JAMES RIVER 4
| PUBLIC HIGHWAY
Law and Equity Court Denies
Exclusive Claim to Stream
at Belle Isle.
IRON AND NAIL WORKS LOSES
Court Dismisses Suit to Restrain
City and c. & O. From
Using Upper River.
IRON AND NAIL WORKS LOSES

More than three years Of itga-
ton came to sudden end Yesterday.
when Judge Beverly 7. Crump ondereo
stricken from the docket OF the Law
and Equity Court an action orousn.
by the Old Dominion Iron and Nan
Works to restrain the city OF Ricn
mond and the Chesapeake and On.o
Railway from impairins its water
power at Belle Isle.
The proceedings. which have taken
many forms since. began with the
fling of a suit in the Law and Equity
Court on May ~. 1903. The Old Domin'
ion Iron and Nail W,rAs. owned oy
the Gould interests, operates large
plant on Belle Isle. The island 10
held under Colonial grant issued
early In the eighteenth century.
Since the river at this point is above
tidewater and not navigabie, the com
pany contended, the stream on eacn
side and the water-power which II
furnishes is the peculiar property OF
the Old Dominion Iron and Nail Works
ana cannot be diminished or impaired
through other uses.
SOUGHT to Restrnla City.
The city Of Richmond became q party
to the suit. because 1t takes Its water
supply from the river at BoeheHs
Dam. about nine miles above Belle
Isle, thus diminishing materially the
volume Of water at the island.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
became codefendant by reason Of ces-
tain rights to the upper river held by
1t as legal successor to the Richmond
and Allegheny Railway Company.
which acquired its rights from the old
James River and Kanawha Canal
Company. The latter company held its
claims through a grant from the State
Immediately upon the fling OF the,
suit, the city and the railway com
pany demurred Jointly to the evidences
offered by the plaintiff. and asked that
the suit ne thrown out Of court on
the ground that this was not SUFFICIENT
to warrant the action.
River Public Highway.
In the decree dismissing the suit.
Judge Crump held that while the old
English law gave owners above tide
water. property rights in the river.
the James was a navigable stream at
points above Belle Isle. and In this
character a true public highway open
to common use. The evidence offerod
by the plaintiff. in the opinion OF the
court, was not sufficient to overthrow
a number OF legislative acts and stat
utes. all establishing the river as q
public highway.
While this order formally ended the
litigation In the Law and Equity
Court, there is a strong probability
that the matter will be carried tor
1nal decision to the States highest
tribunal Such an intention was indi-
Gated yesterday by attorneys for the

4 LEAkY BASTILE.

Two more prisoners leaked out OF
the county weak box last Thursday
evening, and up to the time of writ
ing were still distributed over the sur
face of the earth beyond the ken of
the sheriff's force, that has followed
hot foot on every trail that has come
to light since the birds took wing. The
individuals who were so diScOurteOus
as to give the Sheriff the shake were
Fred Bongard and B. II. Marsh. The
former was under a sentence of one to
fifteen years for grand larceny, and
the latter was confronted by term OF
from two to five years for having a
wife too many. The prisoners filtered
through the floor. 1t Is route that
has been taken by other prisoners In
the past, and in making repairs not
sufficient care was taken In properly
closing up the hole. BY means only
known to the operators the boards
were removed. The work Is supposed
to have been done some time ago, and
the criminals were prepared to make
their exit at the physiological mo-
ment. 1t came last Thursday evening.
The prisoners were notified OF the ar
rival Of the guard to escort them to
Walla Walla. They requested Sheriff
Thorp to get them lunch, and as the
officer is one of the most accommodate
ing of men he proceeded to comply
with their request. Upon his return
he called to his wards before opening
the door There was a dead silence.
This struck the sheriff as being omi-
nous. and fearing that the prisoners
were Matching up some scheme to
crack him on the ScOnce and get away.
the offierc returned to his room for
his gun. When the jail door was
thrown open a great vacancy confront
ed the officer. and the erinning orifice
indicated the channel OF departure. A
great hue and cry followed, and the
country was raked with fine tooth
comb without uncovering the fugi
tives. OF course the sheriff's Office is
much peeved over the out break, yet
the officers are hardly to be held re-
sponsible so long as they only have
crockery crate in which to confine
evil doors committed to their charge.

and volume of receipts. The enter

prOlOngation of the bazaar and was a
happy close to very pleasant after
noon proceedings. At the bazaar were
several booths, appropriately and tasti-
ly arranged and decorated for the oc-
casion. They were presided over by
members of the Guild, who made every
body welcome. There was the fancy
article booth. the candy booth. the fish
ponI booth and the booth of general
eats, and the latter had the chief run.
The entertainment consisted of a mu-
sicai program and a rollicking play
let. The program was a most enjoy
able one and from the warmth of the
applause it was evident that the sew

FAREWELL SERMON.

The Rev. Geo. w. Hurlbut held his
last services in Oroville last Sunday.
About a year ago the Rev. Hurlbut was
sent into this county to carry on mis-
sionary work, and establish EpiscO-
pal missions at various points. His
headquarters were at Brewster, and
he travelled on horseback up the
Methow as far as Winthrop. and up
the Okanogan valley to Oroville, COW
ering vast range of country. These
trips he has made in the most inclem-
ent weather. never shirking the hard
ships never missing an appointment
doing the work cheerfully and cour-
ageously in the face OF drawbacks that
would have discouraged less earnest
and enthusiastic clergyman. 1t was
pioneering in the rough, and II any
minister ever made good In missionary
work the Rev. Hurlbut surely has
Back Of his energy he has ability of a
high order, and is really more fitted
to grace city church than to preach
before meagre congregations in small
communities. Outside of the pulpit
he has a most charming and agreeable
personality, and he is popular with all
classes outside as well as within his
own denomination. He goes from
this field with the respect, love and
confidence of his immediate church
people and wherever he locates he
carries with him the kindly we'll wish
es of the friends he has made during
his pastOrate in the Okanogan coun-
try
