The following. in reg ard to on importan;
Somerset county case tried in the United
st ties Court last week, is taken from the
Pittsburgh Post:
''Ihe case of Richard S. Hardesty against
George ". Pile. Sheriff of Somerset county,
to recover the value of certain rolling stock
of the Somerset & Cambria railroad. which
was sold by the sheriff. was called for trial
Monday in the United States Circuit Court
before Judge Aeheson. Several nice legal
points and $1,000 in money are involved.
The history IA CLEANED from the testimony
taken yesterday. is as follows: In 1870 a
railro-d was built from Somerset to Mineral
Point. A first mortgage for s5o,ooo was
given to pay for the construction, and snbse-
queutly a second mortgage for $4,000 was
given. After the road was finished rolling
stock was leased from the Pennsylvania
railroad and everything progressed favorably
until 1874. when the trustee of the second
mortgage, after notice from George Cobaugh,
a bondholder, sold the road. Gen. A. IL.
Coffrvtn became the purchaser, subject to the
hiot hhtit-aSfs ltN ihS E-AfVc'- III Coiaais
1915 u new company was organized and TOOK
possession of the road. Having no property
or credit as a company they could not pur-
chase rolling stock. but Gen. Coi!roth, NJ. A.
Sanner ana J. II Uhl, as individuals pur-
chased Locomotive, passenger and baggage
car and Two gondolas, and placed them on
the road as their individual property.
Things continued in this shape until 1873,
when Sheriff Pile, at the instance of Isaac
Kaufman, trustee of the first mortgage. sold
the read. Messrs. C.. Long, Judge VIM. NJ.
Hall aud George +. Baer became the pur-
chasers. They organized a company known
As the Somerset aud Cambria Railroad Com
pany. and afterwards sold the road, includ-
ing the individual rolling stock, 10 the Bal
timOre & Ohio Railroad Company for about
S67 500. The rolling stock. however, had
previously been assigned TO Mr.. Hardesty,
who had furnished Sl5, 90 to its purchasers
/ He gave notice to the Sheriff not to sell his
property, and therefore brings suit. 1t is
! stated that the last owners of the road only
paid $40, 600 for the bonds, and that when
tine, sold Ia the Baltimore Il ONO Company

stated that when they learned that Mr.. Har-

moving 1t.
