President Williams of the supreme
court of appeals in affirming the cir
cult court of Fayette county in the
case Of The Weaver Thurmond Tile
Company against Thurmond brings
out some interesting logic and law in
the syllabus and opinion. the former
of which is given in full and is as
follows:
A man is bound to use his prem
ises SO as not to injure his neigh
boris property.
f A land owner who brings water
upon his premises by artificial means,
and stores it in tanks or reservoirs
for his use, is liable II the water es-
cape and injure the property of an
s adjoining owner.
II landlord have on his promises
water tank which supplies water to
several houses occupied by several
tenants, he is bound at his peril to
prevent the water from escaping and
injuring the property of an adjoin-
ing proprietor.
II the tank bursts and the escap-
Ing water does injury TO the property
of an adjoining proprietor. negligence
will be presumed. In such case the
rule of res ipsa loquitur applies,
A trustee in bankruptcy may OBJ
tain permission from the bankrupt
court to intervene and prosecute a
suit brought in the state court by
the bankrupt before his adjudication.
But this failure to Intervene will not
abate the suit.
If the trustee fail to intervene in
such suit in the lower court he can
not do SO by petition IN this court
after the case has been brought here
on writ of error or appeal. Such pc
tition presents original matter which
does not belong to the Jurisdiction of
this court.
The supreme court quashed the
alternative writ Of mandamus and
refused peremptory writ in the case
of Alley and Boggs against Musick
and Browning, from Mingo county.
and in the syllabus by Judge Poffen-
barger is the following:
Persons having wholly separate and
distinct rights cannot join as REALTORS
in mandamuS.

elections held, to I'LL two offices, in e.
sYcct to each Of which there is legally

Tho Electric Fan.

The Electric Fan.
Back in the early eighties DR.. &. q.
Wheeler, an electrical engineer Of New
York; was experimenting with a. small
electric motor. In the course OF bis ex-
pertments the doctor conceived the
idea that steamboats, might be run
with electricity If the propellers could
be directly connected to high speed
electric motors, doing away with all
the gears then In use in steam propul-
sion. With this idea In mind he had a
small screw propeller constructed and
fastened it to the armature shaft Of
his small motor. To his surprise the
experiment resulted in a fine breeze Of
cooling air which more than delighted
the experimenter, for the day was de.
cidedly hot. 1t Is needless to add that
the experiments with screw propellers
ended right there, and the engineer
took up the study Of the electric fan,
with the result that he 0 20 perfected
the device until it was q commercial
success.

kidneys, or bladder, rheumatism, sci
atica, diabetes, bed-wetting, leg ulcers,

eases, that have baffled the skill of the
family physician, should not fail to call.
According to their system no more
operations for appendicitis, gall stones,
tumors, goiter or certain forms of cancer.
They were among the first in America
to earn the name Of the Bloodless
Surgeons, by doing away with knife,
with blood and with all pain in the
successful treatment Of these dangerous
diseases.
If you, have kidney or bladder troubles

OVER IN HI HILLS
Legislators-EIect ard Business Men
Meet to Discuss Measures

Deadwood - Legislato select from
the Black Hills counties were pres
ent at a meeting here called by
President n. e. Franklin of the
Deadwood Business club, to discuss
measures to come before the legisla-
lure this session and to dec de what
the Black Hills wants The good
roads, mining, anti-herd law, stock
men and other interests were well
represented at the meeting.
Summarized, the demands OF the
Black Hills section will be for some
equitable amendment of the present
primary law; an amendment of the
game laws to permit elk from the
National park in Wyoming TO be
brought here under state protection;
opposition to the enforcement of the
herd law in the Black Hills; a county
option feature TO all measures to be
passed, wherever applicable; amend
ments to the road building laws,
eliminating the road supervisor and
substituting an expert engineer to
nave charge of all road building in
each county and al adequate method
for building permanent roads, and a
modification of the present law on
mining charters which will permit
either an extension of the charter
when il expires or some other practi-
cal way TO keep the ute Vi oiu hAih-
ing companies clear.
Good roads occupied most of the
discussion. 1t vas argued that a sys-
tenn different from that employed IN
the eastern part of the state was
necessary in the Black Fills. owing
10 different conditions and 1t is pro
bable a bill will be introduced provid-
ing for a macadam road through the
Hills. taking in all the principal
towns both north and south and ex-
tending n branch into Wyoming as
far as the Devils Tower, for the bene-
fit of those in that section and for
tourist trips.
Bills embodying most Of these fea-
lures are to beprepared and IL WAS
the sense OF the meeting that the
Black Hills legislators would stand
together for Black Hills legislation as
far as practicable.

McNulty in the case of Roberts coun,

Attorney Patterson brought the action
as a test, believing that he could COM
pei the relatives of an INDECENT to re-

The father of the defendant became
a county charge about fifteen years
ago. although his children have been
able to care for him. The daughter
has the title to over 500 acres IF Rob
erts county land in her own name,
and is considered wealthy
A stubborn defense to the action
was made. but the court held for the
state, giving judgement in the sum of
$40 a month from Jan. 1. 1899. until
the time of commencement of the &C.
ton and after that in the sum Of $50
n month until the date of judgment,
making a total of over $4,000 for the
county.
Several cases of a similar sort have
been instituted by the county and
their prosecution hinged upon the re.
sui in this action.
