2. It is controversy between citi-

HAGERLA IS HIT
BY THE DECISION
Federal Court Finds Against conten-
ton of Green Bay Farmer in
Strong Opinion Given This
Forenoon.

Actions of HaserIa's Lawyers In Filling
Bill for Injunction Was Fatal
to Their Argument,
Court Says.

In a strong opinion In which the
court remarks that the questions in
volve stopping one Of the greatest en-
terprises in history and all on account
OF a comparatively trifiing disput
about whether the damager for Hag-
erla's overflowed land shall be ST.
$1,000 or $4,000, or some intermediate
sum. Judge Mcpherson this forenoon
decided the questions before him in
the Hagerla case, about the Green Bay
land, emphatically in favor of the
Water Power company. The court
kept jurisdiction of the matter for
the future.
The next proceedings in the matter
will be next October when the amount
of damages will be fixed. In this. how
ever, a Jury will be only advisory to
the court, and the jury measure OF
damages will not be binding.
The opinion of Smith MCPHERSON,
Judge, in full is as follows:
The Power Company, corporation
under the laws of Maine, is construct
ing dam across the Mississippi river
between Keokuk, Iowa, and Hamilton.
| Illinois, for the purpose Of generating
electricity to sell for power and light;
and in conjunction Herewith is erect

as to pass over the rapids Of the river.
and is constructing dry dock. The
river, both in fact and in law, is navi-
| gable stream. The Improvement was
authorized by Congressional enactment
approved February 9, 1905, and is to be
built under the supervision of the Sec,
rotary of War.

Revised Statutes, by reason OF the
