FACING DIVORCE SUIT
Lawyer KILLS HIMSELF
Veteran Of the Air Service Pre-.
fers Death to Hearing of
Case.

The usual crowd OF attorneys, court
rams and litigants were streaming into
Judge Jesse A. Baldwin's courtroom
In Chicago one morning recently.
"Huszagh versus Huszagh," called
Gus Wedemier, clerk of the court.
IF the court please, am prepared
to argue" began Attorney William
r. Alder. He was interrupted by the
judge.
"One moment have been informed
by telephone that the defendant cannot
be here" said Judge Baldwin.
But the case is set-it should"
81 have just been informed that the
defendant is dead" said the Judge.
HE committed suicide early this morn
Ing"
There was pause. Then:
81 move that the case be dismissed"
motioned Mr.. Alder.
So came the end Of the divorce suit
filed BY Mrs. Lorena Case Huszagh
against Victor L. Huszagh, twenty
nine years old, an attorney.
Shots were heard in the morning In
the Husxagh home, and when Rudolph
ID. HuszaEh, also an attorney, went
to his sons room, the young man was
dead. The suicide was believed to
have been prompted by the domestic
dificulty that had arisen between the
young lawyer and his wife.
They were married four years ago
In one Of Chicago's most brilliant ro-
mances. Some of his friends called the
young man romantic. Soon after war
was declared he enlisted in the air
service, won his wings, and was COM
missioned captain.
1t is said the romance lived until
ne threw his leather coat and goggles
In supply office and came back to
his wife at the end OF the war. Two
weeks ago Huszagh left his wife and
subsequently she filed her divorce suit.

Center Of Attraction.

Angelina was, Of all my acquaint-
ances, the most vain. Happiness for
her seemed an impossibility unless she
was the center Of attention. So when
we learned of her coming marriage
we knew that In style and display the
event would surpass anything that
had ever taken place In our town, and
we were not wrong In our expecta-
tions. Under bower of roses the
happy couple had been pronounced
man and wife and the organ pealed
forth u flood of music. at this point
we were surprised to see the bride
groom shaking hands with those near
est him. He didn't stop there, either.
but, leaving his blushing bride to face
the audience, alone, he passed up and
down the aisles Of the church greeting
all the guests Chicago Tribune.

Proceedings in the County Court.

The County Court at the November
term, which adjourned last week,
granted franchise to the Northern
Virginia Power Company to plant
poles and string wires along the Shep-
herdstown and Middleway pike from
the vicinity Of Kearneysville to Wal
per's Cross Roads. The franchise is
to continue for so years.
Orders were entered requiring
changes lin the location Of power and
telephone poles along two roads Of the
county. One of them was directed to
the Jefferson County Telephone Com
pany, and requires the company to
change certain poles from the south
side of the Harper's Ferry ard Middle
way turnpike to their original posi-
ton on the north side of the pike. The
other order affects the Northern Viz
ginia Power Company, and requires
it to change the location OF certain
poles recently planted without author
ity from the court along the Shep-
herdstown and Middleway pike.
Acting upon the request OF the
State Roads Commission, the court ap-
pointed a motor vehicle patrolman to
aid in enforcing the speed and license
laws Of the State, The court selected
]. !. Skinner for the work. The law

Game Is Plentiful.

A party of mighty hunters from this
section, including a preacher tenn
porarily located here, put in glorious
day last Monday hunting birds and
rabbits. They were so elated with
their success that they concluded to
round out the sporting event with a
grand coon hunt at night. They were
fortunate enough to bag good-sized
coon. The preacher also came across
handsome little jet black animal
whose sciettific name is Mephitis
mephitis and which is well-known for
It's power of ejecting an extensively
odorous secretion produced in two
muscular walled perineal glands. The
preacher shot and killed Mephitis
mephitis, but the latter also got in an
effective shot, which was so effective
that when the preacher got home early
in the morning his family drove him
out of the house. He had some salts
faction the next day, however, when
he sold his game for four dollars.

Sale Restrained.

The Martinsburg World says that a
temporary injunction restraining John
H. Zirkle, one of the trustees for the
defunct National Commercial Com
pany, from selling one-fourth in
terest in the Shepherd farm at Ter
rapin Neck, Jefferson county, was
granted Attorney Reuben Fine and C..
V. Cline by Judge Woods Tuesday
morning. The property was pur-
chased by Fine and Cline some time
ago from Robert L. Shepherd, James
H. Shepherd and Frank H. Shepherd.
1t formerly belonged TO VIM. M. Shep-
herd. The National Commercial
Company is the holder of a deed Of
trust on the property, and with this
in his possession Mr.. Zirkle advertised
that the property would be sold on
November %. Attorney Zirkle and
Attorney A. c. McIntire, trustees for
the National Commercial Company,
represented that concern before Judge
Woods, while the firm of Noll, Boyd
and Campbell and Mr.. Fine were
counsel for the plaintiff. The proper
~, which is situated six miles from
Shepherdstown, is said TO be worth
about $4,000. In addition to the above
proceedings, Messrs. Fine and Cline
have asked the court for the appoint
ment Of a special commissioner for
the purpose of releasing the deed OF
trust under which Mr.. Zirkle was pro.
ceeding. They contend that this deed
of trust is cloud upon their title.

Threshermen Are Peeved.

A special agent from the Office of
the State Tax Commissioner operated
among the threshing men of this
county and Berkeley last week, COL
lecting license taxes on their traction
engines. His visit has aroused the
threshers to a degree way above the
boiling point. The license law as
amended by an act of the last legis-
lature imposes license tax on trac-
ton engines according to their weight
1t varies from $50 to 500 on each
engine. None Of the threshermen
knew that any such license tax was on
the books. Some Of them had COM
pleted their years work at threshing
when the officer held them UP for the
tax. They held a meeting in the coun-
ty court room Monday morning, with
practically all the machine men from
this county and four or five from
Berkeley county present. Their opinion
Of the license law was expressed with
freedom that would convince any,
body that there are no restriction on
free speech in Jefferson county; nor
was their language toned down to Sun
day school standards. II was agreed
to employ counsel to test the law. Just
what course will be taken has not as
yet been decided, though all of them
who have not already paid are deter
mined not to pay the license until
every legal means to defeat ii is ex-
hausted. -Advocate
