now turns out that they were not exactly able to
agree in regard to Mr.. Keller. We called upon
Supervisng-InspectorF ehrenbatch, and were in

inspector returned the report for proper signatures
a week ago. but has not yet received it back. 1t
is said the Wheeling inspectors at loggerheads
with one another on the case, one refusing to
authorize his signature to the paper revokng KEEL
