Supreme Court Opinions.

Among the Supreme court opinions
handed down last Saturday was the
following from this county by Chief
Justice Beard:
e. G. Kirkpatrick vs.. Pricilla l..
Johnston ct al, Chancery Court,
Washington County.
Bill in eiectment filed to recover pos
session of land in Johnson City, Ten
purchased the property from one House
nessee, plaintiff alleging that he had
in 1889. The defendants set up adverse
claim under title gained under tax sale
by one Lyle. The defendants aver
that the property was bought at sale in
chancery court in Omnibus Tax sale in
1892, purchase money being paid aud
decree entered vesting title in him.
Lyle afterwards found ont that Kirk
patrick was the owner of the land in
question and offered to sell him his tax
title for small amount. 1t appears
that kirkpatrick was not made party
to the tax sale but he had knowledge
of same. When kirkpatrick refused TO
purchase Lyle's title he (Lyle) then
sold same to Johnston and wife for O
small consideration. Kirkpatrick had
knowledge of this sale and later knew
that the Johnstons were making extern
sive improvements on the place. Al
no time, however, did he make any
attempt to notify Johnston that he was
the owner of the property except at one
time he told another person to tell him
Of that fact, but the evidence shows
that Johnston was never made &C
quainted of it. All this being shown
by the record and also the fact thai
Kirkpatrick was a resident of thai
neighborhood the court declared that
Kirkpatrick was now estopped to claim
any interest in the land. Bill dis
missed.

Is This The Next Great Democrat

The October American Magazine con-
tains remarkable character sketch of
Henry Watterson's "dark horse" Gov
ernor John A. johnson of Minnesota.
Colonel Watterson, approached by The
American Magazine, has written for
that periodical statement which forms
the introduction to the article. 1t
follows:
ut happens that l have known Gov.
johnson for many years and have
watched his career with interest. He
is q most exceptional man both in
character and ability; a steady going,
level-headed man, who thinks first and
acts sfterward; man who does things
worth doing; nothing visionary, or fan
tastic about him. He is as typical an
American in his personality, in his
working methods and in his mental
processes and perspectives as may be
found among the rich progeny of the
Scotch-Irish to which the country owes
so much, being of Scandinavian origin
next after the Scotch-Irish high upon
the racial honor roll whence we have
drawn SO many of our statesmen and
soldiers. That means that he could
not fail to prove, as he has already
proven, q great vote-getter. He has
not been mixed up in any faction fight
ing. He comes from the right quar-
ter. Even as Lincoln emerged from
obscurity to take the helm, it seems to
me that this man might, so like Lin
coin in his simplicity and modesty
as well as hard uphill antecedent
experiences.
''That is all, but don't say I told
you, because I am wholly out of poll
tics and much out of favor, For yet
making presidents, SO that my words
might do Governor Johnson more harm
than good, in the event-which I take
leave to doubt-that he is seriously
thinking about being a candidate.
