Supreme Court Of Appeals, West Va
November %, 1899.
AN OFFICERS RETURN ON JUDI
GAL PROCESS CANNOT BE CON-
TRADICTED AS TO FACTS RE-
QUIRED TO BE STATED THERE
IN; BUT A RETURN ON NOTICES,
NOT JUDICIAL PROCESS, MAY BE
CONTRADICTED.
The point decided appears from the
opinion Of the court.
The court says:
relief; that is, that the return of the
sheriff shows that he served the pro-
cess on McClung by delivering 1t to
Vonie Shaver, as member OF his
family, and at his usual place of abode.
whereas in fact she was not a member
of his family, and the place or service
was not at his usual place of abode.
Thus. the proposition is to deny the
facts stated In the sheriff's return. In
many States this can be done, but In
this State a sheriff's return on process
emanating from the courts Judicial
process) cannot be contradicted by
parties or privies in its statement of
such facts as the law requires him to
Gtate to make the return good. The
party must, for reDaration of his in
jury, look to an action against the
sheriff on his bond for false return
This may seem hard, but public policy
requires for stability OF judicial pro-
ceedings. that the return of the sworn
officer stand. 1t is a long established
rule with us, and based on sound prin-
ciples and policy. Its reason. drawn
from the United States Supreme Court.
is ably defended In Preston V. Kin
drick. 81 Va. 760, refusing relief in
equity against a decree by default
where relief was asked on the ground
OF false return. f. COS. This doctrine
does not apply to notices to take de-
positions, or other notices given by
parties. nor TO returns by private par
ties. remark, too. that. where n
suitor colludes with the officer to make
a false return, 1t is not conclusive.
That Is the exercise of Jurisdiction to
annul Judgment for fraud.
Another reason against the decree is
that. IT there were any relief for the
cause stated. 1t was by writ of error
Tor the refusal of a new trial; but there
was no relief at law or in equity MS
the same rule that the return is con-
elusive prevails in both courts. We re-
verse the decree. dissolve the iniunc-
tion and dismiss the bill.

The Whiteman Gusher.

The greatest surprise of the past
week was the transforming of three
months old producer to a gusher of
the first magnitude. This was the
South Penn Oil Co.'S Whiteman farm
we'll, located in the Wallace district,
Harrison county, w. Va, and about
three-fourths of a mile east from the
Doddridge county line. On several
occasions attention has been called to
the test venture, as it has displayed
wonderful staying qualities, and being
located in distinctively new territory,
looked like the forerunrer of pool of
Importance. The Whiteman farm
we'll was drilled into the Gordon sand
over three months ago and when the
drill entered the pay streak the re-
sponse was for the first twenty-four
hours over five hundred barrels. 1t
settled down in few days to four
hundred barrel day gait, which has
ever since been maitained. In the
early part of the week it was cleaned
out and drilled trllle deeper. To the
great surprise of the owners the well
began ficwing at tremendous rate
and the following twentyfour hours
put almost 5000 barrels in the tanks.
Since then its production has declined
10 seventy-fve barrels an hour and is
holding at this figure at this writing

Into the great silent city the peo-

their wreaths and masses of sweet

the tiny guide-posts of death revealed
the last resting place of the hero.
