Judge W. S. McClenahan, C. W.
Stanton and B.. F. Wright, the three
judges of the Fifteenth judicial
district, hold that the patrol section OF
the state fire warden law of 1909 is
unconstitutional. The constitution
atty of the patrol section of the
state fire warden law was attacked in
several cases which we're brought
against railroad companies last fall,
wherein the state attempted to enforce
that provision of the law which re-
quired the railroad companies to
"employ at least one patrolman for
every mile of their railroad through
land liable to be overrun by fires, dis
cover and extinguish fires occurring
near the line Of railroad, by which is
meant a distance within which fire
could usually be set by sparks from a
passing locomotive. -
