Action Started To Restrain Suit Against Mining
G C Hedrick and C C G Patrick filed a petition in the Raleigh County Circuit Clerk for a temporary injunction against Beckley Ice Cream Company. Beckley Ice Cream had sued Hedrick and Patrick in March for $5,000 over trespass and strip mining on a 4 acre Shady Spring tract. The petition alleges Hedrick and Stroman purchased the coal on July 12 1907 and had mining rights, with Hedrick later buying Stroman’s interest and entering a partnership with Charles C Patrick on June 15 1948. The request seeks to halt prosecutions until the injunction suit is heard at the February circuit term, with a December 1 date set for the ice cream firm’s suit and a November 17 hearing before Judge A Jerome Dailey.
