DEEP DECLARED GOOD
And Railroad Company Has Not
Abandoned the Roadbed
Which Is In Dispute.

Col. It. Moore Jackson lost his
Injunction suit in circuit court
against the Fairmont & Clarksburg
Traction company and others, but
was given leave to take an appeal to
the state supreme court.
Judge Lynch handed down his
opinion Saturday morning, dissolv-
ing the injunction and dismissing
the bill. He held the deed by
Jackson to the West Virginia Short
Line Railroad company for the
right of way through his property
here is good, whether the considera-
lion was paid or not, and that it
conveyed an easement.
1T was also held that the railroad
company had not%abandoned the
property, distinction being drawn
bv the court between abandonment
and non-use and that when 4
Tailroad company abandons an
easement the title cannot revert TO
the grantor until a proceeding has
been instituted by the same to de-
clare the property forfeited by the
railroad company.
Third, it was held that the rail
road company could make a con-
tract with the street car company,
as they were not competing lines
and the transaction was not mo-
nopoly for straint Of trade.
The strip of land in controversy
is a part of the old road bed of the
West Virginia Short Line Railroad
Company, coming into this city and
the street car company leased it
from the railroad company for a
period for use of its line between
this city and Fairmont. When the
street car company began to grade
it. Col. Jackson sued out an in
junction, which was first made tenn
porary, but is. now dissolved by the
decree entered by Judge Lynch
Saturday morning, unless the mat
ter Is taken to the supreme court.
