land was not barred by limitation, on the
ground that as long as Dr. McMillen lived his vendee
had a right to the possession of the land and that the
right of the heirs of Mary McMillen did not accrue
until after the termination of that outstanding life
estate.

The case was tried during the present week, as was
stated above, in our Circuit Court, the trial
commencing on Monday and terminating on Wednesday, by
a verdict in favor of plaintiff, McMillen.  Wadsworth
and Son and Wall and Worthington represented the
plaintiff, and Cochran and Son and James Barbour were
attorneys for the defendants.

EXCERPTS
Here is said to be a certain, safe and speedy cure for cabbage worms,
cucumber and tomato bugs, and all such pests: Two quarts of coal tar are
put into an open vessel, which is set in the bottom of a barrel, and the
barrel is fillled with water. In forty-eight hours the water is impregnated
with the odor of tar, although the tar is not dissolved in it. The water is
then sprinkled abundantly on the plants and the odor penetrates every
portion of the plant, killing or driving away the worm. As the water
evaporates no stains or odor remains on the plants.Excerpt.

The grand jury will have no more important duty than looking up those who
are responsible for the condition of our roads. The reason is that the "
New Era" is a failure without roads. The business of the country,
increasing as it is daily, can not be done with the roads as they are. The
condition of our roads is an incubus on our prosperity. If these men will
stand by their paths there will be a forward movement in road making. Will
they do it?

J.H. Wardroper, representing Lexington Roller Mills, C.W. Miliken,
representing Thos. J. Duncan & Co., and R.H. Bryan, of Lexington, came over
from the depot Thursday night.

The severe wind and hail storms the past week in Ohio and portions of
Kentucky, did considerable damage to fruit and vegetables. In some places
in Ohio the hail stones were as large as hen's eggs.

Some women at Peger's Station, Ind., disguised as men, went to a house of
bad repute which had long been a nuisance and taking out the inmates gave
them a severe whipping.

The Illinois Legislature has refused to pass a bill making eight hours a
day's work in that state.
