Supreme Court Decision.


Robert Ashbaugh. respondent, against AL
pha Walter. appellant. Judgment OF Cir
cult Court affirmed with costs against the
appellant J. S. White, atty for respon-
dent Wise and Button att'ys for appellant
This was an action commenced in Justice
court by Ashbaugh against Walter for tear
ing down his fence. Walter. acting as path
master took down the fence of Ashbaugh by
order of the town board, they having at
tempted to lay highway through Ashbaughs
farm. and made an order that the same be
opened. The old gentleman couldn't see it. !"
and sued the pathmaster in trespass. In
Justice court the Judgment was for the de-
fendant Walter, from which Ashbaugh APP
pealed to the Circuit Court. Judge Hum
phrey reversed the Justices Judgment, and
gave judgment against defendant Walter,
from which he appealed to the Supreme
Court, where Judge Humphreys decision
was affirmed with costs against Walter.
Thus cndeth chapter of nine years strife
over little strip of neighborhood road We
are credibly informed and have good reason
TO believe. that the parties wishing the Eoad
will open the book again for chapter No. two.
Those who know Mr.. Ashbaugh saw he is
hard TO drive and will, no doubt, assist them
in making the next chapter equally interest
ing as the last.

The County Assessment.

In the tabular statement of the county
assessment, published two weeks ago, the
price per acre for the town of Oak
Grove was given at 1918. The correct
figures are 1915. We publish the state
ment again this week with the correc.
ton made.
Our correspondents, A. NJ. and ARGUS,
are enjoying a little discussion on the
assessment question. We are not aware
that anything serious has been brought
TO light thus far. The assessment ap
pears to be just, fair and equitable, and
we have heard no fault found with the
board, beyond the usual criticism which
matters of so much interest to every tax
payer naturally bring forth.

A Temperance Candidate.

The State ticket is still the theme of
much speculation by the press of both
parties. One after another hoists the
name Of favorite for some place on the
ticket, for reasons that are duly and
properly set forth. One section claims
the candidate for Governor, another the
Lieut. Governor, because they have
been ignored in the past in the distribu-
ton of public Offices The voters of
this or that nationality, ask a recogni
ton of their services by bringing for
ward representative candidate. And.
so it goes. Almost every county in
the state, and every foreigner in the
country expects, nay. demands a place
Cor our man" on the State ticket. =
But it does not end here. The various
organizations are bringing out their can
didates. The Good Templars are espec-
tally active, and their leading journals
60 not hesitate to make the very modest
demand to run the next election on a
purely temperance issue. Politics must
be ignored, parties wiped out and the
next platform be a purely temperance
platform. This is all wrong. While
we entertain the highest respect for the
Good Templar order and freely extend
our aid and sympathy to the friends Of
the temperance cause in the noble work
in which they are engaged, we can but
believe they are working injury to them
selves and their order by entering the
political arena. We want temperate
men TO occupy official station, but we
don't want a man elected as Governor
OF this State whose only pledge to the
people is the temperance pledge. Let
temperance be qualification for Office
but for the good of the State and we'll
being of the Order make it not Mequal-
ification for official position.
Political parties have ruled this nation
and will rule it as long as it exists a repub
lie. Every faction or secret organization
that has stepped into the arena has gone
down to rise no more.
The autiMssouic party swept the
land like a whirlwind, but the excite
ment soon past away and it sunk into
oblivion. The Know Nothing faction
arose, sounding its war cry, " Down with
the foreigners" Put none but Ameri-
cans on guard" aud obliterated for a
time all party lines, but it too went
down, and to- day you will scarcely find
a man who has the courage to publicly
declare that he was a Know Nothing.
So, it has been with every side issue,
and so it will be. The maelstrom of
politics engulphs them all.
When the /. o. of G. T. take the
same active part in public affairs and at
tempt to dictate the policy that shall
govern us, and the men who shall rule,
it will share the same fate.
II the Good Templars wish to exer-
else controlling influence in the selection
of candidates let them as body resolve
not to support any man for Office who is
not temperate man. The conventions
of both parties will doubtless heed their
action in making their nominations
But to presume to hoist a temperance
banner, rally temperance party, and
nominate temperance candidate is the
height of folly.

admitted to the Bar.

Mr.. Charles SMITH passed an excel
lent examination at the special term of
court, last week, and was admitted to the
bar. His examination was thorough
and well calculated to test severely his
qualification for the practice of his pro-
fession, as we'll as his knowledge of the
law. Mr.. S. for some months past has
been studying IN the office of White &
Button. A. thorough student, and a
young man Of excellent habits and tire
less industry, we predict for him a high
rank in bis chosen profession.
Hon. E. II. IVES was also admitted
to the bar, passing very creditabe ex-
animation. Mr.. IVES hasofhad some
practical experience in the profession and
his admission is, therefore, secondary
matter. He may be called self made
lawyer, his first experience being in con-
Quoting his own suits and trying his own
causes.

Poor BoUGHToN.-It is with feelings
of deep sorrow that we learn of the
death of Marvin H. Boughton, com
rade in the old sixth Wisconsin. One
report says that he was killed on an
island in the Mississippi while trying to
snub raft. The La Crosse Democrat
intimates that he was murdered by one
of gang of rHfiians wko Turk about
dark places on the Mississippi and plum
der anything that comes in their way.
There is something unspeakably sad in
in the death of a man who passed
through four years of such war as that
of the rebellion. Marvin was one of the
best of boys, loved and respected by all
the comrades. The death and removal
of several Company B. boys has lessened
our desire to visit Prescott. Poor Bough-
on.-B. r.. Falls Banner.
Information has been received by
the relatives of the deceased in this city,
which leaves no doubt that the injuries
were purely accidental, sustained while in
the act of snubbing raft. Also. that
from the time of the accident till death
interviewed, all the care and attention that
circumstances would allow, were rendered
the dying man; and afterwards, the body
was properly cared for. This is very
consoling to the relatives and friends, as
many contradictory reports have been
ahoat.
