CAN RECOVER
DAM A G. ES
Farmers Do Not Have to
Fence Their Lands to
Keep Stock Out.

Judge Pope has handed down
an opinion stating that the farm
ers in the Fifth Judicial District
do not have to fence their land
to keep out range stock, and in
cases where crops have been
ruined by the stock, the farmers
may recover damages. This
opinion was rendered in the case
of Nels Curtis VS.. Solom Bond
and L. P. Strayhorn, of Roose-
welt county.
Some stock belonging to Cur
tis had ruined Bonds crops and
he had sued for damages, which
was allowed to the amount of
$40 by L. P. Strayhorn, justice
of the peace. Curtis had asked
for an injunction on three differ
ent grounds; first because notice
was not given Curtis of the
suit. Second, because a JUS
tice Of the peace cannot impose
a judgment of more than $1O0,
and third, because the land was
not fenced.
An injunction was allowed on
the first two grounds, but Judge
Pope held that in the Fifth Ju-
dicial District, the farmer could
have claimed damages for his
crops when destroyed by range
cattle, whether the land was
fenced or not, as the law pro-
viding that land must be fenced
with a legal fence. only applied
to that portion of the Territory
lying west OF the range line di-
viding ranges six and seven.
The court held that the legisla-
ture thought the citizens living
east of this line were entitled to
damages in case their crops
were destroyed.
This is one of the most impor-
tant decisions handed down by the
court for a long time,a there has
been more or less trouble in the
Territory between the stockmen
and the farmers over the range
stock destroying the crops.

Laiblin COmpany's Manager
Says Victim Had Been Warned
Against Taking Chances.

Suffering the most excruciatine
agony from falling into vat of boiling
dyestuffs in the Laiblin Company
dye works, 10 Longworth street, today,
Robert McKellin is in the City Hos
pital with no possible relief from his
physicians say, is question of only a
few hours.
McKellin, who is % years old and
unmarried, was dyer in the estab-
lishment. His home is in Passaic, but
he had roomed for the last week at 172
Belmont avenue, this city He had
worked at the factory two months.
While attending to his duties short
ly after 10 o'clock today the steam
from one of the dye watts, an immense
tank holding four tons of dyestuffs
so interfered with his work that he
atteWrted to open window for the
tfgs pose of purifying the air in the
room. With his back to the steaming
caldron and his feet partly protrudine
over the boiling mass within 1t, he
pulled upward with all his strength on
the sash.
Instead of raising the window, how
ever, his feet slipped from their inse-
cure hold, and with a cry of terror he
fell backward into the vat. Attracted
by his cries, other employees rushed
from all parts of the building, the first
to arrive upon the scene being Henry
Zeibolz, foreman of the dye room.
Women sickened by Sight.
With the aid of two assistants Nc
writhing in pain. His cries arrested
the attention OF a number of women
and children, who crowded about the
window, only to fall back at tho horror
of what they saw. McKellin lost con-
sciousness finally, but just as the am
bulance, which had been summoned
from the City Hospital, arrived, he
came to his senses.
Upon his arrival at the hospital a
hasty examination showed that the
young man had been so badly scalded
frosn his shoulders to his feet that the
Skin had been removed in large strips,
and it was given as the opinion of the
physicians that he could not possibly
recover.
Say McKellin Had Been warned.
At the Laiblin Companys plant, just
after the accident had occurred, George
w. Brodhead, the manager, stated that
McKellin had often been warned of his
danger in opening the windows while
the vats contained the boiling LIQUID
but had disregarded these warnings re-
peatedly. "It was entirely through his
own carelessness," said Mr.. Brodhead,
that this sad affair occurred"
