subject of taxes in West Virginia
after Brenneman had ceased 10 be
a citizen of said State, and that the
assessment of this money must be
made by the assessment authorities
at the residence or place of abode
Of the owner Of the fluids. From
this decree Pyle, through his at
torneys, took an appeal TO the Clr
cult Court of Appeals, where the
case was argued by Judge Jacobs,
OF New Martinsville, In favor OF
Brenneman, and a decree by that
court has just been rendered In fa-
vor of Brenneman, fully sustaining
the position taken and decree
rendered by Judge John J. Jackson,
of the Circuit Court for the North
ern District of West Virginia. The
case Is important In settling the
principle that money on deposit In
West Virginia banks to the credit
of non resident Is not subject to
local taxation.

A case of unusual Importance
has1 Just been decided by the Cir
cult Court of Appeals for the
Fourth Circuit, at Richmond. A
short outline of the case Is as fol-
lows;
Lewis A. Brenneman was one of
the successful oil operators II the
Elk Fork field. In Tyler county
Brenneman sold out his holdings
and removed from the State Of
West Virginia just prior TO April
Ist, 1890, to Pennsylvania, but LETT
to his credit In the Slstersvllle
banks a very considerable amount
of money realized from the proceeds
of the sale of the oil property. The
assessor of Tyler county assessed
this money to Brenneman and the
taken came out against Brenneman
for the tax year ensuing the assess
ment, amounting to over $4,000
Brenneman claimed that this was
an erroneous and unlawful asses
ment. and employed Judge 7. P.
Jacobs, of New Martiusville, and
V B. Archer, Of Parkersburg, as
his attorneys, who filed bill In
Equity In the United States Circuit
Court OF the Northern District of
West Virginia, at Parkersburg, and
obtained from Judge Jackson an
Injunction against Stephen G Pyle,
Sheriff of Tyler county, restraining
