THE SYLLABUS
In the Allen & Currey Manufacturing
Company VS.. Shreveport Water =
-... works Company.

The following is the syllabus in the
case of the Allen & Currey Manufactur-
ing Company VS.. Shreveport Water
works Company. The opinion was read
by Mr.. Justice Provosty, at the session
of the Supreme Court of Louisiana held
in New Orleans Monday: -
1. A contract by which the water
works franchise of city is granted on
condition that the contractor shall sup
ply the inhabitants with water at fixed
maximum rate for private use, and shall
rent specified number of fire hydrants
to the city at a fixed rental, payable
yearly out of the corporate treasury, and
keep said hydrants in good order, with
a specified pressure of water for extin-
gushing fires, flushing sewers, engine
houses, public parks, public schools and
other public buildings, contains dou-
bic set Of stipulations and engagements
one in favor of the inhabitants inii-
vidually. for the enforcement of the per-
Torrance Of which or for the breach of
which they have right of action indi-
vidually, and one in favor of the mu-
nicipal corporation, for the enforcement
of the performance of which or for the
breach of which the inhabitants have in
dividually no right of action.
-. The municipal corporation and the
inhabitants Of its territory are in law dis
tinct, separate persons, and are not the
n1andatories Of each other for entering
into contracts for each other. From the
fact that the inhabitants are interested
that the obligations of contractors to-
wards the municipal corporation should
be faithfully complied with, or from the
fact that they as taxpayers contribute
the money with which the payments un-
der the contracts of the municipality
have to be made, it does not follow that
the inhabitants are principals in the con-
tracts entered into by the corporation,
and as such have a right Of action
thereon.
s. The above mentioned engagement
of the waterworks contractor to lease
FIRE hydrants and furnish water to the
city for the use Of her fire department
was an engagement in favor Of the city,
and not in favor of the inhabitants in
dividually;; It was not a stipulation pour
datrxi in their favor, and they have no
| right of acton thereon.

A NEGRO FIRED INTO A NUMBER
OF MEN
J. w. Mckivey Shot in the Eyes and
Young Martin in the Face.
Bird Is Still at Large.

Tuesday night party of seven white
men from Mira started to the house OF
Jim Bird, negro owning and cultivat-
ing a small farm. Bird had recently had
a dispute with Mr.. Donnnick, a mer-
chant at Mira, over a settlement of an
account. During the affray which fol-
lowed, Mr.. Doninick was beaten by
Bird, against whom there was filed a
warrant for assault. When near Birds
house five of the party halted near a
gate while McKivey and young Martin
advanced and called to Bird to come
out. Bird doubtless was anticipating
this call, and as he opened the door of
his house he fired deliberately at the two
men named. McKivey, who was clerk
of Dominick, was shot in the eyes, and
young Martin received shot near the
left eye which fortunately is not serious.
1t is feared that McKivey will lose his
sight altogether. He is at the Santa
rum under treatment.
After Bird had fired, the party of
FIVE dispersed and left McKivey and
Martin on the field. McKivey was help
less. Martin, however, fired into the
house until he had exhausted his am
munition. When the party of five re-
turned and related what had occurred
people from Mira and Rodessa and the
vicinity were summoned, but when they
reached Birds house Bird had skipped
and eluded his pursuers by crossing into
Arkansas. Before leaving his house,
Bird went on the outside where he saw
McKivey who had crawlei there for
shelter. He was almost frozen. Bird
threatened to blow out his brains and
left him after kicking him several times.
Bird is said TO be daring and fearless
negro. He was we'll armed and deter
mined on resistance to the death when
he left his home.
AS soon as the sheriiff's office was ap-
prised of the trouble, Deputy Nicholson
hurried to the scene, but he was too late
to secure Bird. There was no undue ex-
element nor threats or attempts at
lynchings as reported, as there was no
one to lynch.

cation. Form is not sacramental; the
question in every case must be simply
as to whether or not the contractants
intended to confer right of action
S. & municipal corporation being
nothing more than fictitious being, ere
ated for the sale and exclusive purpose
of administering the public interest, ev-
cry contract entered into by it is neces-
sarly so entered into ''if1 the public in
terest,' and every contract entered into
for the benefit of its fire department is
necessarily so entered into in consid-
Grafton Of the public benefit and of the
protection to property to result there
from; hence the recital in contract that
it is entered into by the corporation from
these motives does not have the effect of
making the contract stipulation pour
autrui in favor of the Inhabitants indi-
vidually, upon which the inhabitants, or
any of them, may individually bring suit.
If it did, every municipal Contract would
be a stipulation pour antAi.
f. A contract entered into by MT
nicipal corporation for supplying its fire
department with water must find its
sanction in the right of the city to de-
n1and specific performance, Or damages,
Or the revocation of the contract, for
non-performance, and not in any right
on the part of the inha bitants individ-
ually to recover images for losses sus-
tanned as a consequence of the inef-
fciency of the fire department of the city
brought about by the failure of the con-
tractor to fulfill his contract Unless
person is privy to a contract, either from
having been a party to it originally, or
from having accepted stipulation made
therein in his favor. he can not recover
damages for its breach, no matter how
directly the damages may result from
the breach; and the fact that no one else
can sue for damages, as. they can not be
sued for at all, unless by him, makes
absolutely no difference. Breaches of
contract resulting in losses for which no
one may bring suit are not of unfrequent
occurrence.
= No liability to damages in favor of
her inhabitants Or corporations lies upon
a city for the non-perf rfornanee, or neg
ligent performance, Of her duty to fur
nish water to her fire department for
protecting the property within her cor
porate limits from fire; hence no duty
rests upon her to impose such liability
upon a contractor stepping into her
shoes for performing such duty.
s. The city Of Shreveport being with
out authority make herself liable to
her inhabitants for any losses suffered
by them as a result Of her negligent dis
charge of her duty to furnish water for
the protection of their property against
fire, she necessarily is likewise without
authority to hire someone else to assume
such liability. Such assumption of la
bility would have to be paid for out OF
the corporate treasury, and the city
would only be doing indirectly what she
could do directly.

Planters Oil Mill VS.. Monroe, Sc An.
1913, is overruled. Judgment set aside
and suit dismissed.

NERVE PILLS.

!, When the head aches hard and throbs;
when the neck and eeyes grow stiff, the
face flushes or grows deadly white;
when any excitement or over effort
brings on an attack of nervous head
ache SO severe that it leaves you weak,
trembly, shaky and utterly worthless
for days, it is certain indication that
the nervous system is shattered that
resistive power is gone-that you need
medicine that will rebuild and re-
supply the lost nerve force, that will
so strengthen you that you can resist
and overcome these terrible seizures.
Such a medicine is DR.. "A. w. Chase 8
Nerve Pills, medicine that does not
relieve but goes to the root Of the
trouble and positively cures.

sick headaches-these headaches used
to play me out and leave me weak and

eyes used to get stiff and sore during
the attack and the: neck SO stiff
could hardly turn it. The Nerve Pills,
however, proved to be just what
needed and cured the attacks in a
hurry. AS a result I feel. steady in

| ~ rth Dakota wants the Minnesota
Legislature to pass a law requiring COM
mission men to make returns to their
customers for the market value of
screenings. The desire was expressed
in joint resolution from the legislature
presented. in the house today, reciting
that grain growers are "docked'' for
dirt and other foreign substances in the
grain, but when the commission men,
and elevators make returns it is only for
the grain. Screenings on oats, wheat,
barley and flax, which were formerly
thrown away, have been found valuable
as sheep food and sold for from SO to
$14 a ton. The farmers believe they
are entitled to the revenue from the
screenings. The resolution was referred
to the committee on grain and ware
house.

ing for the taxation of franchises, char

Any place where the market price of

time Of sale, or where there is no actual
delivery of stocks or commodities with

sale, comes under the provision Of the
