Supreme Court Cases.

Writs Of error have been granted by
the West Virginia Supreme Court OF
Appeals in two cases that have been
decided in the Jefferson Circuit Court.
The titles to the two suits are: c.
Z. Blue VS.. Campbell w. Blue and
others; James M. Mason, Jr., VS.. c.
+. Wall. The frst-named suit involves
an interest in the Orchard Crest farm,
near kearncysvlle, while the latter
concerns the opening Of streets through
lands fenced by the defendant in Ran
son. 49,
The same court has affirmed the ac-
ton OF the Jefferson Circuit Court in
the suit by Peter w. Rouss against
Bette A. Rouss and others. The de-
cfsion gives to Mrs. Bette A. Rouss
full and unconditional life estate in
Shannon Hill farm, where she now
resides, and the appellant, Peter w.
Rouss, has five $1,000 legacies due now
to pay and must await the Termination
OF the life estate before r.. can get
possession Of Shannon Hill.
The good roads law enacted az the
last session of the Legislature has
been attacked in the Circuit Court Of
Putnam county, and is now pending
n 'IS OupEeTle COuft on writ OF er-
ror. The question involved is whether
the road commissioners NAV take over
private property for construction Of
highways in advance of condemnation
proceedings. The State Road Commls-
sion is not a party TO the suit, BUT
being vitally interested has asked the
court for permission to file a brief IN
bhalf OF the constitutionality of the
statute.
Section l38 of the road law is the
one under fire. This section provides
that county court may proceed with
the road building without frst ascer-
tanning damages to the landowner.
This ascertainment must be made with
in sixty days. In the Punam county
caes the landowner contends that dam.
ages should be determined before the
road construction starts. The case
now pending on appeal to the higher
| court is the first one of its kind. Ii
would mean a serious disruption .cf

should section 1873 be held unconsti-

The Farmers Picnic.

The annual picnic to be held On Fri
day, June 9th, by the Berkeley County
Farm Bureau, will be at the usual place
on ]. D. VanMetre's farm, west Of
kearneysville. A very interesting pro-
gramme is being arranged Hon. w. d.
Zinn, Of Barbour county, has accepted
an invitation to deliver an address,
and il is expected that Senator Ladd,
OF North Dakota, and Mrs. Izetta
Jewell Brown, of Kingwood, this State,
will also be present and speak. AL
though at this writing the arrange
ments have not been finally completed,
il is certain that there will be good
speaking by persons of national repu-
tation. Other features of interest may
be expected. There will be one or two
aroplanes, and it is probable that op-
portunity will be given to those who
may want to fly. A moving picture
show OF the finest dairy cattle in the
country will be given in Mr.. Van
Metres big dairy barn, and pictures
will be shown of Jerseys and Ayrshires
