spans gave way precipitatinE nifty head OF
cattle into the river, distance OF about
| ffty feet. The river is up and many of the

The supre ne court and court OF appeals
are at arms length on two points. Inc
court of appeals holds that justices OF the
peace cannot foreclose attachment liens on
real estate. On yesterday the supreme
court oyerruled their decision, holding ad'
yersely to them. To-day the court of APP
peals decided directly to the contrary to
what the supreme court decided in Delany
VS.. the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railway
in regard to what constitutes final judg'
ment. Thus we have two directly opposite
decisions upon two separate points OF law,
which goes far to show that no civil juris.
diction should be vested in the court OF
appeals.

lies.
