Supreme court has affirmed the
judgment of the lower court in
the case of w. A. Sifers VS.. o.

Sifers sued to recover damages
to his property by sheep belong
ing to johnson. The evidence
showed that Sifers had his prop
erty enclosed and that the sheep

also that pasturage within two
miles of his residence was de-
stroyed by the sheep. In the
lower court he was awarded 800

declined to take.
