Action Against Norfolk And
Western Railway Company Is
NOn-Suited In Trial Thursday
Superior Court Closed On
Thursday After Disposal
Of Several Cases

The May-June term of superior
court for the trial of civil cases
came to a close on last Thurs
day when the case of T. G. Bowie
against the Norfolk and Western
Railway company was non-suited.
There was considerable inter-
est in the case since it involved
valuable property turned over to
the Norfolk and Western Railroad
company by the West Jefferson
Land company at the time the
railroad was built here.
The plaintiff contended that
the property was not being used
FOR the purpose for which it was
given. Upon hearing the evil
dence, the Judge intimated that
he would hold against the plain
tiff and the plaintiff then took a
voluntary non-suit paying the
costs.
Another case disposed of on the
closing day of the court was that
Of Mrs. Rose Latham VS.. R. j.
Yoder. Mrs. Latham was award
I'd 1908.
Judge Will Pless presided.
