A Wide Sweeping Suit

Some of the older citizens of STANTON
fecollect Col. James Hall, a LAWYER who
a-half century ago had a good deal of
plactlce at the courts which met in Staun-
ton, though he resided in Harrisonburg
"heEe he owned good deal OF real estate.
u popularity in the features of his face
MADE him the better remembered. At his
death he left his property to his wife dur
Ing her life and at her death to certain of
MS aephews and nieces, he having no chill
dren. About year ago, his widow, who
had married DR.. P. B. Dowdall, of Wythe
county, died. Three heirs who had not
already disposed of their interest in the
estate have now brought suit to recover
their share-about three seventies of it.
They reside at Point Pleasant, W. Va,
ana nave retained E. S. Conrad and Col.
hobt. johnson of Harrisonburg as their
counsel. The Harrisonburg esprit of the
Valley" from which we get these facts,
says:
The property in dispute embraces some
OF the best and most valuable property in
Town. The old title deeds of Col Hall de-
scribe the property as beginning at the
southeast corner of John Fl. Fences brick
mouse, now owned by William OFT. at
mat time South Main street was called
Irish street. The claim of Halls heirs
embraces tbs house and lot of DR.. Will
liams, Gen. J. E. Roller, Judge J. T. Har-
ing, Q. A. Sprinkle, Luther III. OFT, Samuel
b. Sterling, Mrs. Picker, and all the prop
erty between South Main street and Ger
man; thence, with Bruce street, to the
Spring Branch, and with the Branch to
the southeast corner of the lanyard prop
erty; thence to the corner of William OFT g
house. In addition to this property, there
IS tract of seYen acres Of land lying on
the west side of German street. This
street was called in 1925 the Great Road,
leading out of Harrisonburg to Staunton,
and what is now Bruce street was then
the most southern alley of Harrisonburg.
The seven acres on the west side OF Ger
man street embrace the dwelling houses Of
DR.. Neff, Philo Bradley, &c., but does not
include the foundry buildings of Mr.. Brad
ley. Fortunately for Mr.. Bradley, the
disputed line passes midway between his
dwelling and the foundry buildings, and
comes in at the south end of his garden,
west of the Warm Springs road. 1t also
embraces some buildings south OF Mr..
Bradley's house. The amount of land in
the town on which so many valuable build
ings are located embraces over % acres,
and is believed to be worth ten to
twelve thousand dollars, exclusive Of the
buildings, and including the buildings. it
would probably be worth from forty to
fifty thousand dollars. There is also a
tract Of land of 100 acres lying southeast
of Harrlsonburg, on the old Port Republic
road. Eighty-siX acres of this tract is
now in the occupancy of Curtis Hile, the
remainder being occupied by Geo. W. Ell
finger.

One of them locked the door as they came

hear to no explanation and a general as
sault was commenced in which the lamp
was broken and the carpet set on nre.-
Thompson was struck on the head with a
stick and laid out senseless and Smith anu
Adams badly beaten. The walters Oh
the hotel hearing the cries of murder, ana
smashing of furniture, broke in the room,
and the clerk of the hotel sent for the police
at once, who came and arrested assailan is.
DIR. McChesney was also sent for, and al
ter some time, restored Thompson to con-
/ ciousness. The greatest confusion and
| alarm was produced in the hotel where a
| number of families board, and the ladies'
| were terrified at the uproar.
The defendants, all of whom testified,
stated that Alex. Lushbaugh had told his
| brother of the beating he had gotten, and
Charles and CroWder went to the hotel to
adjust the difficulty, but Alex, whom
Charles had told to remain behind would
enter, and while Thompson was explain
ing the matter rushed on Thompson ex-
claiming, "this is the man. and then a
general fight followed. Crowder said he
only acted as mediator.
The Mayor fined the accused $40 each
| and bound them over to keep the peace;
but Mr.. I. S. Crawford, the proprietor Of
the hotel, says he intends at once to prose-
| cute all three of them to the extent of the
| law. He is determined he says that no
| such occurrence shall take place in his
| house without every means known to the
law being invoked to punish the perpetra-
tors.
