The case of the West Virginia Transpor-
tation Company vs. SwEETsER, decided BY
the Supreme Court on Saturday is Of gen.
eral interest to our people. 1t decides an
important point to carriers and shippers.
In this case the charter Of the carrier
allowed him to charge thirty-ive cents per
barrel. But there being no competition, he
charged what he pleased. The shipper
paid it and IN due time brought suit to re-
cover the difference. The point was made
that the shipper paid the price willingly.
That however, did not affect the case as the
other side coun eraeted this point by claim
ing there was no alternative, except to ship
by that company or suffer the merchandise
to 90 10 loss. Below is the syllabus:

company more than its legal rates of charge
for the freight Of such oil and does make
such payments from time to time in order
that he may get his oil transported to mar
kst in the only manner in which he could
transport it. through such payments
are made after each shipment of
oil has been made and the oil delivered.
Such persons must be considered as max

by him over the amount which the railroad

A shooting Affray at LauraviIIe.

From the Lire OAK BuLketjn.
On last Monday Mr.. George Breare and
William Pridgeon were in wagon at
Lauraville going for a load OF lumber,
when Niney Dixon and John G. Peacock
came riding up behind them on horses,
armed with dOuble-barreled shOtguns and
ordered them to halt, which they did in
short order. The two men were APP
pHrently under the influence Of
liquor, and said that they wanted some
kind of satisfaction from Prid-
geOn. Breare, VINO had Pridgeon en-
plOyed, used some harsh language at being
thus summary interrupted in his peace
full pursuits, when they forced him, at the
muzzie OF their guns, to get out OF the
wagon, get on his knees, and beg for his
life. They then compelled Pridgeon to do
the same. A few OF the citizens attracted
by the scene had gathered by this time,
and by persuasion had quieted Peacock
and induced him to behave
himself. They managed to get
Breare away, but Dixon, who
was not satisfied with Pridgeon, re-
NAMED with his gun. PridgeOn finally
told him that he was not armed, not even
with pocketknife, but If he Dixon }
would lay down his weapon he would
fight him ''ist and skull" Dixon con-
scented. and laid his gun aside, and in a
few moments Pridgeon had HIM whipped.
When Dixon cried 'enough" Pridgeon
arose from the fight and started TO walk
off. Dixon got up, went TO where his gun
was and deliberately shot Pridgeon, the
shot taking effect In the thigh, side, and
arm. Dixon then mounting his horse rode
away. Az soon as the excitement sub
sided a warrant was issued for his arrest
and placed in the hands Of Rev. Elias
Mills, who was deputized TO serve the
warrant and make the arrest. Before the
posse which had Oeen summoned could
start In pursuit, however, Mr.. Dixon was
seen coming back, still armed with his
gun, and ne rode up within short dis
lance, when Deputy Mills started forward
TO meet him and make the arrest, fol-
lowed by the small crowd. Dixon antici-
pated his intention and ordered him 10
halt, or he would shoot. Mr.. Mills, how
ever, advanced hurriedly, and before he
could bring his gun 20 bear on him had
him by the arm, when Dixon turned his
gun with one hand and fired, missing his
man. Just At this juncture his horse
SHE'D and some one In the posse fired at
him (DixOn), striking him In the back
just under the shoulder with pistol ball.
Dixon is considered dangerously wounded,
and Willie Mills, son Of the gentleman
making the arrest, is under arrest for the
shooting. A preliminary trial will be had
before Judge Phillips On Monday. Pea
