LAUGH!LIN MILLS
PLAN TO|RESUME
OPERATIONS /. ]
Shut Down Was
Only T emporary

WHEELING, Nov. 1S.--An immedl.
ate resumption of work In eight OF the
twenty.three tin mills OF the Laughlin
plant Of the United States Steel Cor
poration, at Martins Ferry seems to be
an assured fact.
Fifteen of the mills were closed
some time ago. leaving eight running.
1--WE hope to resume operations in
about seven or eight mills the first
Of the week. said Mr.. C. A. Robinson.
district manager Of the American
Sheet and Tin Plate Company last
night when asked to give an expires.
sion regarding the authenticity OF the
report.
1t is Said that the closing down was
only temporary. AMI now that the low
ering clouds. which overcast the hnan.
cial skies a few weeks ago are being
dlspelled, active resumption in all the
twenty.three mills is only a question
of few days. The .re,opening Of these
and other mills Will, Of course, have Il
stimulating effect on the Industrial sit
uation generally.
It is said that several other plants
of the United States Steel corpora:
tion, which closed recently, had un.
filled orders for finished products
which would keep them running at futl
capacity for nine months. and there
appears to be no reason why a period
OF renewed activity in all kindred in.

ing unavailable, Mr.. Shakely decided
to handle the business himself, with
the results already stated.
The Baltimore firm has deposited In

pie funds to cover the Fairmont sheets
and state that they will always keep
large balance here to the credit Of
the Fairmont office to cover any pos.

Dance at Woods Landing.

Probably one of the most pleasant rs
well rs the most largely attended dances
ever given in that section was given the
latter part of last week by Mr.. and Mrs.
James Pollock of Woods Landing.
Between 12O and 125 guests We're pres
ent and filled the hospitable home to
overflowing. Music was furnished by
Mr.. and Mrs. David Hendrickson. and
those who have had the pleasure of
dancing to their music can understand
why the merry crowd continued to trip
the light fantastic until six o'clock in
the morning.
At midnight sumptous supper was
served, and while the crowd was
large, the supper was larger, not II square
inch of available space being left on the
cloth after it was spread. The supper
was as declicious as it was bountiful.
Everyone enjoyed the event to the full
lest extent, many of the guests coming
from Laramie and North Park was also
quite well represented.

Verdict for Defendant.

The damage suit of Caspar Fox VS.. L.
John Payne of Cowdrey, was held be
fore Justice of the Peace Crawford
Wednesday, and resulted in the jury
bringing in verdict in favor of the de-
fendant.
The facts as testified to by the plant
iff are that on the 10Th day of July, he
was going down the lane from his home
and met the defendant driving bunch
of plaintiffs cattle up the lane consider
ably faster than he thought was good
for them The two parties had few
words and the defendant drove the cat
tie on. As result of the drive the
cattle were materially damaged, one
COW being seriously injured
The defendant testified that the cat
tie in question had broken into his field
and stated he drove them out and up the
lane about two miles but claimed he did
not drive them any faster than stock
cattle are driven and that he did not
injure any of them. From other testi-
mony introduced, 1t appers that the cat
tie had broken into Mr.. Payne's field,
through a poor section of fence, several
times and this fact in connection with
trouble which already existed between
the two parties exasperated him to the
extent Of driving the cattle to the bound
aries of his land.
The witnesses for the plaintiff were
Mrs. Fox, John Wilson and Miller Mos
man. Mr.. Mosman testified to having
made trip to Mr.. Fox's to secure some
beef and saw several cattle that bore
evidence Oft run.
Witnesses for the defendant We're
NC. Wtrd, George Barnes and Dave
Hendrickson
Both plaintiff and defendant related
the facts as they were, as nearly rs pos
sible to do so dissagreeing only upon
the damage done to the stock. Attor
ney Law conducted the case for the
plaintiff.
The jury consisted of Fred McAvoy,
foreman, Earnest Butler and Willis
Briggs. A verdict was reached and
handed in to the court at o clock in
the evening.
