Important Decision

On September 2Oth, 1906, a tow of logs being taken from Ideal Cove to the Jorgenson Company's saw mill at Juneau, was broken. These logs were subsequently, taken possession of by H. F. Rapp ct al.
 The Jorgenson Company brought suit to recover. The court returned verdict for the plaintiffs; appeal was taken and the decision now handed down upholds the original finding. It is held that the Jorgenson Company had never abandoned the logs.
 The suit was commenced October l, and the decision of the appellate court handed down December II.
 This decision will be received with interest by mill men, as it may be fair ly taken as indicating the rights ot parties picking up logs which have gone astray.
