New Point in Virginia Debt Case

Washington, April 1G The
long fought Virginia-West Vir-
ginia state case was presented
to the supreme court again today
in oral argument.
The point is. what share Of the
Virginia state existing at the
time Of the formation of West
Virginia should be paid by West
Virginia.
Several years ago the supreme
court held that West Virginia
WIS liable TO some seven million
dollars to Virginia, but West
Virginia nov claims that this
should lie reduced TO two million
dollars, by reason of assets in
the hands Of Virginia in which
it should have share.

-secretaryship of the Colorado as
ISOLATION with headquarters at
Denver, but he has declined the
offer. He has been at the head
of the organization in this state
for several years and has be-
come a valuable man in the
councils of the association and it
is matter of qualification among
West Virginia Sunday school en-
thusiasts to know other states de-

Daniel BOOne'S FirStPair Of BOOts

Daniel Boone's first pair of
leather boots and leather peck
etbGok with the name of Hamil-
ton Boone written in it, are heir
looms that are exhibited at j. A.
Robinson's confectionery, store
in Follansbee, West Virginia.
The relics now belong to a
brother-in-law of Mrs. Robinson,
j. Boone Mcclure, of Martins
Ferry, Ohio, having been hand
ed down to him by his father,
Boone Mcclure. The little boots
show that they have been worn,
bat are in good state of pres
ervation. Judging by the size,
little Daniel Boone probably was
between six and seven years Of
age when he proudly stepped in
to these boots.
Daniel Boone, years after he
laid aside these boots. became
one Of the greatest Indian fight
ers of this section of the country.
The most of his battles were
fought along the Ohio river in
what is now West Virginia, Ohio
and Kentucky. He also became
the husband of Sarah Doolin, on
ly daughter of Edward Doolin,
who settled here and took up the
land on which New Martjnsville
is now located, and it appears
that he lived on the tract know n
as the Witlen estate. Some time
in 1880, the Indians massacrcd
Edward Doolin and tonk his wife
and young daughter prisoners,
carrying them down the Ohio
river Edward Doolin's remains
now repose in the garden plot
near the Witten home in this
city.
Young Daniel Boone in some
of his exploits chasing the In
dians down the Ohio river, met
the Doolins, and married the on
ly daughter who years before
had been taken prisoner by the
Indians. A deed made by Dan
iel Boone and his wife, Sarah
Boone, to Joseph and Jonn Wit
ten for 200 acres Of land where
the Witten home now stands, re-
cites that Sarah Boone is The on
