5soEs S., 600 IN SUIT AGAINST
Z y. P, KLINE,

+ MARTiNSBURG. w. Va, Sept. 49,
One of the most sensational cases
heard In recent years in the circuit
court IN Martinsburg came to a close
at late hour Saturday night, when
the jury in the damage suit of George
II. Crimes against ]. Peter Kline, re-
turned a verdict awarding $4,000 to
the plaintiff after deliberating several
hours
Grimes sued Kline for $25,O0O dam
ages for the alienation Of the airec.
tions of his (Grimes) wife, and owing
to the prominence OF the parties in.
yolyed inSthe suit, and the nature of
the charges, the case attracted wide
spread attention.
The suit occupied Judge Faulkner
and a jury for more than two days,
and more than thirty witnesses testi.
fled, including the seyenteen-year-old
daughter Of the plaintiff, whose evl.
dence was of the most sensational anu
damaging character. The plaintiff is
a well known Baltimore and Ohio rail.
road man of Martinsburg, and the de-
fendant is wealthy and prominent
business man and contractor.
"a new trial will be asked for by the
defendant, and II this is denied by
Judge Faulkner,.it 1t is very probable
that the suit will be appealed to the
State Supreme Court. Walker. and
Woods represented Grimes, and Attor.

ARE PAWPAW DISTRICT PEOPLE
OVER THE NEW GASOLINE
MOTOR CAR.

Some idea of the popularity OF the
new gasoline motor car now being ope-
rated on the Fairmont and Northern
Traction Company's line between Fair
view and Gray's Flats can be had
when 1t Is stated that yesterday there
were sixty.four passengers hauled at
one load when there is seating capac-
ity for only twenty. passengers. The
car had more. than 1t could haul.
There was during the entire day a
large crowd left at each end OF the
line that could not be hauled on nc.
count Of the inadequacy of the capac.
ity of the car. The number OF people
transported on the new car yesterday
was 564. 4.f, -.
This will be one OF the best lines
coming into Fairmont. 1t will develop
some OF the richest territory in the
State. The new mines that will be
opened In Pawpaw district will cause
the district to forge to the front.
