SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Consent Established When Aid is Give
and No Protest is Made.

Consent Established When Aid is Given
and No Protest is Made.
The Supreme Court has decided the
case of Jerome Churchill, appellant, VS..
IL. Banmann. respondent, an action to
restrain the defendants perpetually from
diverting Pine Creek by means OF dam
and ditch and also to abate the dam
as nuisance and recover damages al
legged to have been suffered by plaintiff
in consequence of such diversion of the
water in the years 1887 and 1888.
The case has been before the court on
an appeal from the judgment, on the
judgment roll, and the judgment was
affirmed on the ground that the trial
court found, as fact, that the plaintiff
had consented to all the acts complained
Of, and the present appeal is an order
denying plaintiffs motion for new
trial.
The Supreme Court decision says that
only two points need be considered.
First, is the finding of plaintiffs consent
to the acts complained of justified by the
evidence? Second, did The court err in
refusing trial by jurys The court de-
cides that the evidence justified the find
ing and that the denial was justified.
The order is therefore affirmed.

B. w. and John Cavanaugh and II. d.
Bagwell of this city for the recovery of
the racers Addie Chapman and Quirt. or
5000 ID coin, the sum at which he valued
them, and the case came to trial yesterday

Winters thoroughbred stallion Joe
Hooker. He placed them in charge of
Bagwell, who, he alleges, acted as the
authorized agent or employe of Winters.
Subsequently Bagwell sold the colts to
the Cavanaughs, in order to satisfy al
legged unpaid demands against Dixon,
and claims to have the latter's written
authority so to do, which Dixon disputes.
A. l.. Hart is Dixon's counsel in the
case, and ]. b. Devine and Hiram w.

case has not been concluded.

about st cents. Several bales have passed
through our town going to market, three
bales on one wagon this morning.
There were two deaths near Jonesville
last week. Silas Little, son of Mrs.
Amanda Little, who was about Ii years of
age died with fever. lie was buried at New
Hope church by the side of his father and
five brothers and sisters, making row of
seven graves from that family. Mrs. Lit

the railroad and one of her sons was killed
by the accidental discharge of his gun while
hunting.
Mrs. Mary Burlington, wife of w. NJ.

troubled and refused to re comforted be-
cause their dogs were no more. On a GER

the penalty for their intrusions. Every
body didnt carry out the divine injunction
to weep with those that weep, but on the
other hand there were many that were re-
joicing
Last Saturday night somebody went into
the lot of Mr.. Sam Littlejohn and stabbed
his mich COW, making long ugly gaslr in
her flank. The cow perhaps will recover
but it seems that the perpetrators of this

On the same night Mr.. Munro Ward )
saddle was stolen from off his horse while
hitched to n rack in our town. Mr. Wood
went out on the Glenn Springs road to look
around for his saddle and he was met by
three white men near the corporate line
who took his horse by the reins and laid
violent hands on him and threatened to kill
him and he thinks he would have been
fouly dealt with but for the timely appear
ance of two or three negroes who come
a'ong and took his part and relieved him.
