Final hearing upon proofs. PLATT, District Judge.

PLATT, District Judge.
 "At the outset, these cases and the Andrus case came up together, seeking preliminary injunction on affdavits.
 After hearing them, indicated an in disposition to grant the mandatory relief prayed for, but to facilitate matters, offered to hear either. one of the cases on the merits in open court, as our rules permit, giving counsel for the plaintiffs his choice as to which one he would select. His knowledge of the matter was as comprehensive then as now He chose the Andrus case, and as soon as the hearing was concluded, injunctive relief was refused, after an order to per init the usual procedure in damages to 20 forward had been rejected This action was sustained by the Court of Appeals and certiorari denied by the Supreme Court.
 Since that time the matters now passed upon have been vigorously pressed After listening to the arguments l am persuaded that counsel acted adyisedly when he picked out the Andrus case for the first final hearing. The obstacles in the Griffith case certainly are greater, and the same thing may be said of the Hughes case, unless it be admitted that negotiations as to the sale of the prem ises outright, or for a certain amount to be paid by way of damages. must have taken place before the trespass was con- mitted, to have any weight as an estoppel or waiver. I cannot so understand the law.
 Such doings by the complainants after the trespass. as would lead the defend ant to believe that 8 money compensa- tion might be arrived at, would and did effect the defendants position, both in regard to other settlements with land owners and in regard to the extension of it's power for use in electric lighting and otherwise. From the standpoint of waiver alone, barring the question of, strictly equitable estoppel. the acts of plaintiffs deprived them of the right to enforce by injunction their full original rights. ..e
 The rule of greater convenience also has weight with me in the Andrus case,

favor, setting forth the fact that
he has lived as its master and servant
for fifty-tour years; and as his (the
master's) strength and size ever since
they first became acquainted has been,
year by year, diminishing and it's (the
oak's) strength and great proportions
have been gradually gaining until today
it is the largest WHITE OAK tree in ALL

Botna where it grew, and a small for
tune to its owner for not many trees

It's pleading would go on to show
that it was free from disease or date
and should be allowed to live while
vigorous. Then, too, having lived in
each others company so many years
and, according to nature, the time cam
not be long hence when by necessity
parting must come.

u FSHIS grand old oak came into
thepossession of Mr.. Bry Milli-
man in the year 1854 when he
purchased his farm near Extra which
he still owns. A part of this fine farm
contained many big trees but this par
tlcular one, on account of its grand and
noble appearance, has been reserved
until the present time.
The dimensions of this old giant are
four feet in diameter, fifty feet TO the
first limb, ninety-seven and one-halt
feet to the topmost limb, and its age
two hundred and forty years counting
one ring for each year. The body
made two hundred and sixty large
posts, and the top made twelve cords
of stove wood
Could this old monarch talk, we
imagine it's first great effort would be
to thank Uncle Bry for the preserva-
ton of its life to the present, and ask
ing for Il continuance of that great

imaginary pleading has been all lost
and as age is creeping on, the master
who has saved its noble body and
limbs from the laceration of the saw
and the ak since 1854 to the present
time, is released from care, worry and
hard work and is resting during his
declining years. The younger man in
whose hands falls the responsibility of
the farm turned deaf ear to the en-
treaties of the mammoth oak and pre-
pared its body for posts and its branches
for fuel. They will now SOW seed on
the soil that has been shaded by its
giant limbs these many years and will
reap a golden harvest, while with the
demise of the master, small patch
will be consecrated to his memory on
which will grow the delicate rose or its
kindred blossom. Goodbye dear old
oak; your body and branches will go
to dust while the soul of the master
will live forever.
