state is so hard for delicate stomach to
assimilate. The fiber is so close that the
digestive fluids do not readily act upon it..

G. FL. Gates furthur contends that
all the lumber shipped from the mill
from the time he claims to have leas-
ed it from Zeigler until it was trans
fered to the Bossier Lumber Co. to
the plaintiff at Shreveport or to the
firm of Parker, Mcclellan & Company
ought to be credited on the price of
the mill to plaintiff and not ON the
account to plaintiff and the firm of
Parker, Mcclellan & Company for cash
by them advanced and merchandise
and supplies by them furnished for
the operation of the mill In the
meantime.
We think that the evidence fails
to support this theory of the defen-
dant, C. II. Gates, in this respect,
and that the machinery in dispute
has not been paid for either by
Gates & Hulse or by c. H Gates.
Who alleges payment must prove it.
The questions of accounts between
the parties of this suit were not re-
quested by the lower court, but the
right of the parties to sue for any
outstanding Indebtedness which may
exist between them was reserved.
This is sufficient to preserve for
future judicial determination what
ever rights either party may have to
determine the state of accounts be-
tween them. We have therefore re-
Trained from making any invidious
comparison of, or animadversion
upon, the conflicting evidence in the
case in ssany manner affecting those
reserved rights.
We think that the decision of the
District Court in plaintiffs favor on
the sole issue of the ownership of
the machinery in dispute is correct.
For these reasons it is therefore
ordered, adjudged and decreed that
the Judgment of the District Court
appealed from be affirmed, and that
the appellants pay cost of appeal.
