BATTLE To SAVE
TREES Barred,

CHARLES TOWN, May 13.-
The trial Of the cedar cases will
be resumed Thursday. Testimony
introduced so far was mostly that
the land along the picturesque
Potomac, had been damaged at
least so per cent by the cedar re
movals.
Miss Serena K. cambridge,
owner of the farm adjoining the
Martin place, was a witness. Miss
cambridge, it developed, bravely
defended her cedars from the
cutters. Embracing the trees with
her arms, she stood vigil all one
cold February day, and at noon
when the men laid down their
axes, she promptly tossed them
over the cliff into the river. Three
State troopers removed her by
force, while the very old and
large trees, we're felled by the
cutters. Failing to prevent the
cutting Miss cambridge appealed
to the mems sense of patriotism,
by hosting large American Flags
in the trees, it was stated. but
they were felled. she said, with
out the flags removal.
On account of argument for
new trial in the Devilbliss murder
case at Berkeley Springs court
was adjourned until Thursday
morning.
