PRAIRIE FIRE

A very far-reaching prairie fire
swept over the country south of Clay
ton on Saturday of last week, con-
tinuing for several days. The fire
originated, as near as we have been
able to learn, some fifteen miles south
of town and the strong winds of Sum
day swept it with terrible force, driv-
ing it east and south east, in the di-
rection of Hereford, Texas. Many
men were out for several days doing
all they could to stop its progress
but as long as the wind was blowing
a gale as it was on Sunday last, they
were of little or no avail. Many
barns, some houses and much hay and
feed was destroyed, but to date we
have learned of no loss of life, r

GRAZING CASE
HAS HEARING
Precedent Established in Important
that has been "Hair-splitting"
Raising.

In the case Of James VS.. Salas, in
which Mr.. James sought to restrain
one Salas from pasturing his land
and damages in the amount of $1,000,
the court granted the injunction, gave
to Mr.. Salas right of way to a public
road, denied the damages asked for
and assessed the costs against the de-
fendant. This was one of those pecu-
liar cases that come up in every court
and that all may know the effect Of
the courts decision as to the matter
of having a precedent established in
which one can be guided in such mat
ters in the future, it is necessary to
state some Of the conditions that led
up to the suit. Mr.. James is large
ranchman. His land is enclosed. In.
side Of the enclosure Mr.. Salas has a
homestead. Mr.. James land surrounds
it on all sides. Mr.. Salas took the
liberty to pasture Mr.. James premises
with sheep accompanied by a herder.
The court held that he had no right to
thus pasture Mr.. James premises,
hence was a trespasser. It granted
Mr.. Salas, however, right-of-way to
and from his homestead across Mr..
James premises. The law provides
for what is known as and is, lawful
fence. Stock of any kind breaking
through this fence and entering in on
and destroying crops or grazing would
be considered as trespassing and the
owner thereof liable for damages.
Stock entering land or premises not
lawfully fenced q, lot fenced at all,
if running at large, owner is not liable
for damages. Stock accompanied by
herder are not permitted on any prem
ises except as owned, leased or under
the control Of the owner of the stock,
except by permission of the owner of
the premises.
1t would appear from the decision
that if Mr.. Salas would choose to turn
his stock loose unattended that they
would not be considered trespassing
to Craze Mr.. James land.

District Judge Thomas D. Lieb ar
rived in the city Sunday to conduct
the spring term of District Court in
this the Eighth Judicial District. The
Judge appeared in good health and en-
tered upon his official duties in the
best of spirits. We were pleased to
make his acquaintance and much graf
ified to learn that he was from that
grand old state, Kansas, where he
graduated from the law department
of the state university, some twenty
years ago, under the tutorship of that
grand old Scotchman, Uncle Jimmy
Green. The judge will probably re-
main with us about three weeks.

UNCLE BOB"
MAKES A HIT
Big Dance and Children's Party were
Great Successes. 400 Children
Present.

The big dance given by one Of our
townsmen, Mr.. Robert Isaacs, on Sat-
urday evening last, was a crowning
success, as is most every thing that
this veteran undertakes. The event
was staged in honor of the opening
of Mr.. Isaacs new mammoth imple-
ment and ware house, which he has
just completed, and is one Of the per-
manent new structures of the city.
There was great crowd in town
on Monday, Big Monday, and many Of
them came or at least stayed around
until late in the day to be present at
the big affair. John Hill was master
of ceremonies and at about nine o'clock
the music being furnished by Bristol's
Orchestra, the grand March was on
and "Your Uncle Bob" and wife led
off with as much "pep" as though they
had been twenty years younger. The
March terminated in a dance at which
juncture "Bob" and wife dropped, not
for any fault of Bobs, but the music
kept crossing his feet until he saw
/ hat it would be better to drop out than
to do something that he would be
sorry of.
\ In all, it was a grand success. The
skating party that was promised to
the children on Wednesday was no less
attended, in fact Bob was compelled
to double his order on candy for they
were there, the children" about four
hundred strong, and to say that "Your
Uncle Bob" enjoyed every minute Of
it is putting it right. Enough skates
were furnished by Mr.. Isaacs to ac-
commodate all and a great time was
had. i

ONE WINDY DAY

Sunday, March 9th, goes down in
history, our history, as the dirtiest
that we have experienced in Union
County. 1t was a real terror, and was
just as bad as Saturday was good.
The wind began blowing about eight
o'clock and by noon about all the real
estate that was lying loose had ex-
changed hands, and some of it was
still on the move. All sorts Of "pur-
suing" spectacles were to be seen in
the early part of the day but before
night the program had changed, for
one could pick up hat just most
anywhere. No use to chase one, pick
up another and go on. The week fol-
lowing, so far, has been normal, which
for Union county is as fine weather
as we have ever seen anywhere. u

Something entirely different from

Fort Worth first is to be entertained
by the defeated side a banquet.
Come Sunday and let us "put you

CUBBISON VS.. DAVIS

The case of Paul X. Cubbison, of
Kansas City, Mo-, VS.. Mrs. Betty Davis
of Mosquero, N. NJ, this county, was
heard before Judge Lieb on March
8, and a verdict rendered in favor of
the plaintiff for $6OO.OO, defendant to
pay the costs.
1t seems that Cubbison purchased
a REIMBURSEMENT of 800 acres of
homestead land together with all i'm
provements thereon about February
25, 1915, from Mrs. Davis, and paid
through his aunt, Mrs. Daisy Kings
bury, S175.00 in cash and its equival-
ent, and gave note for $425.00 to run
for one year from date. Paul Cubbi-
son filed on the land, and went back
to Kansas City to prepare for his re-
moval to land. He was threatened with
appendicitis before consummating his
arrangements, and felt he should stay
at his home where he could receive
proper medical attention and care. His
aunt, Mrs. Kingsbury, in the mean
time, had demanded possession Of the
land in order to sink well and build
the fence, but Mr.. James D. Davis, the
husband, made several and various
threats, and stated he would not give

The Court says, "The inquiry is there
fore narrowed down as to whether the
width of the streets is or not to be
included in the disanee which the leg
islature fixes when it says that private
markets shall not be kept within a
radius of six squares of the public
market in the city. It is clear that
there can be no squares unless they
are divided by streets, and that the
pieces of ground which are termed
and designated as squares, in ordinary
parlance, when a distance is to be
staked, includes the streets" If this
be the proper Interpretation of the
law, and this Court believes it is, then
this saloon maintained by the plaintiff
is within one block Of a church, and is
therefore being operated in violation
of the law.
It goes without saying that no one
has a right to operate saloon with
out license. If the plaintiff has been
operating one in a place forbidden by
law, then he is in the same position
as if he were doing business without
license. For whatever license he
may have had is void and of no effect,
and he would be subject to prosecution
under the law for the unlawful sale
of intoxicating liquors. The location
of his place of business being within
the distance prohibited by law from a
church, it naturally follows that no
one had any jurisdiction to grant him
license.
That being true, the plaintiff is a
violater of the law, unintentionally it
may be, but violater nevertheless.
Therefore, he cannot come before a
court of equity and get it to assist him
in carrying on business contrary to
law. There is no older nor familiar
maxim of equity than that che who
comes into a court Of equity must do
so with clean hands" Many courts
have called the saloon a "legalized
outlaw" If it be that when operating
lHder license, with the cloak Of le-
gality taken away it is an outlaw in
every sense of the word, entirely with
out the pale of the law, and can OBJ
tain no relief in a court of equity.
The temporary injunction heretofore
issued in this cause will therefore be
dissolved at the cost of the plaintiff
