Complete records have been kept of all expenditures In Cabin Creek district, which open to the inspection of the public. Elk District The bond issue in Elk district of $395,000 was voted in 1919.

Kelly was a patrolman at the i of the killing, stationed in lower Kanawha street. In shooting at the tire of an automobile, from the corner of Kanawha and Alderson streets, a bul- jet from his revolver either glanced from the asphalt pavement or he was shooting too high, and struck Bell Pringle. who was walking along the street. She died a few minutes later after being taken to the hospital. The case of Maggie Thomas, charged with the murder of Ole Matthews in a lower Kanawha street hotel, will also come up at this term of court.
