Many Chancery Cases on Docket
Few Criminal Cases Gossip about
The Court House.
The regular fall term of Circuit
Court couyenes on Tuesday next. 1t
will probably be in session about two
weeks or nearly up to election time.
Judge Mason will be on the bench.
A few cases OF general interest may
come up for trial at this term OF court.
Among these are that Of Claiming
Baker against Baker and Judson, con-
tractors. 1t will be remembered that
young Baker was thrown with an en-
CINE at Lock No. ii several months
ago and sustained very severe injuries.
He is a brother OF the Mr.. Baker OF
the firm, but he has no connection
with it himself. He sues the COM
pany for $4,000 for damages by reason
of injuries, loss Of time, surgical aid
etc.
Another case OF considerable inter-
est here and which will probably
come up for trial is that of the w. r
Jones Glass Company against John
Kennedy, who is charged with con-
spring to deprive the company of
workers.
Mr.. Kennedy was one man of what
seemed TO be an organized company
attempting to persuade or intimidate
the employees OF the Jones company
into going out on strike. Kennedy
was arrested and put in jail here, but
afterward released under heavy bail.
There was good deal OF excitement
over the matter at the time OF Ken
nedy's arrest and preliminary hearing.
A crse that will be of considerable
local interest in the eastern part of
the county is that I Alfred Blosser
against the County Court OF Monon-
gala county.
Mr.. Blosser sues for $500 damages
caused by the location and erection of
q steel bridge at the old Ices ferry
and the taking away from him OF the
ferry traffic. He claims damages for
having his view DISTRACTED, for suffer
ing from the waters OF Cheat which
he claims have been thrown out
around his premises by the embank-
ment.
The rape case OF the little girl on
the hill east of town and larceny
case may come up by indictment.
There are no more criminal cases be-
fore the court as yet.
The young Italian who is charged
with rape is In Jail awaiting the ac-
ton OF the grand jury.
xj.tr. 10 hai mn mo for
getting ready for trial at this at this
the Hartigan- Raymond slandemuit
and the Hartigan divorce suit, but it
is not known whether either of them
will come up at this term. They have
been delayed over several sessions al
ready.
A large number of Chancery case
are on docket. Many OF these hav
TO do with releasing certain coal land
in this county optioned by one A. e
Fretts and by some others. The time
OF the options has expired but the
holders will not surrender them and
suit Is brought by our land holders
to compel surrender.
Ii is not expected that the trial OF
the Iron City Oil and Gas Company
case will come before this session OF
the court. No answer has yet been
made by the higher court on the
question argued before it and the in.
junction and temporary receivers are
still in control.
The local bar has still been growing
in numbers, till now there are tifty
members. All of the members seem
to be busy, and doing we'll. Much OF
the business is what is called Office
work which does not indicate any
trouble among neighbors. So that,
though the number of lawyers is large
the community is aceable, with 8
very low per cent OF crime.
