County Commissioners Enioined From

| County Commissioners Enioined From
5ulloing Bridge and Viaduct.--Judges
roWier and Burke have filed an opinion in the
Ease OF Kate Grlesacker against the County
commissioners OF Baltimore county, the argu-
ment of which was concluded January 18th,
granting the injunction asked for by the plain
TN to restrain the defendant from erecting an
elevated bridge or viaduct over the tracks of
me Baltimore and Potomac Railroad at the
point where it crosses the Washington turn
pike: The County Commissioners were au-
tnorlzed by an act of the Legislature passed at
the January session in 1900, to make con-
tract with the Baltimore and Potomac Rail-
road Company for building the bridge and via
quot, and they had agreed to certain plans
therefor, and had also agreed to contribute the
sum Of $500 toward the building thereof
Inc structure, as agreed upon, was to be sus-
tanned by iron framework, and was 10 have
plank floor of unequal width, with a raise on
one side and descent on the other of seven
1eet to the one hundred. 1t was contended by
the plaintiff, Miss Griesacker that such via
duct would be nuisance and dangerous to
public travel thereon that she would suffer
special injury thereby, and that the construc-
ton would involve and require physical in
Vasion of her rights and her property and
constitute taking thereof within the meaning
of the Constitution
The case has been pending for a long time
and considerable testimony was taken in sup
port of the plaintiffs contentious. 1t was
SHOWN IN the testimony that the hlllng and
embankment to be made on the western side
OF the railroad would cause dirt to be thrown
upon her property. and would cause additional
surface water to flow upon her lands and wash
mud and debris thereon, and that the struc-
ture itself would cut off and destroy entirely
her access to a certain tract of land used as a
gravel-pit, and which was source of income
to her
The court decided that the proposed struc-
ture would necessarily shut off and completely
destroy her access to her land containing the
gravel-pit, and would constitute taking of
her property within the meaning of the con-
stitution which provides that private property
cannot be taken for public use without COM
pensation first being rendered
! The Judges filed an opinion in accordance
with their views, and an Injunction will be is
sued restraining the County Commissioners
from building the bridge and viaduct untilthe
plaintiff has been compensated.
Messrs. John f. Centrum, Henry ]. Broen-
ing and John s. Biddison represented the
plaintiff, Miss Griesacker, and Messrs. J. ].
Donaldson, Walter r Townsend and Frank
|. Duncan represented the County Commits
sioners.
The case has attracted much attention. es-
pecially in the neighborhood where the pro-
posed viaduct was to be erected, and nearly all |
the residents of that vicinity are rejoicing |
greatly over the result of the litigation because
they all agree that such viaduct, hung up in
the air, with plank floor and with the grade |
mentioned would have been very dangerous to
travel and public nuisance.

 Two years ago Hooker (Indian) died and was buried near Loring. It has been the custom among the natives to give ''potlatch" in case of the death Of a relative. But as this custom is being relegated to the background with the spreading of enlightenment, something more simple comes to take its place. Hence it was that Harry Moore, brother of deceased, gave grand dinner last Thursday in commem- oration of the dead, at his home in this town. Sixty were present, in- cluding several whites. The tables fairly groaned beneath the weight of everything good to eat, and all did ample justice to the viands. Besides the dinner, some goo1 speeches were made and other ex- ercises had. After dinner the even- ing was pleasantly passed in inno- cent games and sociability.
