sometimes two and three times.

TRACTION
COMPANY
IN Them

The famous days of the Short
Line injunctions are about to be
revived. 1t was years ago a legal
battle royal, when the Short Line
right of way through Clarksburg
was up before the courts. Then
Colonel Jackson at the head Of the
West Virginia Railroad Company
stole march at night and laid
rails on property others claimed.
Injunction after injunction follow
ed, but the railroad company final
~ got the right Of way. The rail-
road, however, through the city was
never completed as the Baltimore u
Ohio absorbed the Short Line before
trains could come into the city over
it.
Lately the Baltimore & Ohio Com
pany granted the Fairmont &
Clarksburg Traction Company the
right to use the road bed, over and on
which to get into the city with its
line between this city and Fair
mont, and a force of hands was at
work west of that part of the road
bed that runs through the property
of Colonel Jackson.
Tuesday afternoon his attorneys
gave notice that he would ask for an
injunction within two or three days.
and Wednesday a force of hands was
put to work on That part of the road
bed, from which it is sought to en-
join the traction company. His
attorneys so notified Judge Lynch in
circuit court Wednesday morning,
but there was no bill in the case,
and he told them he could not act
with nothing before him to act upon.
They allege that the Coils action
will be based on the claim that he
donated the strip Of land to the
Short Line Railroad Company to be
used for that railroad only and that

One day a stranger went to a horse
dealer and wished to hire horse and
trap for a days outing. Not knowing
the man, the horse dealer declined to
trust them in his hands. The stranger
was determined, however, upon having
his drive. and proposed, therefore, that
he should pay the full value of the
horse and trap on condition that he
sold them back at the same price in
the evening if he brought them back
safe. To this the other could see no
objection. The horse and trap were
returned in good time, and after re-
ceiving back the sum paid for them
in the morning the stranger turned to
go. Hold on" exclaimed the dealer,
you have forgotten to pay for the
hire" "My dear sir" was the cool
reply. there is no hiring in the case.
I have been driving my own. horse and
trap all day." And the astonished
dealer was left to think the matter.
