GRADY WINS THE ROAD CASE.
The Supreme Court Decides the Case
of Grady VS.. Dundon, ct. al,
in favor of Grady.

Last Monday the Supreme court
handed down decision in the road
case from Lincoln county, of c. M.
Grady VS.. Alonzo Dundon ct al.
The decision was rendered by Chief
Justice Moore, and read as follows:
''In the case of Catherine M.
Grady VS., Alorzo Dundon ct al,
the decree of the lower court was
reversed. The opinion was rem
dered by Chief Justice Moore.
This was suit of Catherine M.
Grady VS.. Alonzo Dundon, as road
supervisor, D. P. Blue, as county
judge, and M. L. Trapp and J. o.
Stearns, as county commissioners of
Lincoln county, to enjoin a threat
ened trespass. The plaintiff al
leges that she is the owner in fee
simple and for more than ten years
prior to the commencement of this
suit has been in peaceable possession
of tract of land about fifty feet in
width and seventy feet in length in
the town of Toledo, upon which
there have been erected store and
butcher shop. That the defen-
dants wrongfully claimed that a
county road had been laid out and
established across said real property,
and are threatening to, and unless
restrained, will tear down and re-
move said buildings and open the
pretended highway to her irrepara-
BILE injury, and she prays that the
threatened trespass may be per-
manently enjoined. The defend
ants alleged that at its regular term
in May, 1867, the county court of
Benton county, which at that time
had jurisdiction over the territory
now included in Lincoln county,
upon a petition therefor signed by
twelve house-holders, appointed
viewers and a surveyor, who viewed
and surveyed the county road in
question, and having made report
thereof the court at its said term
made an order establishing a county
road across said premises, in pur-
suance of which the road supervisor
opened the same, and that it had
been continuously used thereafter
as public highway until 1890,
when the plaintiff, without any
license therefor, obstructed the same
with the buildings mentioned in the
complaint.
They further allege that John
Graham, the plaintiffs father and
grantor, was the owner of the
premises in question when said
proceedings were had; that he was
one of the petitioners for the road,
and present at and assisted in its
location and from that time until
his death, in 1883, he at all times
recognized it as a duly established
highway and that the plaintiff at
tanned her title to the said premises
with notice of its location thereon.
The cause was referred to a
referee who took and reported the
evidence, from which it appears
that the defendant introduced, over
the plaintiffs objection, copy of
the order of the court of Benton
county, which recites that the
viewers and surveyor had viewed
and surveyed road as prayed for
in the petition, and that no remon-
STRANGE having been filed or claims
for damages presented, it was order
ed that the road so surveyed be
declared a public highway, and
the road supervisor was ordered to
open the same, but there is no find
ing, nor does it otherwise appear
from the record, that any notice

In the last two issues of the Com-
TER we have made mention of Messrx

the eastern bank Of the MusseI Fork
IN the western part of town. and en-
pressed the belief that its miueraI
waters could be made to flow, and m
our minds eye pictured Keytesvilie as
a future health resort.
The well is now zi8 feet deep, aneF
a stream of water flows from the tcu
as large as an ordinary sized pipe-
stem.
Owing to the funds that had been
raised by private subscription to SINK.
the weH from 1913 feet to its present
depth having been exhausted, work
was suspended by NJ. Dearmin las.
Tuesday, bat we are confidently of the
opinion that work viii be resumed
again in the near future as our people
can not afford to let the enterprise
stop where it is now.
Many of our citizens who have been
drinking the water every day, say thak
they have been greatly benefited by
its use, and especially those who are
afflicted with stomach troubles or con-
stipation.
BY all means let us sink the weiH
deeper. To do so would only cosa
a few dollars more, and may result m
an incaiculable benefit to our town.
We hope that Messrs. Thrash Bros

as possible, and then we will he
