deal Districts.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December IA.
Congressman Anderson introduced
in the House to day Il bill of great
interest to lawyers and litagants in
United States Courts in West Vir.
GINA. The object of the bill is to
create the Southern Judicial Dis

the State shall compose the Northern
judicial district of West Virginia
The courts in the Northern district

follows: At Huntington, on the 10Th
of January and June; at BluefieId,

rare gifts Of affability that endeared
him to all with whom he came in

In public life he was regarded as
an aggressive and fearless leader, and
his sturdy and effective powers were
