Tho Famous Dock Case-other Cases-End
Of Long Term.
continued from last wcek.)

The case of VIM. Vane and wife vs.
Geo. II. Jones, defendant, was one OF
the most important OF the distric,
court term just closed. The facts in
the case are substantially as follows:
VIM. Vane owns the greater part Of
the tOwnsite Of Newport, including
the territory on which a dock was
built by Geo. II. Jones, the captain
Of two steamboats, which ply on the
Pend d'Oreille river. A road through
gully leads down to the dock
through block 2l, Of Vane's tcwnsite.
This road was used by parties haul
ing to and from Jones' dock, and the
efforts Of the prosecution were IT,
prove that this roada was being
used over Vane's land, by Jones for
private purposes. Also that the pos
session of the dock by Jones, had pre-
vented Vane from leasing or selling
the land for mills or factories. Hence
Vane sued for damages of $4,000.
The trial Of the case began May
lst and ended on the Sth. 1t was
tried by II jurymen, one of the IL be-
ing excused in the middle of tn,
trial. II. L. Stephens and G. L.
Heitman were attorneys for the plain
tlffs and Edwin McBee and M. S.
Lindsay for the defendant. All the
witnesses in the case were placed TN
der the rule OF exclusion. Their
were fifteen witnesses for the plaintiff
They were Harry Saddler, D. B. Nc
Donald, Frank Howard, j. S. Felt.
Jacob Martin, j. w. Cusick, VIM.
Vane, T. L. Quarles, George Goodhue,
Hugh Kennedy, John McGinnis, d.
w. Quick, Charles Luce, Elizabeth J.
Baker and Ed. Sappington. The tes-
timony was intended so prove that
the gully road had never been used
until cleaned out and used by Jone.
when he built the dock in 1900. The
testimony for the plaintiff was fin
ished on May 5th.
The defendant brought in 20 wit
nesses to prove that the gully roat
was recognized public road and hat
been such for over 10 years. The.
were, M. M. Sammons, II. p. Scott, ]
w. Ashp. ugh, Thos. Norton, Osca
Melder, J. w. Pruitt, S. l.. Smith
John Lyons, Gus Melder, NJ. S. Lind
say, Il. M. Knowlton, Geo. II. Jones
Homer Blanchard, j. w. Westfall, S
r. Savage, VIM. Ashley, Jr., Samue
Heptonstahl. T. w. Norton, Ernes
Thompson and Joe Porter. The tes
timony of defendant was in direc
contradiction OF that of plaintiffs.
The court denied the plaintiffs ap
plicaton for an injunction agains
the defendant for using the road
which was proven a public highway
but ruled that the defendant be pei
petually enjoined from using tn
dock, which was proven to be Of
plaintiffs territory. The question o
damages for use of the dock was sub
mitted to the jury, which rendered
verdict for the plaintiffs, awarding
them damages in the sum Of $949
AS the case now stands the defendan
holds that il the road was dedicate'
to the town the territory on whicl
the dock stands was also dedicated
with the townsite.

The 3 Essential Points
of the BrattIeboro"
Cushion Sole Shoe.
Feature No. I.


The distinguishing feature of
the /" Brattleboro Shoe is that
it contains a thick felt pad inner
sole of pure, clean white wool,
which makes soft, easy cush-
ion for the sensitive foot to rest
on, keeps out all dampness, and
prevents the jar and jolt that
tire the feet and wear out the
nerves of the whole body.
Feature No. 2.
Besides this rest-giving inner
sole, the leather outer sole is so
made as to be peculiarly flexible
and yielding, responding to every
movement of the foot. 1t has
the finest and softest of upper
feathers, low common-sense
heel, and is hand-sewed.
Feature No. 3.
The last is built on the natural
lines of the foot, so as to relieve
the strain at sensitive points.
1t is full in the waist and over
the ball of the foot, where room
is most needed, and at the same
time it is shapely, graceful and
stylish.
Here is a combination which
gives both comfort and service in
degree which we have never
seen put in any other shoe.
