Fixed Ideas, Yet Have No Founda-
ton In Legislative Enaotments.
| Many people have the idea that If
one owes a bill and goes to his debtor
and tells him that he is willing to pay
and then offers some trifiing sum. on
account, say ST or even less per week
or month, the creditor is obliged to
take it, utterly regardless of the fact
that If creditors were obliged to re-
ceive payment in that way it would
put most of them out Of business In a
very short period.
There is no such law.
In the minds of very many people.
especially in the country districts,
there is another firmly fixed idea that
If one person strikes another first the
person assaulted may then all but
pound the other to death.
There is no such law.
A person assaulted has the right to
defend himself, but he may not use
any more force than necessary to do
that. To use more than necessary
force completely turns the tables. and
the assaulted becomes the aggressor
and liable for his excess of zeal in
damages commensurate with the dam
age done. A person has the right to
order an undesirable person from his
premises and to use sufficient force to
eject him If he does not 60 when so
ordered, but he has no right to acceler-
ate his movements with one or more
well placed kicks.
Many people who owe bills labor un-
der strong impression that it is the
duty of their creditors to come to them
for their money.
There is no such law.
There is proverb which says. 1.-THE
borrower is servant to the lender"
The bank will not come to you If you
owe note which 1t holds for collec-
ton. Out of courtesy it will send you
a notice that your note is due Ut is not
compelled to do that), but you must
go to the bank to make payment.
In the country frequently and in
the city sometimes one is told that,
If person dies leaving children and
grandchildren, the children of de-
ceased child. the grandchildren. are not
entitled to the share of the estate
which their parent would have taken,
as the father or mother having died
there is no way whereby the, inherit
ance can pass over from the deceased
to the randchildren-in other words.
the line is broken.
There is no such law.
The statutes expressly provide that
the children of deceased heirs take
the share that would have gone to
their parent.
A person owns fruit tree and its
branches overhang the land Of his
neighbor. Many think because of that
the neighbor is entitled to the fruit
OH the overhanging branches.
There is no such law.
Ii the tree sat upon the line be-
tween the estates the neighbor would
be entitled to one-half of the fruit.

FRUIT INSPECTOR IN TOWN

John Norton, deputy horticultural
inspector, was in Blackfoot last
week in quest of forbidden fruit. He
discovered a couple of merchants with
infected fruit and had them arrested,
but when he discovered that they
were not responsible for its posses.
sion and had made no attempt to
dispose of it after they were in
formed of its condition, he had the
charges dismissed.
Mr.. Norton until recently was en-
ployed as superintendent of the
grounds at the Blsckfoot asylum,
which position he has held since last
spring. AS his territory covers all
of Southeastern Idaho he expects
to make Blackfoot his headquarters
until the close of the fruit season.
