More About DR.. POlan.

"The truth will out" Some weeks
ago we made some observation on
some alleged conduct Of one DIR. Lake
Polan, who claims Kessier Hospital,
Clarksburg, as his headquarters, the
facts having been taken from the
Calhoun Chronicle, the doctor having
operated, the paper claims in that
locality The paper was scarcely out
until Polan, who was then in Weston,
made sweeping denlals of the fact,
declaring that he did not travel
through country localities, that he
never was in Calhoun county in his
life, and that another was travelling
through country districts operating on
his good name Desiring to de- full
justice to the man, this paper publish
ed his denials, but not without some
misgivings.
1t then began to investigate as to
the truth or fAlsity OF Polan s repre-
sentation. a letter was dispatched
to the publishers of the Chronicle and
the information received that the
gentleman who there represented
himself to be DR.. Lake Polan was
small man who talked with decided
foreign accent, and carried other
marks which accentuated the suspi-
cion that Polan himself was the I'M
posLOr which he alleged another to
be.
Further investigation reveals the
fact that DIR. Lake Polan has opera
ted through the cosntry in this
county, and that h. dealit IS with
the people have been jus, as crooked
as those alleged agains a,m in Cal
houn county. Instead of never
going through the country as he
claims, he Is known to have travelled
through the rural portions of this
county for n week or two at time
at different times.
When PoIan talked to the writer
about the former item appearing
herein, he 6gured that it would take
tree huntred tollars" to make good
the damage the paper die him by the
publication. This is probably his
estimate on his outlook for the future
He is evidently man whose business
methods bear very close watching. s.

people is in favor Of the Powell's
Gap route as is shown by the fact
that they are buying rights-of- way
on that survey"
Later news given by this paper,
dated Oct. 10th, says:
"A deed of trust was filed in the
County Clerks Office yesterday from
the Chesapeake Western Railway to
the Bowling Green Trust Company,
Of New York, to secure the pay
ment Of s1.435,000 in first mort
gage bonds to be issued by the
company and delivered to the trus-
tee forthwith.
The mortgage shows that the ex-
tension from Bridgewater, west is
not being built under the old & &
" charter, but under an act encor-
porating the Underwater and West
Va. Railroad Co. the name being
changed to the C. w. Hallway By
the Richmond circuit court.
The mortgage states that the g,
". Go. resolves to contract and
operate a railroad commencing at a
point on or between the Potomac
and York Rivers, and proceed
thence to Bridgewater, thence
through Rockingham, Augusta and
Highland to a point On the West
Va. State line, making 1870 or more
miles.
The instrument further provides
that all extentlons Of the road may
be bonded at the rate Of S35, 900
per mile.
The paper is signed by De Witt
Smith as president of the Chesa-
peake Western.
BY way Of comment the News
says that the most interesting fact
in the recital is that thu board of
directors have decided to build the
road from some point between the
Potomac and York Rivers, and as
it is an official statement in an Off
cial document the road will be- ex-
tended east. In commenting we
would add that the same reasoning
could be applied to the western ex-
tension of the road, but we hardly
think it would be bad reasoning to
conclude that, as the company can
moatgage every additional mile of
road for S35, GOO, it will work on
the eastern end first, rs that por-
ton will be less expensive than the
western part. From this proceed
ing one would think that the COM
pauy has aot the money within it.
self to complete the road, yet the
same thing would indicate that 1t
has good credit, or the investment
is a S;rfe one.

which gives an account ofthe death

In part the notice states that Mr.

he was married again to TiIItha
