O'Clock, Judge Aston G. Dayton, of
Philippi, presiding AS there is no
grand jury at this session of court, the
usual charge was not delivered. The
roll of the petit jurors was call d and,
with few exceptions. all answered 10
their names.
Judge Dayton handed down two
opinions in bankruptcy cases.
The first was in the case OF j. VIII
son Lewis, of Paw Paw, in which the
Court sustained the finding of the ref
cree allowing the fee of $25 70 coun-
sci for the bankrupt for services rem
dered. James d. Butt, of Harpers
Ferry, was the referee.
The second was in the bankrupt pro-
ceedings of E. E. Merckle, of Keyser,

company at the price of $4,000, and

ance with the terms of sale.

Theatrical Woman in Cairo Claimed
to Have Been Poisoned by
Eating Pork and Beans.

Miss Blondell who played at the
opera house the first three days OF

had some unusual experiences during
her short stay here. The two most
noteworthy were: She thought she
was poisoned by eating a lunch at a
restaurant One OF the dishes she or.
deTed was baked pork and beans. 1t
was the canned product. She stayed
in bed "a hours on account of this
incident. Next she claimed some one
stole her best hat that cost her SOS.
After leaving Cairo the couple went
to Paducah to fill weeks end en-.
gagement; but the Paducah house
shut down on vaudeville at the same
time the Cairo opera house did and
there was nothing doing. They re-
turned and hence to St, Louis.

The trouble experienced by the

than was supposed. At no time vas
there any danger TO passengers In
making the transfer from one side
of the bridge to the o:ner, if there
had been, Supt. Mclaughlin would
not have permitted the use of the
bridge at all. The serious part Of
the trouble was the Interference OF
traffic and the expense involved In
providing for the accumulation of
the traffic and the building of prac,
tically a new bridge over the main
channel. The great quantity OF
drift brought down by the recent
freshets might have swept away the

men were employed several days in
removing this drift and heavy cable,

supporting the bridge and these ca.

the stream.
