Bathing Beach.

e. B.-l nave olteH teau yoeA
umn of free legal advice, ana SO l
am submitting to you a question
which arose among a group OF Iei-
lows about the right of the Carter
Lake club to keep person out OF
its beach when that person enters
by the way of the lake.
A member of the club said they
own the beach to the center OF the
lake, but several of us understood
that the lake is government prop
erty. Such being the case, anyone
would have the right to swim any
where on it. If one entered from
the shore he would be trespasslns
on the clubs ground, but II ne en-
tiers from the lake he would remain
in government waters and would not
be arrested. The club holds that
they own it to the center OF the
lake, and so any one entering the
beach in any way trespasses their
property. Which is right?
Answer-We think that there is a
right to swim or float upon public
waters as we'll as to sail upon them,
. but we do not think that this in
cludes a right to use them for bath
ing purposes, as these words are
commonly understood.
Division of Property.
P. HI have good home here
in town which / paid for myself, but
two or three years ago l signed 1t
over to my wife. and since that time
it seems she got the children to go |
against me and make it a real h !
hole for me. told her we had
better divide up and quit, but she !
says no. Now, is not there any way !
1 can get half the property by law?
Answer-You can sue for divorce !
and ask for alimony. The division |
of property then would be left to
the court.
Divorce.
c. G.-You will have to reside In |
this state two years. AS to expense |
better see local attorney.
Farm Paper.
w. Al signed for farm paper |
for one year and paid for in ad
vance. When time was out they !
would send paper for two or three
weeks and then would stop for !
some time, then would send again. /
Kept this up for about one year,
then wanted me to pay for the same. |
Please advise what is best to do. !
Can they collect or not?
Answer-If you accepted the |
paper and did not notify the pub !
Usher that you desired the same |
discontinued you are liable. Ger /
tainf if the paper only came at in |
tervals you would not be liable for
the year subscription price.
Custody of Children,
B. C.-The court granted d.
vorce and gave me the custody of |
my two little girls. My former hus
band stated that he was going to
apply to the court for a writ Of ha-
beas corpus and get the possession
of the children. Can he do this or
must he apply to the court which
gave me the custody Of the chill
dren?
Answer-If the court had jurisdic-
ton that made the decree then an
application would have to be made !
to the court and your husband could
not get possession by habeas corpus
proceedings.
Negotiable -o:e.
J. G. WI signed a note guar
anteeing the payment. At the time
l signed 1t there was stenclled on
the note that l waived demand and
notice of protest. Can 1 be sued
along with the maker or must the
suit first be started against the
maker and then if the judgment is
not paid can they sue me?
Answer-Your signing the note
guaranteeing the payment makes
you an endorser and you may prop
erly be sued with the maker in the
same action.
