ing before the county court, and
asked it request the governor to ap-
point a Judge to try the case, and,
after being put in possession Of the
proceedings before the county court
and the affidavits in connection
with it-he appointed Judge Coke, Of
the second judicial district to try the
case. Judge Coke called the special
jury, which heard the case, and gave
the city a right of way, and awarded
Hanley damages to the amount Of
5000.
Void Says Hanley.
After entering the decree by Judge
Coke, Hanley Immediately commenced
proceedings under Judge Hanna to-
remove the cloud from the title of his
land, which had been created by the
judgment entered by Coke, upon the
ground that the decree was void. He
set out in his complaint that the rep
reservations made to the county court
we're fraudulent and false, and also
that neither the governor, nor the
officer he ppointed-Judge Coke
had any authority to call a special
term of court, and also asked for the
issuance of an injunction against the
city restraining it from laying the
pipes of it's water system across the
land.
In the prosecution of this action
before Judge Hanna he was success
full, but from the decree entered an
appeal was taken by the city to the
supreme court. One of the main con-
tentions of Hanley on appeal, besides
the invalidity of the Coke decree, is
that whatever benefits the city reaped
by reason OF it were secured by
fraud, and that litigant who comes
into court of equity seeking relief
must come with clean hands, and that
therefore the city in this case is not
entitled to an appeal.

planter of Bristol, in the eastern part of this county, who died March 2 1908. He was the father of three chil- dren, Oliver Strickland and Mrs. w. G. Richards, both deceased, and M. Strickland, Jr. About two weeks after his fathers death NJ. Strickland, Jr., filed for record a deed alleged to have been executed by M Strickland, Sr., on February 20, 1898, conveying to him about 700 acres of land in this county for nominal consideration of $100 The plaintiffs, the children of Oliver Strickland and of Mrs. Rich ards, shortly afterwards filed suit against M. Strickland, Jr., for the possession of a two-thrds interest in the lands, alleging that the defend ants claim of title was wrongful and without foundation
 The plaintiffs attacked the deed which the plaintiff had recorded on several grounds. They alleged it was not signed by the wife of the purport- ed grantor, who was living at the time; that it was not witnessed and acknowledged by s. L. A. Wheeless, a justice of the peace who died in 1900, but that the handwriting was not that of Wheeless; that the blank on which the deed was written bore the imprint of Allsop & Chapple of Little Rock, who had never had any blanks bearing their imprint printed prior to the lat ter part of 1901, and on each printed date line in the deed the figures "190" were printed instead of "tS9," al though in each case an attempt had been made to cross out or erase the figures "190" and the figures 1898" were written over the erasure.
 Other evidence was offered in sup port of the contentious of the plain tiffs, though their case probably rest ed mainly on the genuineness of the deed The defendant entered a gen eral denial to the allegations of the plaintiff, introducing testimony in support of his claim; and Chancellor J. G. Wallace, who heard the case, rendered a judgment for the defend ant. The plaintiffs appealed to the supreme court with the result that tba caSa was ravercad
 The attorneys in the case were P. H. Prince and R. w. Robins for the plaintiffs and appellants, and J. H. Harrod, Senator Jeff Davis of Little Rock and Sam J Crabtree of Beebe for the defendant

ASKING DAMAGES FROM IRON MOUNTAIN COMPANY FOR
 ALLEGED INJURIES.

Alleging that he was permanently injuried in a collision on May II, 1910, I. c. Hall, former locomotive fire man, today filed suit in the Faulkner circuit court against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Company for $50,000 damages, the suit being brought by the firm of Bradshaw, Rhoton & Helm of Little Rock.
 Hall claims that he was working as fireman on engine No. 1S09 at tached to train No. 168, which, at the time of the accident, had started on it's trip from Little Rock to Fort Smith, and, through the negligence of the engineer in charge of his engine, who he alleges disregarded his orders, the locomotive collded with train Mo- 157, which was being drawn by en- zines 1874 and 1916 coupled together

pecial to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, June 6.-Holding that the deed, under which M. Strickland, Jr., claimed possession of about 700 acres of Faulkner county land, form erly owned by his dead father, is not genuine, the supreme court this morn ing reversed the case of G. R. Strick- land and others against M. Strickland, Jr., remanding it to the Faulkner chancery court with directions to enter a decree in accordance with the pray CT of the plaintiffs in their complaint.
 The opinion, which is lengthy one, was handed down by Associate Justice Hart, and upholds practically every contention of the plaintiffs, granting every portion of their original com plaint The case involves an imputa- ton of forgery or guilty knowledge of forgery upon the part of the de- fendant, M. Strickland, Jr., a promi- nent banker of Beebe and mayor of that town, and the court states that, realizing the gravity of the circum- stances attending the case, it has giv- en it the most careful consideration, out the evidence conclusively proves that the deed alleged to have been executed by M. Strickland, Sr., is not genuine.

of the accident his left leg was brok- en and permanently injured, his back was wrenched, affecting his spinal col umn, and rendering him incapable of performing labor. He states he is P years of age and was earning $90 per month, with opportunity for pro motion, and asks damages in the sum of $50,000.
 The amount asked for by the plain tiff equals the largest sum ever involv- ed in suit in Faulkner county, two previous cases brought here by Little Rock attorneys against the Iron Mountain being for the same sum.
