BOYS MAY CLIMB TREES
Unique Decision of State Supreme
Court in the Case of Willie Tenn
pie by Next Friend, VS.. the Nc
Comb City Electric Light & Pow
er Company

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. Io-The
time honored privilege of small boys
to climb trees is a legal right, ac
cording to a decision rendered in the
Supreme Court last evening, and this
pastime of childhood must be re-
spected accordingly
The decision is the most unique
that has been rendered by the State
tribunal at this term 1t was handed
down by Chief Justice Whitfield, and
his utterance, in written form, was
very earnest and pointed.
The style of the cast was Willie
Temple, by next friend, VS.. the Nc
Comb City Electric Light & Power
Company, from the circuit court of
Pike county. Willie is an eleven-year-
old boy, and several months ago,
while climbing scrubb oak tree, with
low and overhang1ng branches, he
struck an insulated live wire and was
badly burned by the electric current.
A demurrer to the declaration was
fled and sustained III the lower court
and the Supreme Court now reverses
| this decision, declaring that the case
| should have been submitted to jury.
| On argument of the appeal the cor
poration set up the plea that it could
not be reasonably expected to con-
lecture that small boy would climb
that particular tree, and that there
| fore no legal liability existed Chief
Justice Whitfield pointed out that
] nearly all small boys climb trees, and
! this tree, according to the descrip-
! ton furnished, was particularly in
viting; that it was in a neighborhood
! where children were in the habit of
j playing, and they haw a legal right
to climb it if they wanted to, for peo-
pie have right to the atmospheric
/ space above the street, as we'll as the
privilege of staying on the ground
| that the failure of the company to
proper1y insulate the wire constitute
| ed degree of negligence that rem
dered it liable for damages

OWL. PRESIDENT INDIG-
NANT OVER POLICE RAID
Says That He Thinks it is a Pretty
State of Aairs When Officers Can
Break Into Gent]e1nens Club and
Interfere Witt Fr1oceut Pleasures
of a Duly Chartered Organization.

Vicksburg.- President Per Ries. y
the Independent Order Of Owls.
which club was raidcd by a squad d
police officers. headed by Capt. ] a.
Railey last Saturday night about ten
O'Clock, was very indignant Sunday
morning
In the police court JUDGE Dickson
postponed the hearing OF those who
were placed under arrest. Attorney
Harry Coleman being engaged in a
case in the Circuit Court and thereby
could not appear in the city court.
President Ries said: 81 think that
it is a pretty state of affairs when
officers can break into a gentlemens
club and interfere with the innocent
pleasures of the members of the or
ganization
81 was surprised to think that Capt
Railey would commit such an act, al
though | suppose now that he IS
convinced there was no unlawful act
being committed at the time this
great raidwas made, as we were
merely playing a social game, and
insisted upon the hand being played
out. before disseminating.
President Ries said further: ''I told
Capt. Railey of he had knocked, OF
rung the bell, he would have beer
admitted to the club. To show how
little attention the gentlemen present
paid to the raid. we did not know
the door had been broken open. Il
is a light lattice work door. the mair
entrance to the club being wide open
We have chartered social club. the
charter being granted by the State Of
Mississippi, and we keep regular
hours. Our electric light bill for last
month. eight lights, mind you, wa;
only S5.25. so that shows that We
done keep very extravagant hours il
the Owls Club
President Ries insisted upon a visit
being made to the club rooms
which are three, neatly papered, and
we'll ventilated rooms, the suite be
ing located on Washington stree'
over the Woodbine saloon. Here
President Ries showed the rather in
teresting library of the club. Sixty
volumes, among which were seer
works by Bacon, Swift, Bunyan
Locke, Lamb. Scott. Bulwer ant
ing table with the latest periodicals
and daily papers, indicated somewhat
of a. literary locality.
President Ries wished attention
called to the charter of the oreari
cation. which hung conspicuously or
the wall, upon which about sevent,
names of the members appeared
President Ries says that the members
OF the club occasionally indulge II
social game" and he defes Capt
Railey TO prove that his raid vii
prove to the contrary.
When Capt Railey, who was ac-
