The man on the stage who does the
trick of escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits to the bonds with a smile. He
knows he can get out of the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man IN
the woods and let Indian captors bind
him to tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every houE about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver kidneys, etc. The
folly of mankind is TO passively submit
to the fastening Of these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause
arouses fear.

ais. Rescript by Whltehouse, j.
The personal statement Of one of the
county commissioners that the aboard
supposed they were assessing full dam
ages for crossing the land described In
the petition" is manifestly inadmissible
10 form and competent In substance
and cannot be received as evidence to
control or modify the record of their
judgment. Nor does the representation
contained in the plaintiffs petition, that
he was the owner Of the land therein de
scribed, have any necessary tendency to
show that the commissioners awarded
full damage to him as sole owner of the
lot. Whether or not the petitioner Is the
owner Of the land described, and the ex.
tent Of his ownership, are questions of
fact to be determined by the commission
ers. Title to the land constitutes the
foundation to the claim for damages.
The written application was signed by
the plaintiff, Enoch +. Pennell. The
case fails to show that she ever made
any written application to have her dam
ages assessed, and therefore fails to show
that the county commissioners had any
Jurisdiction or authority to estimate any
damages she may have sustained. In
the record of their Judgment upon the
petition of Enoch r. Pennell, the COM
