OCTOBER ~.
An important matter to resi-
dents and taxpayers Of Taylor
county is before the circuit court OF
this county in the nature of an in
junction suit in reference to the
proposed erection of bridge
across Tygarts Valley river fem
The vest side to the south side of
The City of Grafton. The plain
tits and petitioners are Charles M.
Glenn and others against the mem
beers of the county court of TayIor
county, namely, Robert p. Philips
John %. Henry and Ulysses Nor
row, the Canton Bridge Company
and A. e. N. Means, sheriff OF
Taylor county.
The matter was before Judge
Lynch a few days ago and sum
monses were directed to issue to the
defendants to appear before the
COURT ON the 18th day of October
and show cause, if any they have,
why an injunction should not he
granted Charles NJ. Glenn and
others restraining the sheriff of
TAYLOR county from proceeding
with the collection of taxes in ac-
cordance with the levy laid on the
9Th day of July, 1906, for reasons
IN the bill of complaint set forth.
While the name of Chas. M. Glenn
appears as the principal plaintiff IN
this cause, the people of that CITY
and county will be in no wise slow
in giving credit for the move
where credit belongs. But several
weeks have elapsed since the sup
RENE court of the state, sitting at
wheeling, rendered a. verdict
against A. Armstrong and others,
asking for a mandamus which con-
tanned for its main issue the stop
ping of work on the new bridge Dy
ethe Canton Bridge Company. Not
satisfied with that defeat the OPP
position to the bridge enterprise
would now, if possivle, stop the
collection of the entire tax OF the
county for the year.
The copy of the order is as fol-

Monday morning the case was
continued until Oct. 20, because the
bridge company had not been serv-
