COURT UPHOLDS A BIG VERDICT Northern Alabama Must Pay
 $l5,OOO. FOUR DECISIONS TUESDAY Choctawatchee River Is Object of
 Litigation. Interest Attaches to Fight on Greater Dirminghan BfII, Already suecess- ful h Lower Courts-su-
 preme Court Is
 Busy.

Four decisions of comparative un- importance were handed down by the Supreme Court of Alabama. Tuesday. among them the first opinion by the newly-appointed Justice. A. A. Evans.
 In one opinion. by Chief Justice powdell. a verdict of $15.000 against the Northern Alabama Railway. in fa- vor of Jesse c. Counts. a boy of Rus sellville.
 The boy was injured by a protruding rod on train. which struck him as he watched it pass. His mother sued for $2s,0oo and was awarded $15.ooo by the jury.
 C. M Mouldin. who operates mill on the East Choctawatchee River. is ordered. by an opinion of Justice Sayre. to remodel dam at his mill site so that sluices may be installed 10 allow the passage of logs.
 The case involved the question of "when is stream navigabls." Moul- din. who built dam. obstructed the passage of logs, and especially incur red the ire of J. c. Blackman. who op- erated a mill twelve miles above Mouldin on the Choctawatchee. and whose logs were impeded in their pas sage by the impregnable dam of his rival miller.
 The Choctawatchee River. while not strictly navigable. as the word goes, .nu as the plaintiff contended. is con sfdered fioatable. and therefore adapt able to public service. Therefore MT. Monldin must keep his dam clear.
 The court entered upon the busiest period of the November term, Tuesday. when attorneys from the Birmingham district argued and submitted cases. Considerable interest throughout the State attaches to the cases which in- voive the fight on the Greater Birm- ingham bill.
 Greater Birminsham Flight.
 The light to kill the Greater Birm- fngham bill is before the Supreme Court. and will be well argued Thurs day. There are two cases relied upon. One is a light made from Ensley and the other case from North Birming- ham. .. ~
 It seems that the advertisement of the bill. before passage by the Legis- iature, did not take in full twenty eight days. though the records indicate that it was sufficient under the law. Tho protest of Representative Tarrant, however, indicates that 1t was not. hence the conflict. Chancellor Ben ners, in Birmingham, has ruled against the bill in two cases. both of which are here for submission.
 The following is list of the de- eisiens Tuesday handed down in the Supreme Court:
 DOWDELL4 c. J.--sT ks

DEFEATS zBYSzKQ

Kansas City, Dec. 22-Zbyszko lost
a handicap match last night. He
agreed to throw Dr. Roller twice in
an hour or forfeit the entire receipts
but failed to get one fall.
Zbyszko was forced to struggle des-
perately to prevent being thrown him
self. He was the stronger but Roller
the faster. Zbyszko asserted that
Roller jabbed his thumb in his eye
and blinded him, but if Roller wi1fully
gouged his opponent the act escaped
the spectators Zbyszko and Roller
will probably have a finish match
Four thousand people witnessed the
contest at Convention Hall. Roller
weighed 1876, Zbyszko 235.
