The Logan Nat. Gas Co.
Wins lis Suit In The. U. $. Circuit
Court Against the Great Southern
Gas Co.


The Great Southern Gas and Oil
Company of West Virginia, last
September file1 a bill of complaint
against The Logan Natural Gas and
Fuel Company, in the United States
Qircuit Court Of Columbus, asking
for restraining order and an In
junction against the latter. The
complainant company claimed that
1t is owner OF certain pipe lines
running through the counties OF
Fairfield. Perry Muskingum and
also Of the oil and gas underlying
certain premises set forth in the
bill. The bill alleges that the de.
fendant company without permiss.
ion, erected a derrick, and began
to drill for oil upon II 154 acre tract
of land of the complainant.
District Judge Thompson before
whom the case was argued, We'd
nesday, handed down an opinion in
which he found the equities with
the defendant, and stated that the
complainant failed to show suf-
ficient cause for action, and there
fore the motion for the temporary
restraining order was overruled.
The hearing of the case on its mer.
its will take place at Columbus
Cincinnati Enquirer.
This question Involves the valid.
ity of the Ewing leases on consi-
derable of territory In the Sugar
Grove gas field, and the decision of
Judge Thompson, is in their favor,
as he holds them good.
The Great Southern seized land
tor which the Logan company held
leases, and kept the Logan people
off with an army of hired men, af.
ter hauling them along the high.
way.
1t has been an expensive effort
on the part OF the Great Southern
people to seize and hold this land,
rs it has already cost the company
in the neighborhood Of $6,0OO.-

Taken To The State Hospital.

On last Thursday Sheriff Brandt
went to Lancaster and brought
back James Flum. a young man of
about thirty years and who was
formerly resident of this county,
his father and sisters still living
out near Ilesboro. Young F'lum
was taken before Probate Judge
Riason on an inquest of lunacy
preferred against him and on the
certificate of DR.. Mansfield the
examining physician he was ORDER
ed taken to the Athens State
Hospital. With the admission Of
this young man to the Hospital,
Hooking county will have used up
herquota we having now thirtyfour
patients there. This is the second
time Mr.. Flum has been confined
in this institution he having
short time ago been released from
a confinement about seven months
duration.
The case is rather pathetic one,
the young man being laboring un-
der the halucination that he is to
come into a large fortune and that
his relatives are trying to take 10
away from him. His mind IS con.
tinually bent on getting justice.
He also wants papers made out
giving him a free pass and is very
much afraid they will not be made
out right. The court and officers
by humoring him in the making
out of imaginary papers had no
trouble with him, he being very
willing to do anything they asked
him to do providing he got his
papers all right. He was taken to
Athens Monday.
LATER-Since writing the above
article we learn that a Mr.. Lama
has just been discharged this leav-
ing a vancancy yet for this county.

The Carrie Stanley Burns
Opera Company Receives Roast From
the Jackson Herald.
Charley Adams is With the Company
and Makes a Hit.

The Carrie Stanley Burns Company
which recently played two nights
stand here is the victim of an un-
merciful roast. probably deserved.
While roasting the company, its
editor also fiLds time to compliment
member of the cast, MrChas Adams,
who is quite we'll known in Logan
and whose rich baritone voice has
been heard and was one of the feat
ures of several of the social gather
ings among the "elite" of our city.
Below we reproduce the Herald
article in full:
The Carrie Stanley Burnes Comp
any which held the boards for three
nights at the Crescent the first part of
the week, contains one gentleman
who, as member of the company's
cast, is as much out of his rightful
sphere of action as college profess
or would be among the inhabitants
of Iululand.
The company is an exceptionally
weak one, but this is explained by
the manager who says that four of
their best people left them a few
days ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burns and the French
man in the Fall of Santiago are the
only members of the cast who could
possibly find an excuse for being on
the stage. The remainder are poor,
superlatively poor. The singing of
Prof. Adams, however is the one
feature of the show which deserves
commendation.
The professor is with the company
to fit himself better for opera in
which he sang for several seasons.
His only weakness in opera, however,
was his inability to act; so this sea-
son he decided, to join a small troop,
take some light part and learn to
act enough to fit him for heavier
work in his chosen profession as an
operatic baritone. So he joined the
Carrie Stanley Burnes Company tax
ing light lines in their repertoire of
plays until he thinks himself fitted
for heavier work.
AT each performance he sings a
solo of the classical kind, his select.
ion usually being taken from some
opera in which he has sung. He
sings Ell CAPTAIN to perfection and at
the opening of the present season he
negotiated with De Wolfe Hopper to
sing with him, in this opera but, on
account of Prof. Adams inability to
act he did not join the company,
Prof. Adams has several friends
in this city and Wednesday night
after the show he accompanied some
of the young men to the Amitie Club
rooms where.he entertained them
with classical solos until midi light,
Prof. Adams formerly occupied the
chair of music at the Marietta col
lege. If he ever returns to this city
he Will surely receive the '.glad
hand" as he is beyond a doubt the
best baritone singer that ever sang
before a Jackson audience.

The Man About Town.

\ season of prosperity ~ on al

for the time being. More coal IL
being moved out Of the Hooking
coal fields ut present than for years
past, an average Of sixteen hes Willy
loa'led toal trains, sinost OF them
double headers, are passing through
Logan every twebfy-fouri hours
each train averaging thirty ears Ia
the train, or six hundred tons OF
coal, q grand total of nearly 10000
tons of coal per twenty-four hours.
This is not the limit Of the output
by any means, the limit Is being
seriously hanpered by the scarcity
Of ears. all the mines are working,
with the exception of the Orbiston
mine, which was closed down with
the resumption of work at the Jobs
mines, and in all probabilities will
not he reopened for some time to
come, ana the outlook at this point
is very gloomy. AT Murray City
the mine is running steady and the
men ure getting more than they
can do. AT Jobs the company are
running both sides and the honest
miners of this mining town are be-
ginning to again wear that familiar
simle of contentment. Coalgate out
put Is above the average. AT Mon
day work is slack but the miners
are seeking and obtaining work al
the Other mines, while the mine al
Sand Run Is working, the output
being limited by the scarcity Of
flats. Every mining town in Hook.
ing County, with the exception OF
Monday, reports good work, some
thing that has not occurred since
previous to the great strike of 1884
when trade was paralyzed all over
the country. This sudden push of
Hooking prosperity looks a little
political, but we hope it is not so,
but will prove good, steady work.
Four new gas companies have
been organized to operate in the
Hooking Valley and Sugar Grove
Gas field, and have issued certifi.
Gates of incorporation by secretary
of State Kinney. While there are
in reality four companies, the in
corporators are identical in each
case as follows: The Crawford

Obituary.

William and Elizabeth (Cline,
| Tritsch was born near Hagerstown
Washington Co. Md, September
24th, 1919, and died in Logan, O.
November llth, 1898, aged 70 years
| month and IS days. 'o
When young he was engaged in
the Woolen Mills with his father
and remained with him till 1916
when he engaged in business for
himself.
In 1850 he emigrated to Ohio and
located in Circleville.
In the ensuing wears at different
times he owned mills in different
parts of the state, but fn' 1851 he
bought the present Logan Woolen
Mills and in 1896 retired from busi.
ness. He was married Sept. 2lst,
lS4l to Miss Harriet Roher of Md,
who died in March 1862. Mr.,
Tritsch leaves 4 children, 8 grand
chic dren and 4great grandchildren
to mourn their loss. Mr., Tritsch
was confirmed in the English
Lutheran church in Md, and when
he came to Logan he attended that
church until it was disbanded, and
then became an attendant at the
Presbyterian church, until the
United Brethren church began
operation in Logan, at its organ:za-
ton he became one of its trustees,
during his term of Office the lot on
which the church now stands was
purchased. He contributed very
literally of his means in the build
ing of the church, and whenever
called on to help by his means in
any of the interests of the church,
he was a willing and liberal giver.
Although not member of the
church, he was one of the most
punctual in attendance. He will
be missed from our congregation,
and MS a church we mourn his de.
parture. 1t had been my privilege
to visit him several times during
the past four years and much of
the earlier history of the church in
this part of the State he could give
me. l also conversed with him in
reference to the future, and he as.
sured me that he was prepared for
the change whenever it might
come. Father Tritsch's name while
not upon any church record, never
theless we cherish the hope that his
name has been recorded i'm the
Lambs Book Of Life. He was a
kind and loving father, an enter
prising citizen, and a faithful men,
ber of his lodge. il
Thus star by star declines,
TIL all are passed away,

To pure and perfect day;
Nor sink those stars in empty night
They hide themselves In heavens own
