WILL NOT SELL THE cow.
The City Dads Went Up Agin' IT When
They Arrested Tom Eynns' Cow.

A case which has excited q great
deal OF amusement and considerable
interest has just been decided BY
Justice of the Peace, Hayes.
/ 1t appears that the Officers of the
Corporation in defiance of notice
duly given went on and tore down
the fences surrounding a. piece Of
the old grave yard owned by the
Presbyterian Church, but which is
also claimed by Thomas r. Evans,
under lease Dir. Evans has had
possession of it for many years and
has been using it as pasture for
his COW. Some time ago the Trus-
tees OF the Presbyterian Church
leased it to the Corporation for a
dump. In spite OF repeated warn
ings the Corporation went ahead
using it and finally decided that
they would show their authority by
the demolition of the fences and
clearing OF the ground. In due
course of time they did this, with
the result that the harmless and
valuable bovine which belonged to
Mr.. Evans went wandering at her
own sweet will, slipping dew where
e'er she would. until she ran afonl
of the police, who promptly executed
their duty and placed her in dur
ance vile, with the keeper of the
pound, until her owner should pay
Tho on,o Of 0I ok a.. a.. So. H.
ing her on the streets. Otherwise
she should be sold to pay the fine
and expenses. But the owner oil the
COW did not see things in this light
and promptly engaged Frazer &
Frazer as his attorneys 20 prevent
the Corporation from charging him
fine for the result of their own
wrongful acts. The attorneys there
upon after giving notice brought an
action in detinue and after the ex-
animation of many witnesses and
the production Of % surprise in the
form of written lease from the
trustees of the church, who had all
along denied Mr.. Evans right to
the ground, the decision has been
rendered by the Justice that the
town cannot keep the cow in dur
ance vile nor sell her, but must re-
turn the COW and pay the costs.
1t is now a question whether the
Town Council will see the error of
their way or rush into further dan
ger with a chance of finally develop.
ing case that may rival the en-
balmed beef cases Of the govern
ment.

what they could to secure the prize
and show their appreciation of their
pastor.
The chalice is for the use of the
church and the proceeds 20 to the
fund for the the new church to be

TWO CENTS
THE BANKRUPTCY Law.
Prent Doliiser Il Still Opposed to Il
and Asserts His Belief through
Leslie's Weekly.

/ Little thought, probably, is given
TO the bankruptcy law of the United
States except by those who, either by
necessity or desire, have occasion to
avail themselves OF It's advantages.
Congressman Jonathan r. Dolliver,
OF the Tenth Iowa district, however,
evidently regards the subject as
worthy OF some attention, for in an
article in Leslie's Weekly he denounc.
es the law as an ally OF fraud and de-
elares that there never was In the
United States any popular demand
for a bankrupt law, except after times
Of commercial disaster, and then only
for the purpose OF settling upon their
feet the victims Of panic and misfor-
tune, by relieving them OF their old
Indebtedness Whether even such a.
thing as that ought To be done Is an
open question in which probably the
weight, If not OF authority, at least
Iof human sympathy, is with those
who bear the hopeless burden OF bebt.
There have been four bankrupt
laws enacted by congress lin 1900,
1871, 1851 and (the present Iaw) 1898.
Neither the act OF 1900 nor the act of
1911 was designed TO live more than
five years and neither of them was NJ
lowed 10 reach its legal limit OF time.
The law Of 1900, modelled after the
English statutes In force at that time
introduced a system Of compulsory
bankruptcy. applicable to merchants
and traders only, by which falling
debtors might be brought into the
courts on complaint OF their creditors.
In every subsequent law, including
the present one, provision has also
been made for voluntary bankruptcy,
applicable Co the whole community.
by which anybody can go into court,
place his assets, is he has any, at its
disposal and obtain discharge from
his debts The present law. therefore,
carries with IL all the objections
which lie against the system OF COM
pulsory bankruptcy, and In addition
to them the still weightier objections
which lie against the policy OF invit.
Ing men to wipe out their indebted
ness at their own convenience by
decree Of the court.
In the debate which ended ia the
repeal Of the act of 1900, Mr.. Hast
ings, Of Massachusetts, stated the
case against the law In a single SEM
tence. He said: s'If n shall be con-
tinued, | hope the title OF 1t will be
changed, and that instead OF sAn.act
for the establishment Of uniform,
system of bankruptcy it will be call
ed an act for the establishment ola
uniform system OF fraud throughout
the United States.
The present law has already exhib-
Tied the same results, says Mr.. Dolli- :
ver. 1t has added little or nothing
to the security o. creditors, while It.
has already flied the courts of the
United States with an atmosphere OF
fraud and perjury.

HARD LUCK FOR PROF. ERR.
Plates Destroyed by Fire In Uniontown.
Will Not Interfere With His Engage
ment Here.

The News STANDARD tells of an ae
cident to Prof Erf's plates in that
city that might have resulted ser.
iously. 1t says:
The second attempt to shoF his
moving pictures was more unfortu
nate than the first. At the close oil
his interesting Boer- Briton lecture
Tuesday night the burning out OF
the fuse prevented the exhibition
of the pictures Prof. Err then de
cided to remain over Wednesday
night and give the pictures free to
those who had bought tickets for
the lecture. But just as the exhi-
bition was about to begin Wednes
day evening, candle that was held
too close to the apparatus ignited
the filament of celluloid containing
the pictures. 1t plazed up and
burned the canvass and part of the
filament, and for time looked
threatening for the safety of the
church. People began to rush for
the doors and there was excitement
and crush for few minutes but j.
Fred Seamon, Arthur E. Smith and
Prof Err fought the blaze to a swift
finish and checked its spread. A
chandelier was pulled down, win
dow broken and several places in the
carpet singed, but no further dam
age resulted. Several children were
squeezed in the rush at the door but
not seriously hurt.
The fire alarm sounded but when
the fire department arrived they
found no fire.
Prof Err telegraphed at once to
New York for plates to take the
place of those destroyed, and viii be
ready to resume operations prompt
ly and fill his engagements.

they would do better work. L.
Ralphsnyder, secretary Of the board
of Grant district gave $500 in prizes
last year, Who will emulate bis gen.
erosity next year? | VIII conclude
this article by saying that the whole
aim OF all concerned in the work of
educating the youth of our country,
should be to help its people to live.
The school can do no better thing
than to teach The children To hate
wrong living aud TO appreciate the
value OF personal graces, ana to strive
for them. The awakening Of this
desire for personal correctness, and
right living is worth more TO the
child than any amount of knowledge
getting. Beyond price is the teacher
with the power TO quicken this desire.

THE WOODEN MILL


On Thursday evening about 4
o'clock small fire occurred in the
Monongahela Textile Co.'S mill on
Beechurst. The fire started in one
of the machines while all were in
motion. Every one denies knowledge
of its origin. 1t may have been
caused by friction, spontaneous com
bustion or some matter that got in
to the machine. The man at the
machine turned the hose on at once
and put it out about as suddenly as
it began. The loss on stock was
figured at Sl06 yesterday evening
but the damage to the machine can
not be determined until the repairs
are made. The loss is fully covered
by insurance in companies repre-
sented by L. w. Anderson and C. r.
Hayes. 1t will not interfere with
the business of the establishment.

THE CAUSES
Which Led up to The Big

Case Decision In Favor OF Senator

dealings between Camden, who In an
ex-senator from West Virginia, and
Others and Dewing & Sons The cast
was brought TO this county from the
western paro Of the state and there
has been much interest displayed In
the outcome, owing To the peculiar
facts that were at issue,
Ii seems that some years back Dew.
ing & Sons employed A. IL. Winches
ter and Eli Hutton, two local timber
dealers In Poeahontas, Greenbrier and
Nicholas counties OF West Virginia tt
buy land for them in these counties.
johnson n. Camden and others, whf
formed another company, went into
the same counties to buy timber land
and made a contract with Dewing Il
Sons 20 buy the land for them as well
as for themselves, thus stamping out
competition and securing the land at
prices far below what they could have
secured 1t for should the two compan-
les compete and antagonize each
other. Winchester and Hutton
bought the land and while buying il
Jhef lived rather extravagantly,
charging all expenses up TO their en-
ployers. These two then became In
volved In disagreement between
themselves aud both left the country
Camden then brought suit in
equity TO compel specific performance
of the contract existing between Dew
ing & Sons and the others involved,
at the same time demanding the land.
In April 1899, Judge Faulkner hand
ed down decree granting to Camden
and others, the plaintiffs In the case
to a master commissioner OF the court
to take evidence as 10 the cost and
expenses which the plaintiffs would
be bound to pay.
The defendants appealed from this
decree and the Supreme court Of APP
peals of West Virginia in the latter
part of 1899 confirmed the lower
court and sent the case back to this
county TO the Circuit Court to com
plete the case, Of course compelling
the plaintiffs to pay their part OF the
expenses of the surveys, etc. The
case was one OF the most stubbornly
fought that has ever come before a
court in this state and involved more
than $4,000 acres Of land In the three
counties above named Some of the
most eminent attorneys In the state
were interested in the case.
