NOT COMING TO GREEHBRIER.

1t was reported i'm several papers
last week that the trial of G.. Frank
keeney, charged with participation
in the armed march in August and
September, 1921, had been sent by
Judge j. NJ Woods to Greenbrier
county,. This is not true for the
reason tsiat final decision in the
matter was not made until last Sat-
urday and when dnade the case was
sent to Morgan county and is tifus
RETAINED in Judge Woods jurisdic-
ton, as Morgan county is one of the
three counties composing his circuit
1t is reported that neither side
finds fault with Judge Woods de-
cisions and that in his retaining the
cases in his own circuit much labor
will be saved in as much as he has
familiarized himself with the law
pertaining to the miners cases
whereas if they were removed to
another circuit the Judge trying
them would have the work he has
done to do over again.
Judge Woods has been highly
complimented for his decisions in
the cases which have been before
him by all concerned.

stroycd by fire last Saturday MORN

that the volunteer fire fighters were
almost powerless.

of the building escaped but failed
to save any of their belongings.
BY the efforts Of the volunteer fire
fighting force, the blaze was con
fined to the Collins store, which
burned for nearly three hours.

LARGE CONCRETE BRIDGE.

Connecting the historic hills of
Virginia with the District of Col
umbia, where the waters Of the Po-
tome lap the staid old streets Of
Georgetown, the new Key Bridge
VIII be thrown open to public use
this coming January.
The magnificent structure lends
its charm to the beauty of WASH

duct Bridge, with its wealth of his
toric memories. passes out of eX-
iStence.

the officer in charge being Major NJ.
&. Tyler. L. S. Army Engineers.
Congress appropriated S2,5OO,OOO
for the preparation of the plans,
the purchase of he land and the
actual construction of the bridge.
The cost of building the bridge will
come we'll within this figure.
The bridge is one of the largest
"oh uStlu Cd VI IIS\ hlIQ Ill Inc united
States. 1t contains nearly 10000
cubic yards of concrete, just about
10000 more cubic yards than is con
tanned in tiIe Connecticut Avenue
Bridge. The length Of the bridg, in
Guiding the retaining walls, is t.
$40 feet. The width from edge to
edge is seventy feet, and the height

and materials had begun to arrive
on the location several months be-
fore that date. The bridge is con-
Structcd entirely Of concrete and
contains seven spans. 1t gradually
slopes from its highest point at thc
center span to the street levels at
either end of the bridge. Consider
ing the magnitude of the operation
the Key Bridge has been completed

he carried ii suggested that it must
be something which he was fearful

his teeth and carried il inside the
yard and up to the door, where,
with every appearance of delight
and qualification and all the indica-

called Mr.. Farley'S attention 10 his
