THREE THOUSAND
DOLLARS DAMAGE
The civil case of the Fisher Oil
company against Steelsmith &
Yoke was tried in the Circuit
court this term, and the jury af
ter being out less than half an
hour returned a verdict for Fish
er Brothers for $3,000 damages.
Some time since Steelsmith &
Yoke drilled in a large well in the
Elk Fork, and Fisher's owned a
lease that went up close to the
well. They started to drill on
their lease when Steelsmith &
Yoke stopped them from drilling
the well by an injunction. After
a long time the injunction ? was
dissolved and Fisher:#^ sued for
damages for being delayed in
drilling the well, for in the mean
time Steelsmith & Yoke were op
erating their well and getting the
oil from Fisher's lease. It proves
after all that injunction was quite
an expensive luxury. .
Snow, freezing, baseball post
ponements. circus agents, etc., all
in two days. If there is not to be
any spring weather this month of
April we are having strenuous
times, and a little excitement is
sometimes good for everybody.

We had snow and rain today.

Council Proceedings.
Council convened in regular
session last evening in. their cham
ber in the City Building. Mayor
Lynn ' Kirtland presided, and all
councilmen were present with the
exception of S. W. Templeton, of
the Second ward. But little busi
ness was disposed of, aside from
allowing a number of bills. The
garbage question was discussed
to some length, and finally the
matter was turned over to the '
Health committee. The disposi-j
tion of garbage is a question of
great importance to all citizens,
and the committee in charge have
been instructed by the council to
dispose of it in a way that will
give entire satisfaction to all res
idents. A derrick of the Carter
Oil company, located on a lot of
G. W. Stocking, on Virginia
street, was deemed unsafe, and or
dered repaired at once. The
Mountain State Gas company
gave notice to council that after
May 1 all gas lights in the city
would be increased in rates from
$1 per month to $4. No action
was taken in the matter, but it is
quite probable the lights will be
discontinued. Council adjourned
until next Monday night, at^
which time license to the several
saloons will be granted,
t _______
Company A Inspected.
Company A was briefly inspect
ed last evening by a special offi
cer from the United States army.
The officer did not arrive in. the
city until 10:40, and consequently
he did not have time to make a
thorough inspection. However,
he expressed himself as being well
pleased with the progress the
company is making. Notwith
standing the lateness of the hour
the attendance was large last
night, which is ample evidence
the members are all taking great
interest in the new organization.
Col. Morrison, of Parkersburg,
was present.
Circuit court is still grinding |
away, but in all probability it will
adjourn the latter part of the
month.
