The celebrated Junker case, that has been hanging fire through several terms of court, has been decided at last. Jacob Junker was married to his second wife in 1867. In 1869 he bought a piece of property and deeded it to his dead wife, Mary Junker, instead of the living one, Adaline. The family was at peace then, and there was no cause for complaint, as the second wife thought the title of the property was in her name. A few years ago Mrs. Junker discovered that she did not own the property, and war was declared. The fight has been going on in the courts ever since. Mrs. Junker was the victor and will gain possession of the property, as the jury decided that there is no law for deeding property to a dead person.
