CIRCUIT COURT
DOCKET IS LENGTHY
SEVERAL IMPORTANT CASES
WILL COME UP FOR ADJUDi.
CATION THIS TERM.

The Circuit Court docket for the
present term is rather lengthy and
the cases probably to be tried are the
following: Joshua Kers VS.. John
HoIleran; +. w. Bartlett VS.. South
Penn Oil Company; R, Z, Fast VS..
Rooms Run Oil Company; Jonephine
A. Skinner, executrix, VS.. B. G. Will
liams and others. c. L. Netting, Jr,
VS.. Josephine A. Skinner. Maggie
Brooks VS.. James Wise; Bernhard
Mfg. Co., vs.. Casterline and Hoge;
Fred B. Lott, SURVIVING plaintiff VS..
James F. Cook; Ella Simpson VS.. c.
F. Ballah; Joseph P. Fleming VS.. Ben,
jamin F. Simpson; Patrick Gettings
VS.. The City Of Fairmont; Renwick
Bros. VS.. Ira w. Haun; State VS.. L.
B. Martin, bastardy; Delmar Oil Com
pany VS.. F. w. Bartlett; F. w. Bart
lett VS.. the Marietta Torpedo Com
pany; Fairmont and Clarksburg
Traction Company VS.. Mahaley COch,
ran, c. B. Tetfick and T. J. Tetrick,
condemnation proceedings. Linthicum
Rubber Company VS.. E. E. Tetrick ct
al; G. W. c. Binns VS.. A. Friedman;
J. B. Cross vs.. John Hopkins: A. A..
Hayes VS.. A. J. Weiss and Co.
Probably the most important of
these Is the case Of Fred B. Lott sur
viving plaintiff against James F.
Cook. This case was tried last term
and resulted in a hung jury, 1t is to
recover moneys said to be due the
plaintiffs for the sale of a mine for
the defendant in Harrison county and
for which services it is alleged full
payment was made.
The suit Of Fred W. Bartlett against
the Marietta Torpedo Company is a
suit for damages resulting for the i'm.
proper shooting of a well near Man
ningtOn. The explosives were not
lowered a sufficient depth and dam
aged the we'll considerably, so It's
claimed. The suit of the Delmar Oh
Company against the plaintiff results
from the foregoing suit.
State against John Harlow for the
killing of Frank Schwartz at the
Fountain saloon will also likely be
tried and is one Of the most impor'
tant criminal cases on the docket.
An Indictment was found against
e. II. Butcher for the theft Of $4,000
from P. Mcmillan and the trial has
been set for Saturday.

The proposed picnic Of St. Johns
Sunday school was postponed until
next week. The N. P. required a guar
antee of IS passengers, which, owing to
the absence from town of some of the
scholars and the inability of many of the
parents to attend, MI. Dobson did not
feel justified in giving.
w. T. Hammond of Iowa, has been
here the past week inspecting lands
with a view of stocking a large tract
with cattle. In Texas Mr.. Hammond
is interested in a ranch of $4,000 acres
and he is inclined to think that his com.
pany can successfully operate a large
ranch in this locality.
The trustees of the Odd Fellows
lodge have entered into a party wall
contract with P. A. Moir. The latter
allows the order to use his wall, which
is to be strengthened by one brick for
the first story, and should Mr.. Moir ever
desire to use any or all of the forty feet of
division wall which is to be erected back
of his present structure, he is to reim-
burse the Odd Fellows to the extent of
one-third of the cost of said forty feet, or
at that rate for so much thereof as he
may use. This seems like a very fair
way to have settled the matter and no
one is injured. On the south side of the
lot the Odd Fellows have not entered
into a contract with Mr.. Drenkel, but in
any event this Barnes street grocer will
move his present store over sufficiently
to give the order a chance to build to
the outer line of their lot, and it is pos
sible that he will think best to 60 in on
a party wall contract.
