Garrick, however, was buried in the
abbey, as well as Betterton and Mrs.
Bracegirdle. He had suffered from a
sudden seizure of illness while making
a holiday visit to Althorp, the home of
the Spencers, and had died soon after
his removal to the famous house in
Adelphi terrace; and there was neither
resistance nor hesitation in the deans
yard when statesmen, painters and
men of letters demanded with one &C.
cord that he should be buried with the
highest honors in the greatest of
Anglo-SaXon temples.
If Betterton's had been a decent
burial, Garrick's was a solemn and
impressive ceremonial, attended by
the famous Englishmen of his day and
by a host of sorrowing friends; and
the quaint record was left in the An
rual Register for 1873: Leaving be.

record which might be repeated of
Sir Henry Irving, albeit, without the
raTenthesis, for there has never been
any doubt respecting a liberality that
was fairly prodigal The doors of the
abbey have been opened as easily for
him as they We're for Garrick, and the
solemn service there was attended by
as great company of mourning

CRAWFORD COMFY
WINS LONG FIGHT
DECISION Is FINALLY RENDERED
IN DEVILS CREEK SUIT. =
Lumber Concern Obtains Control for
Fifteen Days Each Season to Permit
Driving Operations - Feud Was
Marked with Bitterness and Display
of Firearms.
Special to Tho Journal.

Special to The Journal
Menominee, Mich, Nov. s.-The Crawford
Lumber company Of Cedar River has won its
fight for the control of Devils creek after four
years Of litigation. This case in many particu-
lars resembled the famous Deitz in Wis
consin. Robert Pluchak is the owner of small
sawmfl on the bank OF Devils creek. in Me-
s. Crawford & Sons Of Cedar River own about
900 feet OF timber tributary to the stream,
and which must be driven down the stream in
orde. to reach It's sawmills Two dams were
built on the creek in 1884 by the Spaulding
Lumber company. These dams and the stream
were used every year by the company in driving
Its logs down to the Cedar river. In 1898 it
sold out to the Crawford interests.
Devils creek runs thru portion OF the land
purchased by Robert Pluchak in 1898. op which
he built his sawmill, adjacent to the creek aud
between the two dams. We then began to fight
the Crawfords to prevent their driving their logs
down the creek. --..- ....,.
The case has been tried twice In the circuit
court and twice appealed to the supreme court
Of Michigan. While pending. Pluchak and his
sons would obstruct the creek by putting in
large rollways Of sawlogs, Telling trees across
it and chaining them to the banks: Once, it is
alleged, he blew out with dynamite the lower
dam. which the Crawfords Immediately rebuilt.
Many threats were indulged in and display
Of firearms was frequently made by Pluchak.
In the spring Of 1904 Pluchak felled big tree
across the creek to obstruct the drive. and pre-
vented Crawford's men from cutting it out by
threatening them with q Winchester. .-
When David Crawford took an ak from the
hands Of one of his men and stepped on the log
to cut it, Pluchak aimed his rifle at him and
told him If he struck a blow he would shoot.
Crawford told him to shoot and cooly proceeded
to cut the log while Pluchak swore and kept
him covered with his rife.
In the decision just rendered the presolip-
tive title of the Crawfords Is upheld and Plr-
chak is permanently en5oined from interfering
with their driving operations for fifteen days
each year. This decision BY Judge Stone is in
line with the arguments made by the attorneys
for the Crawfords, who contended that inasmucl
as the stream and dams had been operated con-
tinuously every year for fifteen years they had
a superior right tho Pluchak owned the land
overfowed by the driving operations.
