Z cropped up in Circuit Court today
5 when Judge W. S. Meredith called
the case of Raymqnd Barker vs.
Abraham Hirsh for trial. The case
n is a slander of . title and is based on
the old common law ruling. Chitty,
u an English law author and authority,
wrote the ruling in 1859.
). Judgo Meredith continued the
case this morning when Attorney
_ Harry Shaw, representing the de-;
fendant, objected to a last minute
declaration filed when the case was
called for trial this morning by
Lawrence Milsgrove, attorney for
the plaintiff in the action. The case
will be brought up again whoa
Judge Meredith has had a chance
to look up the law on certain points
covered in the declaration.

" first case of its kind ever entered
Vina West Virginia court In <fuotI

Musgrovo furnished the
court a law book containing the
law as written by dhitty in 1859.
Facts in the case deal with a
real estate transaction between
Raymond Barker and Mike Romino
and Victor Keleni. Attorney Muagrove
said today that Mr. Barker,
who owned a pool room in Madie

Powell became enraged as she saw
her husband when brought to the J
police station, according to officers
who were present at the time, and .
tried to beat him up. Policeraeu I
present stopped the fight, and she I
was locked up pending the trial. I
When arraigned in police court
about ten days ago on a charge
of operating an' automobile on the
city streets without an operative's
license and driving in a reckless
manner. Mrs. Powell told in open
court that she was driving hor
husband's car. When questioned <
by Mayor Conaway she told tho
mayor that she and Mr. Reese wore
man and wife. At that time Mayor
Conaway and the police officers
doubted her word, but as they were
not trying her on any other chargo
she was ldt off with a $10 fine for
reckless driving and a $5 fine for .
driving without license . I
Nothing more was thought of tho ;
case until today, when Mr. Powell
appeared in court and mado th?* 1
complaint. Tne husband of tho
woman had heard about the article
in tho newspaper teillng of his
wife's^ claim that she was married i
to Reese, and ho came to this city i
to investigate. Upon arriving hero
he learned, he said, that his wife ;
and Roesowcre living together in

It appears that Mr. and Mrs.
Powell have not lived together for? ,
tome time and that she has been ,
racking her home In this city. She .
has custody of a minor child and .
when she learned that her hus*band
was in town today she called rela- .
tivos who live at or near Mannington
and asked them to take ,the ,
child away and hide it
When faced by her husband at
the police station today Mrs. Powell
told city policemen that when she

her husband, he fould be sorry he
had come here and started the 1
trouble. Mr. Powell intimated today
that he was trying to get a di- I

Railroad Fuel
Railroad fuel loading baa given
no intimation of any decline off
the Monongah Division, where
402 cars of this type of business
were loaded yesterday. The foreign
roads continued to get the
bg*end of tho^rallroad fuel, their
Bhare aggregating 250 cars, while
the B. & 0. took the remaining
152 cars.
It is reported that more assigned
cars are going into the Morgantown
section. It is also said that
some C, of N. J., and Canadian
Pacific fuel is being loaded there,
with some of this traffic being
handled over the Western Maryland.
One hundred ten cars of railroad
fuel were loaded off the Morgan
town & Wheeling yesterday
for foreign roads, while two cars
of foreign fuel wero loaded off the
M. & K. and twelvo off the Cumberland
Division. Seventeen cars
of local railroad fuel were loaded
off the Bellngton & Weaver
spur of the Western Maryland.
Eastern Coal
While British coal is reported to
be quite a competing factor for
Northern West Virginia and American
coal generally in Boston, New
York and Pl^adelphia, there nevertheless
apears to be a right fair
tonnago going in the dirction. The
fact that British coal is disposed of
at $6.75 at Boson makes it difficult
for coal from this field to bo
mined and shipped there at a competing
figure coal operators say. It
Is almoBt reaching a stage, where
a tariff will be needed on coal, as
ridiculous as this may sound if
American coal fields can compote. I
With the bulk of tbo lako coall
