II. Dart Albert Young, William Boggess
and Adolph Hartz The case grew out
OF an act on the part of the defendant,
who lives in the town of Canoe Creek,
in 1888. 1t seems that the defendant, in

in such manner as to cause the water
to flow into the public highway, and
thereby obstruct the use of the road. The
town of Canoe Creek, on this ground
therefore asks for damages.
