The WIRES CROSSED
Trouble in Management of the Farm
ington Telephone-To be Aired in
Court.

There appears to be considerable
friction in the management Of the
Pennington Telephone Company.
For several years, as we understand
the situation, the directors have
been devoting their time and energy
to the building mp and extension Of
the plant, the officers contributing
their time and labor without salary
or compensation, what they might
have received In this way being ex-
pended on Improvement and re-
pairs. A majority OF the officers
and directors concluded that il
would be better to lease the plant, SO
as to relieve themselves ofthis strain
and give them an opportunity to
turn their time and enegry to other
business investments needing their
attention. They succeeded in find
ing u company that was ready to
lease the plant at an annual rental
OF $1,000 for ten years, which they
claim is better for the stockholders
generally than the present plan, in
asmuch as no dividends have been
paid. So, at n meeting of the board
of directors last Friday night, by a
vote OF four to two, they decided to
lease, and did lease the plant to The
Home Cooperative Telephone Co.
The two Obiecting directors and sew
eral other stockholders Immediately
got busy with their attorneys and
rapid-fire typewrlters, aroused judg-
es Mitchell and Kinzer of the County
Court from their slumbers, and APP
piled for writ of injunction to en-
join the action of the board, then
with the Sheriff in an automobile
honked around and had the papers
served on the majority of the mem
bers of the board before daylight
Saturday morning. The hearing Is
set for next Monday. OF course
there may be good deal behind
this of which the general public is
not aware, but we suppose it will
all come out in the legal tussle that
must inevitably follow. In the
meantime the efficiency of the ser
vice, which is of the very best, will
not be interfered with.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS
BAND CONCERT OCT. is
AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

The Management of the Fair As
sociation have been fortunate
enough to arrange with DR.. John
Graves for concert to be given by
his Military Band during the week
of the Fair. The Management have
been particularly anxious to arrange
for this concert because OF the gem
eral interest manifested by the
friends and admirers of this popular
organization of able musicians, as
to whether or not such concert would
be held. Pennington people are all
familiar with the Graves Military
Band, and the superior renditions
which they have given in this town,
in the past has won them n host of
warm friends here. DR.. Graves Is
now preparing aprogram, the details
of which are not yet ready for pub
LEGATION. 1t will be made up from
the compositions of the foremost
masters of band music, together
with sprinkling of lighter pieces
which are thoroughly familiar to all.
In making up this program Dr..
Graves, who has had long expert
ence In giving such concerts, is en-
deavouring to introduce some new
and original features which are abso-
lutely his own conceptions and crea-
tons. This concert will be held on
Friday, October 18th, at 8: p. M, in
the Opera House.

IMPORTANT COURT RULING
Unrecorded Leases Subject to Exc
cution and Taxes as Personal
Property.

1t is not known, perhaps, that
during the August term of our Cir
cult Court Judge Killian made n
very important ruling relative to
leases on real estate. A lease,
for certain term of years, on real
property, Is deemed to be real estate,
and as such Is exempt from excu-
ton whenever real estate in general
is exempt; as for example, ones
homestead is exempt from execution
provided it does not exceed a given
sum.
Thus, it will be seen, IL you have
a lease on n lot or lots, and do not re-
cord this lease, as deed is recorded,
you simply own the easement and 1t
is deemed and held as personal prop
erty, subject to all the laws relative
to personal property, and may he
levied upon as personality for debt
or taxed as personal property. If
YOU record the lease, and its tenure
IL long enough, 1t becomes real
estate and may be sold as home
stead under the restriction of the
law. In other words, an unrecorded
lease is personal property and re-
corded lease is real estate, and
either may be taxed or sold under
execution, This Is the substance of
Judge Killian's ruling and affects
nearly all the leases In the Lead Belt.
