ANOTHER TURN IN
THIS NOTED CASE.

New Martinsville, April II. -.
The case of the First National
Bank of this city against the
Lowther Kaufman Oil e. Coal Co,
and F. w. Clark and Joseph l.
Norris, of of Willow Island, took
another sensational turn Satur-
day when the attorneys for the
First National Bank had execu-
tons issued again to subject the
estate Of Frank w. Clark and
Joseph |. Norris to the satisfac-
ton of their judgment, which
amounts to little over $33. 900
The attorney for Mr.. Clark
and Mr. Norris promptly gave
notice of their intention to apply
for an injunction and the matter
was to come up Saturday, when
the application for the injunction
will be heard before Judge NJ. H.
Willis.
In view of the fact that attor-
neys for G. A Lowther and F. c..
Lowther against the Lowther-
Kaufman Oil & Coal company
have succeeded in getting their
case against the company referr-
ed to a commissioner, and it is
very unlikely that the company
will ever pay off the debt against
it. The First National Bank is
very DESTROYS in getting judg-
ment paid as soon as possible.
