Wm. T. Cundiff. of Texas, obtained a judgment in the federal court here [Indianapolis, IN] today for $10,000 damages. Three years ago Cundiff lived near Columbia. Ky.. and for some reason was unpopular. One night twenty of his neighbors came to his house to carry out a threat previously made to flog him. He met them with a shotgun, and killed Tarlton Bradshaw, one of their number. Soon after he moved to Texas. In 1889 he was brought back upon an indictment for the murder of Bradshaw, but was acquitted. His trial cost him heavily, and he at once began suit to recover. His judgment is against well-to-do citizens near Columbia, Kentucky. -Page 1 — The Indianapolis journal 14
