w. A. PRICE RETAINS
POSSESSION OF MINE
Court DissOlves the Injunction
Obtained by w. F. Coale.

Judge Robert R. Henderson, in a
lengthy opinion filed in the Circuit
Courtat Cumberland Thursday morn
ing. has dissolved the injunction of
William F. COale. secured sometime
last November against W. A. Price.
W. A. Price was in possession of the
Steyer Coal Company's coal lands and
property in Garrett county, under a
written license given him by the SteYer
Coal Company. Price had done great
deal of work preparing the coal mines
for the purpose of mining coal under an
arrangement that he was to have a
lease provided he showed sufficient
financial responsibility. The Steyer
Coal Company, sometime last Novem-
Der, revoked the license of w. A. Price,
and arranged with William F. Coale, of
Cumberland, to take charge of the
mines. Price refused to give up the
mines and Mr.. Coale filed bill in equity
in the Circuit Court for Garrett county,
and secured an injunction, compelling
Price to give up the mines. The in
junction has lust been dissolved by the
Circuit Court for Allegany county, and
Mr.. Price retains possession of the
mines.
The Court decided that Mr.. Coale mad
no such interest in the property as
would enable him to file a bill for in
junction, not having secured a lease or
secured possession of the mines.
The Court also held that before Price
could be put out of possession of the
property, that the Steyer Coal Com
panY would have to compensate Price
for the money he had spent in improv-
ing the mines and getting the same
ready for shipping coal.
