Wins Big Land Suit.

Judge Benton while acting as
Special Judge of the Breathitt
Circuit Court last week decided
an important case in passing up
on the title to,abOut 1850 acres
of valuable coal and timber lands
in Breathitt county which decis.
ion was very beneficial to two of
our former Powell county citi
zens, Jerome Skidmore and his
attorney, y. I. Spencer, both of
whom now reside at Winchester.
Mr.. Skidmore had purchased the
land from the party claiming the
same by promissory title, but dis
covered after he had purchased,
that his vendor had given a bond
for title to another person, and
that there was.a suit pending to
enforce the performance of the
bond. ~
MIR. Skidmote employed Mr..
Spencer to conduct his side of the
case which has been pending since
March 1905. The decision defects
the bond, denies its enforcement
and leaves Mr., Skidmore IN pos
session with title. The property
is valued at from thirty to forty
thousand dollsfs, and 1t is said
that Mr.. Spencer's fee in the case
will be one ofsthe largest ever
paid an attorney in this section
of the State. III

A man named Lakes had been
indicted for disturbing religious
worship, the specific complaint
being that his singing was not
satisfactory-''he sang too fast. !"
When the case has been called
two or three times and IT seemed
impossible to get the witnesses,
Judge Benton with a wisdom
that would have done credit to
Soloman, suggested that he be
allowed to sing before the jury
and they could decide whether
his singing was calculated to
break up meeting. Common
wealth's Attorny Crutcher for
the prosecution, and Judge Rice,
for the defense, readily agreed
and Issacs was called for. He
said he was a little hoarse, but
taking the matter seriously,
"wOuld do his best" He ran
