OLD SANTA
May be a Little Previous, but
He is Welcome.

At Least Courtney, LOwrie & McDer-
mott think sO--They Win Very I'm
portant Oil Suit Before the Supreme
Court-Cox & Baker We're their At
torneys-$50, 900 Involved.
Cox and Baker have a large and
growing legal business and have
been having some very important
decisions made in their favor lately.
Noneof these have been more pleasing
than the one just made at Charles
ton by the Supreme Court The
amount involved was over $4,000
and this is the second time that it
has been before the court Courtney.
Lowrie & McDermott were one of
the interested parties and the South
Penn Oil Co. was the other. The
case went up from Tyler county.
The South Penn held a lease I'M
der a deed made by a committee
made without authority of court.
They had three producing wells on
the lease. Courtney, Lowrie & Me
Dermott obtained a subsequent lease
under the authority of the court.
They at once began to put down
wells and were enjoined by their riv-
ais. The circuit court of Tyler dis
solved the injunction and the case
was carried to the Supreme court.
That tribunal decided it in the same
way and the suit was then fought on
it's merits The result was the de
feat for the plaintiffs in the lower
court and another appeal which also
resulted in frost for them A tel
egram was received just after dinner
by Cox and Baker telling them that
their clients had won.
The amount involved is very hard
to compute but it is very large.
There are five wells on the lease,
three of these were drilled by the
South Penn who lose everything that
they put in them,
These wells are all producing. Be
sides there is 4, 600 barrels of oil in
the pipe lines awaiting the decision.
Every thing goes with lit. A conserv-
alive estimate puts the value of the
property at not far from $50, 900 with
a chance that time will make itworth
still more.
Ex-Governor A. B. Fleming and U.
n. Arnett were the counsel for the
plaintiff and Cox and Baker success
fully championed the defendants.

How subscription was Applied.

Some time ago Mr. Trowbridge, of
Beechurst, through sickness was
placed in very needy position A
number of subscription papers were
started for the purpose of raising
enough money to tide him over his
difficulty. Among the people who
volunteered to help by circulating a
paper was Altrey Carrico. He raised
quite nice sum and was thanked
by the wife of the sick man in a
card to this paper. A short time
after the money had been turned
over to Mrs. Trowbridge she in some
way become suspicious and began
an investigation in which she was
aided by Rev Cameron. The result
of the investigation has not been to
place Carrico in very pleasing light.
1t was found that he kept back one
third Of the money raised for the
sick man This fact he acknowledged
after close examination by Rev.
Cameron and the further interesting
fact came out. He made the state
ment that he had always made it
practice to keep one third of the
money raised on t; subscription cir
culated by him to pay him for his
trouble. Those Of the community
who may not wish that large part
Of their contributions to go in that
way will hereafter be shy of any sub
scription which may be taken by
the same man.

KICKERS COME HIGH.
But 1t Seems We Are Bound to Have
Them.

To the Editor Of the New DOMINION:
The bridge which crosses Decker's
creek to South Morgantown is a
county bridge. 1t was built by the
county; it has been maintained by
the county; it was paid for by the
county; is controlled by the county;
it is for the benefit of the county !;
and is in every other respect a eoun-
ty bridge
Therefore, when new bridge is
required in the same place for the
same general purpose it ought to be
put there by the county and paid
for by the county
There is no justice or propriety in
making the town pay the principal
part of the cost There is no justice
or propriety in taxing the town for
its share of the cost, and then taxing
the town exclusively for one half
more Of the total cost.
The only reason advanced for tax
ing the town for from one half to
three-fourths of the total cost, is
that they propose to alter the plan
of the bridge so as to allow an under
grade crossing for a railroad. But
is the town alone interested in this?
Are not the people of the county,
who use the bridge almost exclu-
sively interested in safe crossing?
Is not the county under as much OBJ
legations to see that the bridge is a
modern, convenient structure as the
town is?
The bottom fact is that the coun-
ty ought to build that bridge as the
conditions demand, and pay the bill.
If the town is willing to $4,000
in a bridge, let us put it where it
will do the most good. Let the coun-
ty build its own bridge where and
how it will, and let the town build a
bridge where it will be of most ben
eft to the town. Let the town con
tribute $4,000 TO a bridge at the end
of Main street or at the end of Nc
Lanes alley, and bridge will COUP
at one of those points which will
open up large scope Of building
territory that will be Of immense adj
vantage in extending the town.
The bridge at the present site is
