About five moaths ago Sander
Sabo shipped carload of goods, his
household effects, from Morgantown
to Long Run, Ohio, but the goods
were never delivered by the Balti-
more d Ohio railroad company, over

through his attorney, John o.
Pendletop. of Wheeling, Sabo insti
tuted civil action in a justice cours
for damages in the sum Of 1929. 40
for the loss of bis furniture.
A peculiar feature OF the case il.
the justice court was the decision OF
the justice that the plaintiff was Gu
titled to recover damages 10 a greater
amount than for which he sued The
complaintapt, however, agreed that
he would accept the amount for which
he sued, but the case was taken to the
circuit court in Wheeling, by Col,
Robert White, attorney for the rail-
road company.
Saturday morning the case came up
before Judge Heryey Ia the circuit
court. Col. White made a tender of
the goods, saying they had turned up
10 Baltimore. Mr.. ,Pendleton object
ed to this proceeding. The case was
set down for hearing at later date
