BANKRUPT CASES

  Martinsburg, W Va - April 5
  A bankrupt case adjudicated in the US Court here was that of S H Liller, of Hardy Co, whose liabilities are about $7,500 with assets of some $6,000.
  In the matter of Max Shearer, bankrupt, argued Wed by Keyser attorneys in the court, Judge Dayton denied the compromise offer heretofore made by the bankrupt and ordered Trustee W H Griffith to make a sale of Shearer's stock of merchandise or other property coming into his hands by virtue of said trust, the bidding to be started at the offer of $7,300 made by Louis Kline of Cumberland, for the stock of goods.
The other property and household goods of Shearer will be appraised and two lots at Rockwood Pa will be sold. Shearer failed at Piedmont with heavy liabilities and endeavored to effect a settlement on a basis of twenty cents on the dollar, but larger creditors objected.

COL ROOSEVELT TO SEE US

Good Friday opened in Keyser emphasized by the unusual, a happening apt to make that opening memorable regardless of a divergence of opinion as to the actual goodness it may bring to the day.
On the previous evening news circulated the hotels, public resorts and streets that, at an early hour the next morning Ex-President Roosevelt, on a homeward bound, would give a breathing moment at Keyser for a twenty minute's address from the rear end of his railroad coach. All classes, creeds and parties acted in good will upon an opportunity for seeing the most widely acknowledged curiosity, and in many respects the most richly equipped student among leaders of men, ever seen in the lime light of this town's history. An hour in advance of the scheduled arrival the ample grounds curving the front of the railroad building showed a continuous jam of spectators sober in its desire to see what it had never seen, that and that alone.
After much waiting the train steamed gracefully down the long stretch in the bright sunshine of a perfect spring day. Before the pause of the panting engine, from the steps of the hindmost car, a man of a thickly built, muscular frame, wearing glasses, could be seen gesticulating in strenuous efforts to make himself heard by the circle of humanity along the track. We looked at the "Man of Destiny", twice president of the Republic, reaching the third time in defiance of established custom for the reins of supremacy and the hero of a famous battle of "wind mill" actualities; and then in bewilderment to the motionless line of people reflecting, perhaps, every shade of popular thought today visible in this campaign of presidential election. If that vast gathering was either a compliment or an endorsement to the distinguished visitor who had worn the highest honors the greatest people of the world could confer. The fact was strangely hidden.
No lifting of hats, no clapping of hands nor stamping of feet - simply a gratified gaze upon that they were there to see.
The Ex-President strikingly resembles his pictures in papers and publications that have been seen for years over the land. His dress was that of the modest taste of the average business gentleman. While his face may exhibit more of the bluff man than of parlor refinement, it often lightened with suggestions of good fellowship and of an all round man, ready to lend a smile or repel a thrust.
His neck is short and large, the shoulders broad and firmly set over a stout body, while the glasses and gold chain impress you as much as a part of the face as is the nose or chin.
His voice defied his concentrated strength to make it carry beyond the few immediately about him; it was weak and husky from over strain.
Though anxious to catch the drift of his address, I could from my distance, clearly hear only this declaration, made with an extended hand and an up-lift of the form, "I care not how good a man may be, if he lacks the courage of his convictions he is not worth his salt." This I interpreted was a broadside discharge against the fortifications of Pres Taft. Personal pronouns were the glittering sparks flashing in fast succession throughout the brief speech, as if designed to show the American public how silly it has been in seeking a way to rescue ex-presidents from oblivion, and to give the world at large a modern meaning of the epitaph written by an ancient people upon the tomb of its greatest chief: "Alexander is not dead; he is living beyond the stars."
