from them.
There was evidence contradictory of -
much of the above, but it does not so
greatly preponderate as to make it clear q
that the jury erred
The defendant company urges several
matters in bar of the suit. 1t claims it
had been the custom for years for those
driving the West Branch drive to string
a boom across the east channel at the
head of Cow Island to keep the logs
back 50 they would not jam in the east
channel. Such Il custom was not con- II
clusvely proved, but if such was the
custom. it gave no right to obstruct the
channel as against the plaintiff. The
east channel was a public highway
which the plaintiff had right to use
free from all artificial distractions not
authorized by the Legislature. | 4
Customary obstruction Of public high v
way does not create a right to obstruqt 4
The defendant again contends that it,
was necessary to string the boom as it
did to prevent the early jamnhing ni
the logs in the east channel; Iupi
| without the boom. the VI st tRX
drives would have filed inN heafF

sent to call another doctor. lie did so
and when lie arrived 10 and behold il
was none the less than one of his color

Chambers Of course refused to allow
the negro to come in and it is said that

the grip These Tablets promote a
