Best Minstrel in the World

When Lew Dockstader and his
great minStrelS come to the Audi
torium at Winchester, next Mon
day night, December ,, theatre
goers will have the opportunity of
seeing the great DOckStader in his
new laugh producer "A Dull Day
in the White House, in which
the Minstrel King impersonates
President Roosevelt and gives a
most humorous rendition of the
way he thinks the President :
office should be run. 1t is said to
be the happiest idea which Mr..
Dockstader has ever evolved, and
lis led up to by one of those moving
picture introductionS which are
always so faithfully representative
of what they precede. Mr.. Dock
stader's portrayal of the Chief
Executive is said to be a most
clever imitation of the manneriSms
and style of President Roosevelt
and not mere burlesque. 1t may
be expected that Dockstader will
have some hot shot in the line of
natural political quips to fire, as
well as his timely touching upon
local affairs which are always so
popular from this comedian. Prices
soc, 75c. 81, $3.50. Seats on sale
at Hable's store. Both phones.

Sewers Case Reversed

In the Supreme Court of Appeals
last Thursday the judgment of the
Circuit Court of Clarke County
was reversed in the case of Yir-
ginia Fire and Marine Insurance
Company VS.. j. l. Case Threshing
Machine Company.
This suit went from the Circuit
Court of Clarke County, where a
fire insurance policy was issued on
certain propcrty'of c. X. Sewers,
who assigned the same to the j. /.
Case Threshing Machine Company.
One of the conditions in the policy
of insurance. was that it should be
void if the property insured by it.,
or any part or item thereof was at
the time of its issue or should be-
come incumbered by any lien or
mortgage, deed of trust, Judgment
or otherwise. either prior or sub
sequent to the date of the policy.
There was deed of trust on the
property insured at the date the
policy was issued; but the circuit
court held that Notwithstanding the
condition of the policy, the insur-
ance company was liable.
Judge Buchanan, writing the
opinion of the supreme court, says
that under a recent decision by
the court of substantially similar
case, the insured was not entitled
to recover He holds that, as in
that case a breach of the condi-
tion of fire~insurance policy. that
it should be void il the interest OF
the insured bc other than uncondi-
tional ownership, or If the subject
of insurance be building on
ground not owned by the insured
in fee simple, voidcd the policy, SC
in this case, where the condition is
that it shall be void if the proper ty
insured, or any part thereof, was
then or should become incumbered
by any lien by mortgage, deed oi
trust, Judgment or otherwise, the
policy stands voided under the
fects disclosed by the record.
The case of Mccormick VS.
Elsea, from the Circuit Court oi
Clarke County, was affirmed by
the Supreme Court. This case was
one in regard to the fee to be al
lowed an attorney Mr.. (McCor'
mick). The commissioner of ac
counts of the local court allowed
the fee, but Judge Harrison ruleC
against the allowance, and the cas-,
was carried up. The Suprems
Court now confirms Judge Har
rison's ruling:
