Court Refuses to Amend Injunction Against Sheriff Ward
The Raleigh County Circuit Court sustained a Turnpike motion in one suit and overruled a defense demurrer in another case involving Sheriff John C Ward.

The court also overruled a demurrer by Lee Cook and Martha Sibworth, keeping the suit alive.
