JUDGE M'COY Of
SOUTH DAKOTA ON !
MISSOURI RIVER

Judge Mccoy Of the supreme court;
of South Dakota, in Nav VS.. Bruneau, ]:
a case involving the ownership of land#
affected by the eccentricties of the:
Missouri river, affirms the law laid
down by q humorous writer in a de-
scription of the habits of the river in
which the writer said, in part:
These facts lead US naturally to thee
subject of the Missouri's appetite. IT.;
is the hungriest river ever created. /
1t is eating all the time-eating yell
low clay banks and cornfields, 80:
acres at mouthful; winding up it's:
banquet with a truck garden and;
picking its teeth with the timbers of
big red barn. Its yearly menu ISL
10000 acres OF good, rich farming
land, several miles of,railroad, q few
hundred houses, a forest or two, and:
uncounted miles of sandbars.
This sort CT thing makes the Mis-.
souri, valley farmer philosophical in:
the extreme. The river may take away:
half his farm this year, but he feels.
sure that next year, it will give him.
the whole farm of the fellow aboves
him. But he must not be 100 certain:
At this point the law steps in and does##
more remarkable thing than the riv-5:
or Itself may hope to accomplish. IL
DEGREES that SO long as there is al
single yard CT an owners land left:
nay even so long as there is strip.
wide enough to balance calf upon
he is entitled to all .the land that the
river may deposit in. front of 1t. But.
when that last yard is eaten up, even
though the river may repent and re-
place the farm in as good order as
when it took it. the land belongs to
the owner Of the land behind it.
1t is perpetual dissatisfaction with
its bed that is the greatest peculiar
ity of the Missouri 1t is harder to
suit in the matter of beds than trav.
cling man. Time after time it., has
gotten out of its bed in the. middle
Of the night, with no apparent provo.
cation, and has hunted up a new bed,
all Uttered with forests, cornAelds,
brick houses, railroad ties and tele.
graph poles. Then it has
suddenly taken a fancy to it's old bed,
which by this time has been filled with
suburban architecture, and back 1t has
gone with whoop and q rush, as hap.
py as II it had really found something
worth while.
Quite naturally this makes life
along the Missouri little bit uncer.
tain. Ask the citizen of Missouri
river town on which side of the river
he lives, and he will look worried and
will say: ION the east side when I
came away" Then he will 60 home
to look the matter up. and, like as
not. will find the river on the other
side of his humble home, and a gov
eminent steamboat pulling snags out
of his terstwhile cabbage patch.
