SIX;
UPHOLD TWO
Decision In Eight Cases Were
Passed Upon by the
Supreme Court.

Eight decisions were rendered
this morning by the supreme court
of the state and out of that number
there were but two affirmations of
the decisions of the lower tribunal,
the other six being reversals. All
the eases except one-that of James
Higgins & which was
from the court of Judge Burnette.
were from other counties scattered
throughout the state.
The supreme court reversed the
decision of the lower tribunal in the
case of Mary G. Francis against the
Mutual Life Insurance company.
The suit was brought in the circuit
court of Multnomah county for the
purpose of collecting an insurance
of $4,000, but the plaintiff was nom
suited, and then appealed.
A reversal was also made in the
case of Hattie Dornsife against L..
o. Ralston, which was an appeal
from a judgment of $3.50 rendered
in favor of the plaintiff in Multno-
nah county; also in the case Of
Minnie B. Temple against F. w. Os-
bronze, from Lane county and an ac-
tion brought to remove a cloud of
title to real property; also in the
case of Nina B. Lathrop against the
Modern Woodmen of America, an
action brought in Josephine county
to collect a life insurance of $4,000.
A similar ruling was made in the
case of Christene M. Salene against
F. w. sherwood. This suit was
brought for the purpose of enjoining
! the defendants from hunting
on the plaintiffs land. 1t was
shown that the plaintiff had joined
with her husband in a deed giving
the defendants an exclusive right to
hunt on certain portions of her land,
and the court while holding that II
must be strictly construed, further
held that the defendants had a right
to assign it, and that they had a
right to keep watchman on the
grounds for the purpose of protect
ing and feeding the game.
A modification Of the Judgment OF
the lower court was made in the
case of Thos. J.Whited, ct al, a case
from Baker county. and in which
certain water rights were involved
The two cases affirmed were those
OF James Higgins & Company
against L. r. Torvick, and appeal
from the court of Judge Burnette
and his decision was sustained; and
that of the Eugene Planning Mil
company against Edward Smell and
wife. This latter case was from
Douglas county and the question in
volyed was the foreclosure Of lier

A brief mention was made yesteH-

The house is a two story frame tene
ment built and occupied some years

pied by several negro families who
were awakened b. the smell of smoke
and coal oil. One of the inmates
looking ont of a window saw the re-
fection cast by the blaze and saw
a negro man running away from the
building. He rushed up stairs to get
pistol but returned too late to get a
shot at the man. A negro woman
passing along Washington avenue saw
the blaze and sent the alarm to the
fire department She states she saw
a man run away from the burning
building
After the arrival of the firemen tue
ire was soon eXtingushed and on in
}estigati0n of the origin of the fire
was discovered that some one had
placed a large wooden candy bucket
filed with kindling which had been
, saturated with coal oil against the side
of the building, and had poured coal
oil on the parch adjoining.
A negro woman was heard to say
yesterday that she had overheard a
talk between two negro men about
a month ago stating they were going
to set fire to this house but she maid
no attention to the remark.
