OWNERS OF CLINTON DISTRICT
FARM TAKEN IN ORDER
BY DEATH.

MoRGANToWN. Feb. 1S.-George
Higgins, one OF tina oldest and best
known residents of Clinton district,
died at his home yesterday morning
after an illness of several weeks. He
was 30 years Of age and unmarried.
Several weeks ago he went into a de-
cline and did not long withstand the
attack on account OF his age and in
armities. The funeral will take place
today and the interment will be at the
Summers cemetery.
His death recalls several interest
ing incidents. About % years ago,
he, together with two brothers and a
sister. purchased a tract of land in
Clinton district. The deed was made
In peculiar manner. The property
was to pass in turn from Jane to
William. to George and then to
Jonathan. Three of the four par
lies TO the deed are dead and their
deaths occurred in the order which
they were named in the deed. jon
athan alone survives.
The land in question was sold by
George w. Johnson and John w.
Carothers. It Is very valuable now
being underlaid with coal and one
Of the few tracts in that section
which has not been sold to people
who have been investing in coal
lands.
Another interesting fact was
brought out in conversation about
the deceased. He and his sister were
robbed some years ago by George
and Lonnie Anderson. They were
both tried and sent to the penlten-
tiary for the crime. A member of
the jury was C. C. Brown and from
that day until to-day he escaped
further jury service. He is a mem
Der OF the present jury. The trial
was conducted by Judge Hagans. Bart
Jones was sheriff and NJ. S. Garrison
was a deputy for him.

In an interview. Mrs. Heindel dis
cussed the liquor situation most en-
tertainingly. Among other things he
said:
1.-THE saloon business is just as le-
gitimate as any other The govern
ment says so when IT issues license
to sell liquor. So why should not
men be allowed to run n business that
is legallzed? or course all men are
not ut and should not be allowed to
run saloons. but respectable man
who runs a respectable place should
not be interfered with, SO long as he
keeps within the law.
Saloons should be allowed to open
between church hours on Sunday;
that is. they should be closed Sun
day morning and evening until nine
o'clock. That would leave the after
noon free for a man to get drink
if he wanted one, without sneaking in
n side door like a criminal. Where
We have such a cosmopolitan popula.
ton and so many religious denomina.
lions, We must respect those who

should be remembered that this is
not like the foreign countries. where
they have practically but one religion.
Il see no reason why men who pay
for a license to run saloon should
not be allowed to do business under
that license on the same basis that
other mon are permitted to conduct
other business"
