shoe shop next to Winford's store this

party there will be trouble.

MUST SERVE HIS SENTENCE
James diversion Loses His Appeal in
Supreme Court-ITTigation
Case Decided.

James diversion must serve his five
years sentence for cattle stealing, ac-
cOrding to an opinion of the supreme
court handed down yesterday. diversion
was charged with stealing two heifers
July It, 1904, was tried at Fillmore, con-
victed and sentenced to five years in the
state penitentiary.
The evidence in the case showed that
the heifers belonged to Charles A and
Samuel MemmOtt and that they were
driven to Eureka and sold to butchers.
diversion claimed he bought the animals
of a stranger The owners identified the
hides of the animals in court. The at
torneyS for diversion contended that there
was no direct proof of felOniOus appro-
priatiOn, and that the trial court erred
cally upon circumStantial evidence. The
opinion is written by Chief Justice
Bartch. Justice McCarty cOHcurS, but
Justice Straup dissents. Justice Straup
holds that the instruction should have
been given.
The supreme court also affirmed the
judgment in the case of Louis Fayter
against Marian K. North and others. The
case involves about two acres of land
purchased by Fayter from Levi North,
in June, 1891. A drain ditch running from
other land owned by North made this
smaller tract desirable for gardening
purposes to which Fayter devoted it. He
also erected a house on the land.
When North died his heirs attempted
to divert the drain ditch, and Fayter ap-
pealed to the courts, holding that the
drain ditch was an easement that passed
with the land. The lower court sustained
this contention and the defendants ap-
pealed. The supreme court opinion, in
favor OF Fayter, is written by Chief JUS
uce Bartch, Justice -McCarty cOncurring.
Justice Straup dissents on the ground
that the testimony does not show the
ditch was being used as an irrigation
ditch at the time Fayter bought it.
