COMPLEX QUESTION
SETTLED BY COURT

The supreme court on Saturday
handed down an opinion in a rather
complex damage suit arising out of
an automobile collision. 1t was in
the case of. S. ]. Marchese, appellant
against John J. Metheny. appelle, this
county. Metheny was the owner of
an automobile which had been with
the firm of Orr & Miller for repairs.
He called for it when the job was
reported to be finished but he refused
to accept the delivery of the car
without test. Thereupon a mem
ber OF the firm and Metheny went
out with the car, an employe of the
garage riding on the running board
to listen to the operation of the ma
chinery.
In the area OF n street intersection
there was a collision with a Ford
truck, driven by Marchese. Metheny
sustained injuries in consequence of
which he brought suit for damages
against both Orr & Miller and Mar
cheese, alleging that at the time of
the accident, his automobile was be-
ing driven at a rate of speed 26 or
27 miles an hour while Marchese
Was hurrying along at 80 miles. He
alleged that his injuries were the re-
suit of the joint omission and negli-
gence of defendants in their viola
ton of the speed regulations as es-
tablisbed by the city.
Questions were also raised as TO
the relation between Orr and Miller
and Metheny as bailor, and bailee and
as master and servant. Orr and
Miller were exonerated and Metheny
was given judgment against Mar
chese.
The court held that It had nothing
TO do with the violation Of the city
ordinance unless it could be shown
that that was the proXimate cause
of the collision and that was not so
shown. But it was found that Mar
chese was guilty of negligence in
falling to give the automobile which
was approaching from his right, the
right of way, The judgment of the
lower court was affirmed.

OFFICER
PLACED IN CHARGE

A special officer was called by Rob-
ert II. Williams, the newly elected
president of the Lotus Valley Water
Users association, and placed in
charge of the offices OF the associa-
ton last night after several alleged
attempts on the part of faction to
regain possession of them and Of
the organizations records.
A guard, it was explained last even
ing. has been maintained day and
night at the offices. since the new
officers of the association took place
after the last stockholders meeting
following which the new officers
seized the records of the association
Aside from the alleged forcible en-
try made by several of the deposed
faction on Friday, and the removal
of the hinges from the back door OF
the office, no special trouble has oc-
CARED and it is hoped that the plac-
ing of an officer of the law on the
premises will result in the abating Of
the tension.
The breach among the stockhold-
erS, which came originally from the
employment of manager by the
former board of directors, has broad
ened, 1t is said. because of the acts
of majority OF the board.
After fruitless efforts to reach an
agreement from December l5 to jan
uary 10, forced adjournment was
taken. In this, however, a majority
of the stockholders took no part, with
the result that the premises and rec
ords came into the hands of the new
officers.
The association, according to Pres
ident Williams, has been formed to
further the preliminary details con-
nected with a proposal to build a
dam in the Bill Williams river to
impound waters which are to be used
in irrigating from $4,000 to 100000
acres of land in the Lotus valley.
