IMPOR TANT CASE SETTLED.
In A CONDEMNATION
SUIT REACHED OUT OF COURT.
Cherry Hun & Potomac Valley Railroad
Pays for Land Required In Con-
structton OF New Line

I In the Circuit court Wednesday it
was announced that one of the most
important suits on the docket has been
settled out of court between the par.
ties involved. The suit was the one
between the Cherry Run & Potomac
Valley railroad aud Mary Il. Van
Meter and others, and has been pend
ing in court for about le months. 1t
grew out of an application for the
condemnation of land wanted by the
railroad COMPANY for the new WABASH
line.
The court appointed James w.
Campbell. John Kennedy, James II.
Fulk. Calvin X. Tice aud Harry s.
Cushwa as viewers to ascertain the
amount of damsaes, and they later
filed report stating that the defen-
dants were entitled to 50. 800 for the
land required by the railroad and
damages to the rest of the tract by the
railroads passage.
The railroad company was dissatis-
fed with the report of the gentlemen.
and demanded trial by jury. placing
in the hands Of the court the amount
of the damages with interest. AS a
result of the agreement between the
parties involved in the suit, the court
Wednesday ordered that this sum be
returned to railroad compan y. While
the amount paid by the railroad to
the defendants is unknown, it is said
by those familiar with the proceedings
to have been 1900.
The settlement of this suit leaves
but one important railroad condem-
nation case-that against Jacob l..
Hanger. This is certainly creditable
showing. as there were number of
difficult cases ending.
