The walcott swlndIe.

As so many innocent victims
have swallowed the bait OF UNI

chased land in "the Walcott strip

ing special, showing another vic

interest to our readers:
"That famous piece OF Kentucky
land which is said to have been
showed through 10000 real estate
trades like a piece OF counterfeit
money wound up today in law

1880 Virginia made a grant OF $780,

forks. Numerous companies have
been formed to deal In this land.

THE STANDARD
Oil Company TO Have Opposition
in Kentucky Because of In.
fair Discrimination.

The Standard OIL Company's pol
Icy Ia regard to the Kentucky oil
fields is beginning to raise dlscord-
ant notes among the producers.
Now comes the announcement that
the producers OF what is known as
Ragland oil are planning an inde-
pendent refinery for their output,
Notwithstanding what action the
Standard may choose to take.
The immediate cause OF this
break from the straight and mar
row path" along which small pro-
ulcers usually tread when the
standard enters au oil field with
its pipe lines, is the claim OF dis
elimination in regard TO the prices
fixed on the crude oil output OF the
State. At present three different
prices are quoted on Kentucky oil.
White House oil, the production OF
the Floyd-Knott field, brings Sl.24
a barrel. Somerset and Barbour
VILE oil, 80 cents barrel, while
the Ragland product, the output OF
the Bath field is quoted at 50 cents
per barrel. Several weeks. ago
BarbouryIlle and Somerset oil was
quoted at 50 cents, and Ragland al
So cents. While steady advances
have been made on other oil, the
Ragland price has remained I'M
changed, and it is against this that
operators, while making no objec-
ton TO this assertion, maintain
that corresponding increase
should be made on their product
with each increase in the price OF
other products.
The movement for an indepen-
dent refinery was started by the
Licking Valley Oil Company, the
leading independent producer, and
developments toward lis establish
ment are rapidly progressing. Ii
is claimed machinery has been
negotiated for, a market for all the
output obtained, and the company
has production OF its own to KEEP
the refinery going at its initial ca
pacity. All that is lacking now Is
a site for the refinery. Charles w
Moore, OF Cincinnati, wants 1t To-
Gated at Cincinnati. Citizens oil
Winchester are putting in a claim
while Lexington will offer site.
AT all events, further develop
ments will be awaited with mucf
| interest. The Standard is strong
| in the territory in which epposi
ton to its policy has been com
menced, recently having Dough
out the interest of Gutfy& Galley
who gave the field its start. On
the other hand, hopromoters of III
independent movement are wei
known business men OF Lexington
and Michigan, who are financial,
able to carry out what they under
take.-Barbourvllle News.

BIG SUIT TRIED.
Decision in Insurance Case In
yOIying $4,000.

One OF the most important cases
that has been tried In tho Lawrence
Circuit Court for long time was
decided last Saturday. 1t was that
OF John Hays, administrator Of
Morris Grillln's estate, against the
Equitable Life Assurance Com
pany. $4,000 was the amount In
yolved. The company paid this
amount to Howe 4 johnson, a
firm In Mt, Sterling, who were
named IN Griilln's policies as his
beneiclarles. The suit was to re-
cover this amount, the admlnistra.
tor claiming that the money should
not have been paid to Howe q
johnson, but to the children and
widow OF the deceased.
Griffin died in the Lawrence
county poorhouse In 1900. Among
a few letters and pa lers left by
him was found a notice from the
Equitable Company Ola premium
due on policy. An investigation
showed that the mans life had
been heavily insured, Some time
was required TO get at the facts,
and while this was going on Howe
a Johnson were proceeding with
tho collection OF tho money. The
company had paid 1t TO them, II
seems, before the heirs got ready
for action.
Suit was first brought against
both the Equitable aud Howe 4
Johnson. The action was after
ward separated, however, and the
ease against the insurance compa'
ny WAS tried last week. The plain
this claim that Howe 4 johnson
had no "lnsurablo Interest," IL
Grliiln, which Is that Of blood OF
marriage relationship, or Of debtor
and creditor; and that the compa
ny therefore could not legally pa!
the insurance to them. The CON
pany won on the ground that tn,
policies were lncontestablo for an,
cause after one year from date o
Issue. The policies were issued II
1893, at which time Griffin was en-
ployed as drnyman by Howe 4
Johnson, who were then wholesal,
liquor dealers,
In the trial Of another branch o
the case some tins ago, Howe 4
johnson produced a judgment iron
the United States Court Of Yves
Virginia against Griffin and Il
their favor, for an amount jus
about equal 10 the Insurance II
question. This was proved to hav
been traudulenlly obtained, how
ever, and the court decided tina
no such Indebtedness existed.
It is said that about $4,000 IN
suranco on this mans lie had ais
beon placed in another company
but had been allowed to lapse.
Griffin left four children and
widow.
The case viii be taken TO tn
Court OF Appeals.
