In the superior court Friday the jury
disagreed in the case of the Grays Har-
Dor Commercial Co. VS.. Chas. Neeson,
standing 8 to 3 in favor OF Neeson. The
Commercial company sued Neeson for
$2650, and the matter was an outgrowth
o. the famous suits OF Lytle Bros. against
Neesen, concerning water rights on the
Hoquam river. Lytle Bros, won the
I original action ard recovered Judgment
for costs. Later they sued The Com
mercial company, under liens on
Neeson logs, for these costs. The Com
mercal company compromised the case,
paying Lyle Bros. $500, and began
action against Neeson to recover that
sum, together with their disbursements.
Nelson's defense was that the compro-
mise was without lis knowledge or
sanction, and, that in taking it, the
Commercial company elected to settle
the matter on its own account, and
therefore had no claim for a compromise
in which he had no option. The jury
was out several hours, and disagreed as
stated.
