SON. CUMMINGS CASE.


The record term of court of nineteen
working days closed with the report o
the jury in the Thompson Cumming
case Tuesday afternoon. The case occu
pied nearly three days and . half, ant
considerable interest was felt In 1t, o.

pended determination of the respective
rights of pleasure seekers, mill owner'
and the public on the outlet OF tennessee

village.
Monday was occupied by the defenc'
in putting In its case, with testimony
tending to show that this stream, which
was INSTRUCTED by the defendants logs
was not In its natural state navigablt
or flotable stream, but only made SO BY
the dam; and that even If It were navi
gable stream, and therefore highway
the defendants had not been guilty Of
unreasonably obstructing it, but thai
they removed the logs as soon as u
could reasonably be done.
The forenoon of Tuesday was taker
up with the arguments OF counsel ano
the instructions of the judge. Judge
Foster argued the case for the defend
ants, and Mr.. Swasey for the plaintiff
Both were logical and able arguments.
Judge Wiswell instructed the jury re
garding the rules of law by which they
should decide whether the stream in
question was, in its natural state, apart
from the effect produced by the dam, a
navigable stream, and therefore a high
way, on which all persons would have
equal rights. He asked them, In addi
ton to their verdict as between the par.
ties, to bring in special finding as to
whether this stream Is a navigable
stream, and if so, to what point 1t Is
navigable. If they found it to be navi'
gable stream, then they were to decide
whether the defendants had unneces-
sarily INSTRUCTED 1t, and If they found II
had been SO obstructed, then they were
to fix the amount of damage sustained
by the plaintiff.
About 12:40 p. N. Tuesday the case
was given to the jury. A few minutes
before 8 they reported verdict OF mot
guilty" Their special finding was that
the stream was navigable from the lake
to and including the Kimball boat house.
This boat house is about 400 feet above
the dam, and about 200 feet nearer to it
than DR.. Thompson's boat house.
This finding established that the out

verdict is also a decision that although
the defendants logs we're in a navigable
steam, they did not unreasonably block

Soon after the jury reported in this
case, court adjourned finally. This was
a very satisfactory term in one respect.

A session of the Klammeters Klub Was
held Thursday evening. Perhaps you
haven't heard of this social organization,
even though you may be a member of it;
but the Democrat was given carte blanche

at Oak Lodge, and this one was planned
there, but November's chill winds had
such force that camp lif, did not have
the attractiveness that 1t I Ossesssd earlier
in the season, hence arrangements were
made to have 1t in Engine House Hail
There were present Mr.. and Mrs. j. d.
Haynes, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Porter and
son Gustave, Misses Hattie Burnell
Maud Douglass, Carrie Hall, Gertrude
Hall. Grace Thayer, and Messrs. A. T.
Forbes, Z. S. Jones and w. G. Thayer
Miss Laura Burnell came in late and
participated In the festivities sufficiently
to remove the danger of the thirteen
superstition. At the former meeting the
ladies were hosts, but at this one tns
gentlemen entertained, aud did the
honors-likewise the work. Steamed
clans in superhuous quantity were
served, followed by custard pie, dough
nuts and coffee, with the necessary
trimmings. A few hands of whist and
general social time followed. Tit
ladies' unanimously voted that meeting
should be held real often, with tn
gentlemen q hosts.
