received in Benwood. 1t is generally
supposed that man can not be held
in ieopardv twice for the same oilense

and accepted theory of justice ana Id"
was decidedly overruleG by local IN
cident before the courts on MonoaE'

hitting assault and battery upon the
nerson of Eugene Housman. The Mayor
fined Storm So and costs. After TINS
penalty was imposed Storm was arrest
cd and brought before 'SQr'r3 Riddle

are past understanding.

sent a force of men who promptly re-
moved the Terminals tracks. The end
