The regular November term OF circuit
court opened Tuesday morning with
Hon. w. II. O'Brion, Judge, OF Ripley,
presiding. A considerable amount Of
business was transacted and the term
last until Friday. 1t was expected that
the term would be much longer, but two
important suits In which many witness
es were summoned, we're not tried. One
was the Rafrerty-PoOl ejectment case
which has attracted considerable inter
est and which was continued until this
term. Other important cases in which
more than one hundred witnesses were
summoned was the damage suits Of A.
J. Fall against Everett Starcher, and A.

Starcher, we're compromised and settled
out Of court. These cases grew out of
forest fires which destroyed some fine

ing deemed excessive by the state road

HON ALFRED e. KINNEY

A wave OF the deepest regret spread
over this community Wednesday when
IL was learned that Hon. Alfred L. Ken
ney, OF Parkersburg. had died Tuesday
evening at nine o'clock. The news OF
his death came in the midst of busy
term OF circuit court, when his friends
and associates OF many years we're busy
with important cases, and pail of sad.
ness hung over the court room in which
Mr.. Kenney was so familiar a figure.
The illness which was responsible for
the death of this loyable man dates
back to July LIST when he was stricken
with apoplexy. For some time prior
TO date his general health had not been
good, but on the occasion OF his last
visit here his friends were cheered with
his improved appearance and with his
hearty assurance that he was getting
better.
Alfred Il. kenney was born In ZaneS-
vile, Ohio, sixty years ago. and came
with the family to Burnings Springs
when a mere youth. AS a young man
he was associated with the McConau
gheys on the merchantile business AT
Burning Springs, BroOksviile. Richard
son, Tanner and other places. He at
tended Georgetown University, Wash
ington, ID. C. and later OH located In
Grantsville for the practice OF law
business interests turned his attention
from his profession. and he became
prominent in the development Of the
oil and gas industry In this section OF
the state. No one man has done SO
much for the ell and gas development of
this county as has Mr.. Kenney. At one
time he owned leases on some of the
richest territory In this section, and he
was untiring in his efforts to interest
outside capital in the development OF
Calhoun county.
In public life Mr.. Kenney displayed
energy and acumen that made him q
leader among his associates. He re-
presented this county for five terms la
the house OF delegates and was one OF
that body's most influential members
So popular was he with the people OF
this county and so well known was his
ability that he remained undefeated IL
political contests I'm this county, except
once when the pressure of business af-
fairs and other considera tions kept him
from the county until the eve of the
primary.
When the dark wave Of oblivion have
erased the marks left by many other
men, the statutes erected in our hearts
to the memory of Alfred Kenney will
stand forth brightly. A congenial.
courteous, kindly man, the only recol-
lections of whom will be sweet and
tender.
Mr.. Keney was a devout and consist
ent member Of the Catholic church. He
is survived by three brothers, Amos e.
kenney of Spencer. DIR. L. J. Kenney OF
Washington, ID. c., and DIR. George w.
Kenney Of brooklyn, n. Y, and four
sisters, Evylin Kcnney at home, Miss
Elizabeth Kenney of Buffalo, n. Y.
Sister Mary Baptise and Sister Mary
Angela, both of the Visitation academy
of Parkersburg.
Funeral services were held at ST.
Xavier's Catholic church. parkersburg

made in the old Catholic cemetery in
