tween Neiehbors.
Problems worthy Of Solomon's acu'
men are often submitted to these rural
! arbitrators. justices Of the peace. In
the Macon county Q1o.) archives IS a
case of this sort:
Timothy kain. farmer Of Easley
township. set out some watermelon
vines which grew so luXuriously that
! they t.,cSpasSed upon the field of his
nei@hbor. Felix Hopper. When garner.
in" timc came kain's attempt to har-
vest his runaway product was rebuked
by Hopper and his shotgun. The coE-
troverSy got into court, and Squire
William Easlev. for whom the town,
ship was named, was asked to decide
the ownership of ten watermelons
worth l. cents apiece. The lawyers
for Kain read books to show that bis
rights of property followed the vines
clear into the next county should they
travel so far Hopper's lawyers pro
duced equally sound reading to prove
that Hopper was entitled by law to
anything that camped on lis premises.
It wasn't Hoppers fault, they said, if
the vines wanted to spread out and 80
visiting He had the same right to
them that he would have to colony
Of honeybees that might get tired Of
being With kain and concluded 10 move
over and make honey for Hopper.
Squire Easley let the lawyers spout
until they had read through all their
books; then he arose to his six feet
and said:
Mitchell has read books that make
it absolutely certain them melons be-
long to Kain I hadn't any doubt in
the world about that till Guthrie here
got up and turned Mitchell's law bot
tom side up. There's no question but
what there's enough law in the books
for both Kahn and Hopper, and that
ought to make 'em happy. The court
decides under the circumstances that
with the law deciding both ways there's
nothing to do but to hand out justice
as he sees it. The judgment Of the
court is that those are kain's melons,
Thank you, your honor" said Mitch
ell, arising and bowing.
-'but that he', indebted to Hopper
20 cents apiece for storage" finished
the justice.
But, your honor" said Mitchell in
dignantly, you can't do that. They
haven't fled any claim for storage.
Besides. you're allowing them more
for their melons than they're worth on
the market
The court will take judicial notice
OF the defendants rights, Offset or no"
said Squire Easley, with some asper-
ity. And your own evidence shows
Hopper was diligently guarding Kain's
property for him. That's worth some
