LEGAL DECISIONS


Defective Sidewalk contributory
Negligence 'Donnell V. City Of
Hannibal Plaintiff, in returning
from church with a granddaughter
because the weather was pleasant
chose a roundabout way home. She
was injured by striking her foot
against projecting hinge in the
sidewalk by which she was thrown
down. When the accident occurred,
she was eonversing with and looking
at her granddaughter. who walked a
few steps in advance of her. The
moon was shining, but no street
lamps were burning and the walk was
in the shadow; but there was suf-
ficient light with ordinary care to
tell whether the way was INSTRUCTED
by objects of any magnitude. Held.
tnat plaintiff was not required to give
the sidewalk her undivided attention
but might rely to some extent on the
presumption that the city had per-
formed its duty to keep the sidewalk
in repair, so that she was not guilty
of contributory negligence as a mat
ter of law.--Kansas City Court of

fire did not throw amy water.
The damage Will amount to but
few hundred dollars and the fire will
not affect the regular operation of
the machinery, The origin of the fare
Is not definitely known. Some one
has suggested that it might have been
caused by the burning of corncobs in
the furnace which produced a more
intense heat than usual and caused

THE ROAD DISTRICT MATTER.

There seemed to be some difference

is now in the Road district as formed
by recent action of the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners. The subject was
very thoroughly gone into at the hear.
ing given by the commissioners when
the district was proposed to be chang
ed. Judge Jno. NJ. Lansden appeared
as adviser to the Eoari. Attorney
Leek was there as representative OF
the city, and Judge Dewey spoke for
the numerous petitioners who asked
that the Board extend the boundaries
OF the district in order to permit the
extension of roads into the country.
The law was quoted very fully on
the various phases OF the subject and
II was the opinion of Judge Lansden
and of Attorney Leek that the Board
could make no change In the boundar
les OF the district without eliminating
the city from such district. More
than this, ii developed that the
Board had made change in the dis.
trlct in 1905 and that, according to-
the law as interpreted by the attor.
neys, the city had not been a part
OF the district since that time. The
law upon which this view was based
reads as follows.
Sec. 242-The Board of County
Commissioners of each county shall
have full and complete power and
jurisdiction to create new road dis
tricts and to alter the boundaries
and change road district lines In their
respective counties to suit the con.
venience of the. inhabitants residing
therein.
Sec 243-That hereafter all incor
porated cities, towns and villages
shall be excluded from all road dis
tricts now formed or hereafter to BIZ
formed In counties not Under town
ship organization in the state.
Another section declares that eli
les, towns and villages may becom,
a part OF such road districts by ad
opting ordinances to that effect
Cairo's city council had adopted suci
ordinance before 1905.
The question discussed before tn,
Board at the hearing referred to wa,
whether or not a change in tn,
boundaries OF district would be The
creation of new district. Judge
Lansden and Attorney Leek held thai
II would mean the creation OF a new
district within the meaning OF tnt
law, while Judge Dewey held that 4
would not, and 1t appears that the su
prcme court OF the state mas not pas
scd upon the issue thus raised. /
the former view is correct then Cairo
mas not been part Of any road dis

M'KNIGHT WINS
 OVER FELSENTHAI

That Senator w. F. Mcknight of Rolyat has been nominated for railroad commissioner from the Southern district is now assured from returns received from all but few of the counties in the district. Counties which were expected to roll up a good vote for Adolph Felsenthal, who was running second to Senator Me Knight, thus far have failed to produce the vote that was ex- pected and as result friends of Mr. Felsenthal practically con- cede the nomination of Senator Mcknight. The latter, accord ing to the last returns, is run ming between 1,200 and 1900 votes ahead of Mr. Felsenthal. a lend that is possible for Mr. Felsenthal to overcome in the counties yet to be heard from.
 This race has been undecided for nearly a week following the primary election. The uncer- tainty has been due to the man ner in which counties in that dis trict neglected to announce re- turns. There are still several counties in the district from which no official returns have been received.
