a bill of particulars in suit against
his former partner. Sam Moore, In

dant defrauded Teter out of from
$4,000 to 100000.
Moore was secretary and treasui
er of the partnership and handled
the finances of the concern since II
was formed in 1902.
The alleged defalcations occurred
in the various settlements between
the two partners and. consisted OF
alleged false expense accounts and
alleged payment of commissions,
which were never paid. according tu
the bill
Almost every allegation of frau'i
that is possible for one partner to
practice against another is set forth
in the document, which was filed in
the circuit court here today.
Attorneys E. M. Showalter, of
Fairmont and Byrer of Philippi, rep
resent Teter.
Among other items 1t is alleged
that large sums charged for ex-
penses and commissions on sales or
purchases of coal land were not ex-
pended In this connection are two
items, one of over $4,000 and an
other of near $4,000 are mentioned.

known in Williamson, having visit
ed that city frequently in the past
few years. They organized the Law
son Land Company, paying $4,000
for the Lawson farm in what is now
East Williamson. They laid out
this suburb and, it is understood,
made quite sum OF money on the
sale of the lots. Not long ago they
disposed of the unsold lots to J. L.
Peters and associates. They are al
SO owners Of stock and bonds of the
Williamson Light & Ice company, 1t

We have read somewhere that the
cost OF stopping a railroad train
had been closely figured out. and
that il was much greater than th ,
expense OF running train several
miles. We do not know which Ia

habit. but are inclined to think th.
latter. We have never tried stop

to stop as some habits. few would

One of the best known land
marks along the n. & w. railroad
disappeared Monday night when the
Murphy Hotel at Nolan was de-
stroyed by fire. How the flames
originated is a mystery but many
suspect that it was of incendary
origin. 1t is stated that fire was dis
covered in two places when the
neighbors rushed in.
The building was occupied by
MIN Thompson. who conducted a
boarding house. and was owned by
Mrs. Floyd Murphy. There was $500
insurance on the contents and 49,
600 on the building.
This building was erected 10
years ago when Nolan was an i'm
portant station on the railroad. In
those days all of the trains stopped
there go minutes for lunch" The
hotel did thriving business fo.'
many years.
President Charles Woolford, of
the county court, conducted a hotel
in the building for several years
and made of 1t popular hostelry.
