PEARSON Case
RECALLED > GOVERNORS GLASScOCE
AND HARMON HAVE LITTLE TILT.

That Governor Glasscock gives
careful consideration to all the mat
tiers of an Official nature that come
before him, was evidenced this morn
ing when he refused to honor re-
QUESTION from Governor Harmon,
of Ohio, asking for the removal from
this State, on the charge of kidnap-
ping, of William Pearson, Mason
comfy constable.
1t was shown that Pearson, in the
capacity of constable, arrested man
on the charge of theft, and a questi-
on was raised as to whether the man
when arrested, was in the State of
West Virginia or in the state of Ohio.
The arrest was first made in Ohio,
Pearson having got the man he was
after while both were on Ohio soil
and near where the alleged. .,thiefaas
supposed to have taken the stolen
goods. After the officer ha6 in
duced the alleged thief to board the
ferry boat at Point Pleasant,
he jumped from the boat and
the constable jumped into the
river after him. The second arrest
followed and question has been
brought as to whether the man was
arrested in West Virginia territory or
in the state of Ohio. There is a
difference of opinion as to the limits
of West Virginia, inasmuch as courts
have decided they reach the high
water mark on the Ohio side of the
river, while other court decisions
have placed the boundary at the low
water mark.
Because of the fact that Governor
Glasscock delayed in acting on the
requisition of the governor, Harmon
recently refused to honora requisite
on from Governor Glasscock in the
cases of Grant Edens and Harry
Observation-Disclosures Mail.

KANAUGA TRACTION
COMPANY WILL EXTEND LINE TO ADD.
son, OHIO, IN SPRING.

As soon as the weather settles in
the spriug the car line of the Kanau-
ga Traction company will be extend-
ed on to Addison, if the present
plans of President ]. S. Howard are
carried out. Work on Dam s5,
which is to be located near addison,
is scheduled to begin during the
summer of 1911, and Mr.. Howard
believes the extension Of the car line
to that point will be most advantage
Gus to his company. The nature of
the road along which the tracks are
to be laid is most favorable, but few
fills and trestles having to be made
and no doubt the residents of that
territory will view the project most
favorably. With the extension to
Addison would soon come the con-
solidation with the Pomerov car line
thus giving the two county seats of
Gallia and Meigs street car connect
ion, which would undoubtedly result
in mutual good to both communities
and the management has the good
wishes of fall.-Gallipolis Times.
Building of this road will be gladly
welcomed by the business men of
Point Pleasant, giving the shoppers
from the other side of the river ex-
cellent facilities for getting in and
out of here without the loss of time.
1t will also permit or the employees
of the Lock and dam boarding and
rooming here.

PIONEER CITIZEN DEAD
JOHN 7. BROWN DIES THE ADVANCED
AGE oFSEVENTY.NENE YEARS.

Died at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Arthur Edwards, in our city.
Friday, joint. Brown, aged seventy
nine years, of in6rmities incident to
old age.
John 7. Brown was born March
s5th, 1881, in Jackson County.
Virginia, (now West virginia) died
December 9, 1910. In his youth
and early manhood he followed the
trade of cooper, but his later life was
spent largely on the farm where he
was very successful.
He was converted twenty-seven
years ago under the ministery of Hes
ikiah Scott and joined Hickory Chapel
NJ. E. Church and was a member of
this same church at the time of his
death. He lived fearless christian
life, believing in the fatherhood of
God ana the brotherhood of man. He
seemed confident as he journeyd down
toward the setting sun and frequent
ly told his children that he was ready
whenever the Lord called him.
He is survived by eight children,
D. W. Brown, Mrs. Thomas Eads,
Mrs. A. j. Kincade, Mrs. NJ. F.
Cheuvront, of Huntington, Mrs. Ar
thur Edwards, C. W. Brown, Mrs.
J. W. Rice and Mrs. o. w. Conley.
Els wife preceded him to the gseat
beyond ten years ago.
How much this community owes
lin and such as he, it is impossible
to estimate, though it would be a
grateful task to trace his influence
through some of the more direct
channels, to hold him up in these
degenerate days, in his various char
acters of husband and father, of
neighbor and friend, to speak of the
sons and daughters he has reared to
perpetuate his name and emulate his
virtues. But it comes not within
the scope ofthis brief article to do so.
Suffice it to say, he lived nobly and
died peacefully at the advanced age
of seventy-nine years. The stern
reaper found him. as shock of
corn, fully ripe for the harvest. -
The funeral was held at Trinity,
NJ. E. Church, Sunday morning, at
II 100 o'clock, conducted by Rev. O..
NJ. Pullin, burial following at Lone
Oak Cemetery.
The pail bearers were: Col. J. P.
R. B. Smith, Mr.. H. E. Kerwood,
Robert Mitchell, Joseph Friedman,
d. S. Snyder and L. Shiaet.
