GRETNA GREEN

Is What SteubenviIIe, Ohio. May Become. viii
Be Paradise for Young People Who Desire
to Wed.
Probate Judge Frank II. Kerr
has just made public a proposed
action of his which will be hailed
with joy by those who In the future
may wander to the Ohio city from
West Virginia and adjoining states,
seeking o marriage license In the
Gretna Green.
Judge Kerr's action will popular
ize Steubenville as a Gretua Green,
as 1t will remove the only obstacle
in getting license. 1t Is hardly
an obstacle and Is practically a dead
letter, due to the posting done by
steerers. Those who refuse to lis
ten to the steerers get left. He
proposes to prepare bill for the
general assembly to be first
submitted to the probate judges
at their animal meeting, and
If approved by the will
likely become q Law. If the part
re requirlng the woman to be resi-.
dent of the county where they ap-
ply Is repealed. as proposed by the
judge, Ohio will become the centre
toward which all marrlageables
will be drawn; as the age limit for
the woman Is 18 years, or three
years less than the required age In
adjoining States. 1t will amount
practically to revolution In the
marriage laws ard will stop much
perjury In securing licenses. CO

Gone into Liquidation.

The Boston and Marietta OH
company, according to press dis
patch sent out from Portland, Maine,
Is bankrupt and has gone into
liq uidation. The investors are
principally residents of Boston.
The company was organized some
six or more years ago and capital
lied at 100000. About the time
this company was launched mum
Der of companies were incorporated,
but not all proved so long lived.
Among others was the Sand Fork
Petroleum company and Sand Ex-
tension company. The frs! named
paid dividends without having a
barrel of production. The Boston
and Marietta company secured some
production, when 1t began business,
In Washington and Morgan coun-
ties. The wells were small and the
leases, for which a high price was
paid, proved non.productive and
for more than a year the company
has had Avery small production.
The directors have been given full
power to wind up the affairs of the
company but are unwilling to pre-
dict what PERCENTAGE of the origt-
nal investment will be realized by
stockholders through a sale of the
property.
The first steps taken before 60
ing Into liquidation, was to reduce
the capital stock from $500, 900 to
$4,000, to save the Ohio State fee
of $19o, under the law taxing cor
porations upon their full value.
Had the company at the time Of
Incorporation been capitalized at
$I1o, ooo 1t would have been higher
thac the valuation of the property
would have warranted.
I. does not follow, however, that
all the companies that are backed
by eastern capital Eave been so un
fortunate as the Boston and Mari
eta. Those that have made sue
cess OF the business secured the ser
vices of practical men who under
stood every detail of the producing
business. The opportunities for
getting into the business are plenty
but to make a success of It requires
experience as we'll as capital.

Some time ago Park Commissioners
Mary Gibbs was instructed to==ralse,
the. Itasea dam, aud thereby let the
water subside, SOFAS to not flood and
damage the park. Heinezelman went.
over with a warrant to arrest the fore
man, w. A. Woods, and raise the
dam. When the constable arrived at
the dam Woods confronted him with a
cooked revolver, and threatened to
shoot any one who dared to modest
any of the laborers or attempted to
raise the dam.
Some years ago the Mississippi
River Boom company procured a
charter from the state to dam up the
lake to the highth4of eighteen inches.
This year they defy the law snd raised
the water to the highth of thirty-six
inches, which exceeds the charter
eighteen inches.
When Heinezeleman saw that he was
confronted by a revolver and con-
Guided. as he carried no gun himself,
to return to NIrs. Gibbs and have her
procure more official help.
Swan Torkelson, sheriff Of Clear
water county, was telephoned for, and
on last Friday he came to Itasca with
a posse Of twenty armed officers, but
on arriving there found the dam
guarded by sixty or seventy armed
men, and he concluded to wait until
Monday morning and see if some
agreement couldn't be made with the
men so as to have the gates opened
without bloodshed.
| The sheriff says that the dam must
be raised, and says that he is the man
who can and will raise it.
The officers have the state behind
them and will without doubt show
the "Jacks" that the are not the
whole thing.
