OYSTER LEASES GO OVER
The County ComuAssioners Continue
the Thunderbolt Cases.

The County COMMISSIONERS Continue
the Thunderbolt Cases.
Yesterday afternoons session of the
county commissioners lasted until 7:15
o'clock. Commissioners Walker, Read,
Smart, Meinhard and EstilI, the entire
board, and County Attorney Saussy and
Clerk J. r. Dillon were present.
The commissioner room was crowded
with litigants, lawyers and witnesses, who
we're interested in the oyster question, and
the proceedings were quite lively at times.
Tllunderbolt was well represented by its
white and colored citizens. The oystermen
were on hand in their best bib
and tucker" and fully alive to the
questions at issue. The cases were
the applications Of Paul Decker. Alexander
and William Fawcett and Joseph Perlinski
for oyster leases on Wilmington river (com-
monty known as Thunderbolt river between
Williamson's creek and Herb river, and the
cavcators were M. J. Desvergers, ]. 8.
Desvergers and others, who asked for leases
for the same grounds.
A number of witnesses were examined
and cross-examined by the attorneys and
commissioners and it was apparently be-
coming nice question In the minds
OF the commissioners as to who
were the rightful claimants. Fortunately
that the grounds in dispute were natural
oyster beds; that they had dredged oysters
in them for years, and thought it wrong
that they should be deprived of that privi-
ledge. This testimony was revelation to
the board and placed different aspect on
the case, because, under the law, such beds
are not subject to lease, but are reserved to
the public.
On motion Of Commissioner Estill it was

formation as to the status Of the oyster
grounds in question.

The application of A. N. Winkler for O
license to sell liquor at Monteith, to which
there has been a very strong opposition,
was refused on the ground that it was not
in accordance with the law, which requires
that the ten nearest residents shall indorse
the application.
keeps a shop five miles from the city on the
Augusta road, for license to sell liquor was
granted.
Commissioner Read was authorized to
employ physicians to vaccinate people in
the country districts.
The question of opening Bay street, which
is rather mixed, owing to the change in the
limits of the city, was discussed. The COM
missioners were willing to act, but they
could see no way to do 80 without the CO.
operation of the city.
There was some discussion in regard to
the proposed Isle of Hope road, and the
county engineer was requested to extend
the survey TO the Parkersburg road. The
county attorney stated Ia this connection
that be had prepared the necessary papers
for the rights of way.

Masonic hall. There are sixty-four entries.
The tournament will be conducted under
strict checker rules, and competent judges
will be selected to see that they are en-
forced.
The winner of the tournament will receive

prizes will be awarded on ladies' night,
April IA, with an address by DR.. SLIDER
man.
The association boasts OF some finished
checker players, and there has been no
branch of amusement that has attracted
more attention among its members than the
checker tables.
The attendance in the hall during the last
two months has more than trebled, and
many friendly games nave been INDUCED in.
1t Is impossible TO name the probable win
ner, as there are sixteen out of the sixty-two
who are so evenly matched as to make it an
absolute uncertainty.
After the match the contestants will be
classed according to their merits. The as
ISOLATION believes it has both chess and
checker team capable Of competing with
any amateur team in the state.
A chess tournament is also being dis
cussed and will probably be arranged soon.
