Damages in the Sum of Sill, 6OO
Awarded Auto Accident Victim

Damages in the sum of $11,600
have recently been awarded Miss Ger
trude I. Conrad in the Circuit Court
of Kanawha county, W. Va, for the
injuries sustained by her in an auto
mobile accident at Red House, Car
rett county, early last November.
Miss Conrad and Alva Williams, Of
Ohio, were driving to Oakland to be
married when their automobile collid-
ed with truck owned by the Mathews
Storage Company of Charleston, w.
Va, at point on Route so immedi-
ately west of Red House. Williams
was instantly killed and Miss Conrad
so badly hurt that for long time it
was thought she would not recover.
Suit was instituted against the stor-
age company by U. Grant Williams,
brother and administrator of the de-
ceased man, for himself in his capac-
ity of administrator, as we'll as for
Miss Conrad, and on May 26 Myron
B. Hymes, of Buckhannon, and Judge
]. M. Woods and Thomas Jackson, of
Charleston, attorneys for the plain
tiff and defendant company, came to
Oakland to take the dispositions of
Oakland and Garrett county people
who were familiar with some of the
details of the accident.
The dispositions were taken before
Frederick A. Thayer; Jr., notary pub
lie, and Misses Coral E. McRobie and
nellie Nethkin, and were returned to
the Circuit Court at Charleston where
the case was tried in June, resulting in
verdict as above stated for Miss
Conrad, and a compromise verdict of
$4,000 for the administrator of the
deceased.
According to attorneys for the
plaintiffs this is one of the largest
awards of damages made in Kanawha
county for several years past. =

EVANSVILLE NOW HAS
SUPPLY OF NATURAL GAS
Long Looked For Convenience
Turned Into Mains Tuesday

Grantsville-on-the-Pike (Route 40),
had added another convenience to its
civic attractions within the past week,
the latest innovation being the intro
duction of a long-looked for conven-
fence enjoyed by comparatively few
Maryland towns of the size of Grants
ville-natural gas.
This convenience, which is only APP
preciated by the housewife and those
engaged in various trades where a
heat unit is utilized, was turned into
the town mains on Tuesday by the
Manufacturers Heat and Light Com
pany, which had been engaged for the
past three weeks in laying its pipe
lines from the Pennsylvania State
line, few miles north of Grantsville,
to the town where mains are installed
and those who are prepared to use the
product are already enjoying the cor
veniences it affords. Others who have
not yet completed the necessary pip
ing from the street lines to their
homes and places of business are hur-
rying the work forward as fast as
possible.
With an electric service day and
night, the early installation of water
and sewerage system in the town,
Grantsville will soon become ultra
modern and will rival any town in
the country for it's beauty, the conven-
fences afforded and the hospitality of
it's residents.
