SAL.EM, Or., Juno 30. Tho Supreme
Court today handed down decisions affirm
ing three former decisions and reversing
one. The decisions follow:
G. D. Simmons, respondent, vs. Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company, appell
ants, from Umatilla County; "W. R. Kills,
judge; affirmed. Opinion by Chief Jus
tice Bean.
This was an action to recover damages
lor personal Injuries suffered by the plain
tiff through the negligence of the operat
ors of a train upon which he was riding.
Plaintiff was a lire man In the employ of
defendant, and while off duty was riding
in the cabooee of a freight train, return
ing from a -visit to the company's physi
cian. He had no paw ana had ridden
that way before, though the rules, un
known to him, forbade it. He was in
jured as a result of a collision caused by
the negligence of the trainmen. The
question presented before the Supreme
Court was whether the conductor of the
freight train bad apparent authority to
accept Simmons as a passenger and to
create the relationship of pasaenger and
carrier between "him and defendant; and,
if so, whether he Is to be regarded as a
passenger or an employe at the time of
the injury. It is held that:
"The fact that the plaintiff was being
carried gratuitously Is Immaterial, if the
company accepted him as a passenger,
and expressly or impliedly agreed to
transport him as such.
"Where freight and passenger business
are not entirely separated, one who, with
out knowledge of the company's regula
tions to the contrary, gets In a car at
tached to a freight train, designed and
prepared for carrying passengers, and Is
allowed by the conductor to ride therein,
is to be regarded as a passenger and en
titled to recover for an injury received
through the company's negligence, even
thougn the conductor may have "been pro
hibited by the rules of the company from
carrying passengers on that particular
train.
"The company assumed to carry such
passengers as complied with its rules on
certain of its freight trains. It was the
duty of the conductors of Its trains to
enforce these rules. For that purpose
they stood In the place and as the repre
sentative of the company, and by their
acts the company Is bound."
Jt is also held that plaintiff was not
tra cling as an employe, but as a pas
senger. Oregon Land & Construction Company,
respondent, vs. Allen Ditch Company, ap
pellant, from Umatilla County; W. It.
Ellis, judge; reversed. Opinion by Jus
tice "Wolverton.
The plaintiff, being the owner of 1520
acres of land, through Which the Umatilla
River, a non-navigable stream, flows,
sought to enjoin the defendant from di
verting any of the water thereof In dis
regard of Its riparian right. The defend
ant's title is based upon a prescriptive
right, that is, diversion and .user for a
period of more than 10 years last past, and
that constitutes the principal question in
the case. The defendant does not claim
to be the owner of the water or to have
any right to use it, but that it Is a man
aging concern for its better control and
distribution among the individuals having
an interest in the company. They are:
Moses Trlbble, Fred Andrews, M. T. Al
len,' Elvira Teel, B. F. McOuIlongh, C. J.
"Ward, B. F. Raley, Henry Baumgartner,
John Boyce, W. H. Babb, Twig Teel and
J, H. Leasure. The decision of the lower
court was against the defendants.
The Supreme Court lays down the fol
lowing rules of law regarding the acquire
ment of the right to use of water by pre
scription: "The plaintiff's riparian right to have
the water. fto,w in the stream undiminished
in quantity; -except by the reasonable use
ttjereof by riparian proprietors, is ap
purtenant to the land running with It as
a corporeal hereditament. . . .
"Plaintiff's riparian rights have been ln
vaddd by the diversion, by defendant. . ..
. To render the enjoyment of an ease
ment exclusive evidence of right, It must
have been continued uninterrupted or
pacific and adverse; that is. under a claim
of right, with the implied acquiescence
of the pwner. . . . The adverse hold
ing of Jand and of an easement consti
tuting Ihe use of water are exactly par
allel, S3 far .as the similarity of the prop
erty win admit of It. . . . Literally,
there can be no occupancy of water.
There may be a use of it. Three elements
must exist an intent to apply the same
to some "beneficial use, diversion and an
actual application within a reasonable
time to some Useful Industry."
Upon a review of the testimony, the
Supreme Court holds that the defendant
lias used adversely for 10 years an amount
of wator that will flow through an aper
ture seven and a half feet by 12 Inches,
under a six-Inch pressure. The defendant
Is allowed -to continue the use of that
amount, btit enjoined from using any
more.
Edmond D. LeClare, respondent, vs N.
H. Thlbault and Marie X. Thlbault, ap
pellants, from Baker County; Robert
Eakin. judge; affirmed. Opinion by Jus
tice Mooie. i
TWs.was a suit to foreclose a mortgage.
The defenses were, first, that the note and
mortgage were given In plaintiff's name in
trust for the Empire Mining Company,
which owned the land purchased and upon
which the mortgage wae given, and that
the money had "been paid to the company;
ahd, second, that plaintiff falsely repre
sented that he owned a one-fourth Inter
est in the mine, and the defendant, rely
ing therepn, was inducrd to purchase
said interert'for $2300. and giving the note
and mortgage mentioned, that defendant
sent plaintiff various sums of money to
operate the mines, the amounts of which
he could not remember, that plaintiff con,
verted tnese sums to his own use, and
tnat lie is inso.vent. An accounting was
demanded in the answer. A demurrer to
the anrwer was sustained In the lower
court, and in upholding this ruling the
Supreme Court says that the first state
ment of defense was defective, in that it
did not allege that the Empire Mining
Company was a corporation or partner
ship authorized to receive money or capa
ble of discharging the defendant from lia
bility. The second defense, a counter
claim for money advanced. Is held de
fective, for the reason that It is not
shown to have arisen out of the contract
set forth in the complaint, which was
upon a note and mortgage. Other fatal
defects are also found in the answer, and
the lower court is sustained.
United States Mortgage & Trust Com
pany, respondent, vs. P. L. Willis, appel
lant, from Multnomah County; A. L. Fra
zer. Judge; reversed. Opinion by Chief
Justice Bean.
This was an action by the purchaser of
real estate at a judicial sale against a
tenant In possession under an unexpired
lease, to recover rent, or the value of the
use and occupation of the premises from
the day of sale. The defense was that de
fendant had paid the rent in advance,
prior to the sale. The lower court gave
judgment for plaintiff for the amount de
manded, $20 32 and costs and disburse
ments. The Supreme Court says that since the
lease was made subsequent to the mort
gage, the tenant took possession subject
to the rights of tho mortgagee. When
he paid the rent in advance he knew that
the mortgagee would be entitle to the
rent after date of sale. He cannot, there
fore, set up payment In advance as a de
fense. But, as the amount sued for was
less than J50, the judgment is reversed as
to costs and disbursements, and the caeo
Is remanded with Instructions to enter
Judgment for only ?20 23, with costs and
disbursements awarded to defendant.
M. S. Crossen, respondent, vs. EL .W.
Oliver, appellant, from Union County;
Robert Eakin, Judge; affirmed. Opinion
by Justice Wolverton.
This was -an action for the recovery of
real property, and plaintiff having pre
vailed, defendant appealed, alleging sev
eral errors Jn the court below. In affirm
ing the lower courts decision, tho Su
preme Court says, among other things:
"It Is not good practice to single out
the testimony of one witness, or to point
to a single Item of testimony, and instruct
the Jury that it is not sufficient to war
rant a verdict, when there Is other evi
dence In the caee which could rightfully
be considered in the same relation." This
the counsel for defense had asked the
court to do, but the request was refused.
"An attorney, In presenting his case to
the jury, la accorded a large degree of
freedom, and is entitled to draw from
the testimony adduced all legitimate In
ferences of which It is susceptible, and
to employ euch illustration and demon
stration as to him may seem best suited
to direct the attention of the jury to the
point Intended for emphasis."
Advance Thresher Company, appellant,
vs. Addle C. Esteb and I C. Esteb, re
spondents, from Union County; Robert
Eakin, Judge; affirmed. Opinion by Jus
tice Moo re.
This was a suit to recover possession of
real property. The essontlal points of law
decided arc as follows:
"An Intending purchaser of real prop
erty being under no obligation to exam
ine the public records to ascertain the
existence of mortgages given by a 3trang
er to the title, he Is not required to search
the taxrolls of the county, to see If the
property which he contemplates buying
may not have been assessed to some one
other than a grantee in the regular chain
of title."
It Is held that such a purchaser has not
constructive notice of litigation to which
the owners of record are not parties, and
that the fact that the purchasor took by
bargain and sale deed doss not prevent her
from becoming a bona fide holder of the
legal title.
Orpha Cutting vs. Fred Scherzlnger. re
hearing denied, hut decree modified so as
to allow Cutting credit for $462.
State vs. John Hall, dismissed.
Moore vs. Shofner, motion to retax costs
overruled.
McHargue vs. Hi A. Ball. School Super
intendent, Washington County, dismissed
and judgment against defcndanUaffirmcd.
New Zealand Insurance Company vs.
Smith, dismissed.
FERRELIi BACK FROM CHASE.
Sa? s Convicts Entered Hotme "Within
1100 Yards of Bloodhounds.
SALEM. Or., June 30. Charles Ferrell.
brother of Frank Ferrell, the penitentiary
guard murdered by Convicts Tracy and
Merrell, returned tonight from Tenlno,
Wash., where tho posse is hunting for the
fugitives. He will look after some urgent
business matters and return to the hunt
tomorrow evening. He says the last heard
of the fugitives was at Bucoda, where they
entered a house and asked for food within
100 yards of a number of members of the
posse and within 200 yards of Guard Carson
and his dogs. He believes- the convicts will
soon be caught, for the reason that they
are now In more open country, where they
cannot hide in brush. Guards have been
stationed at all places where tho convicts
may pass on their way to Tacoma, and
the men who are now taking part In-Hhe
hunt seem more determined than many of
those who have been In the posses here
tofore. During most of the time -ajtei
leaving Vancouver, Ferrell says, the wo-k
of guarding was left to Guard Carson, Cap
tain Lyon, Sklpton and himself, the men
who gathered around In the day time
going off duty at night- Ferrell has lost
heavily In flesh, and shows the effects of
loss of sleep. From the course the con
victs have taken, he judges that the pur
suers have traveled Ave miles to the con
victs' one.
Ferrell says that Carson's dogs are pretty
much played out with the continued work,
and not much more can be expected from
them, but he is in hopes that the two
dogs brought to Tenlno this mornlnc bv
Game Warden Maxey. of Ellensburg. will
prove helpful.

thieves who stole a buggy at Wlngvllle
and a team of horses from the O. R. &. X.

escaped Into the hills, but the other rode
on with the horses to Snako River, where
he left the horses, and took to the brush,"
The officers surrounded him on three
sides with the river on the fourth. They
felt sure of their man, because they dld
not think ho would be brave enough to"
try to swim the river, but in this they
were mistaken. He made aidrsh for the

to -an Island In the center, but the current
was too strong. He was carried past the

BEGIN DRILLING KIR COAL
NEW YORK CAPITALISTS "WILL DE
VELOP SALEM-PROSPECT.
Confident of Finding Good Mer
chantable Quality ot Feel In
dications Highly Favorable.
SALEM. Or., June 30. A company of
New York capitalists today began drilling
on the Blair Forward farm, iff the Waldo
Hills, east of Salem, to ascertain whether
coal exists there of quality and quantity
to make mining profitable. In 1SS0 pieces
of coal were found In a creek on the
farm, and upon search the outcropping of
a stratum of coal was found on a hill
side. The vein of coal and slate six feet
thick was followed into the hillside 100
feet. The men now at work have drilled
30 feet through sandstone, and from tho
nature, of the sandstone formation are led
to believe that the. prospects are good for
finding coal of merchantable quality. The
coal found in the tunnel made fire suf
ficiently hot to weld a bar of iron an
inch thick, and poked well. It Is believed
coal found at greater depth will be of still
utter quality. The Diamond Drill Con
tracting Company, of Spokane, has the
contract to drill 100 to 1CO0 feet, according
to what may be found.

"When Rheumatism settles in the bones and muscles of the legs.
it is safe to predict that the victim will eventually become helpless
and crutch-bound. The corrosive, irritating matter that is deposited
in the joints and muscles causes- the most intense pain, the knees
-and ankles swell, and when the natural oils and fluids that lubricate
these parts are completely destroyed the joints become locked and
the muscles drawn and stiff, and crutches a necessity.
The acid poisons that produce rheumatic pains form in the blood, and are
distributed through the system, and lodged in the arms, shoulders, hands,
back and feet, or other parts of the body resulting often in total disability.
A permanent cure of Rheumatism can be effected only by a complete cleans
ing of the blood, and no other remedy so surely accomplishes this as S. S. S.
It neutralizes the acid effects, purifies and invigorates the stagnant blood,
and the gritty particles are washed out or dislodged
by the new rich blood, and relief comes to the
pain-racked sufferer. S. S. S. leaves no morbid,
irritating matter in the blood to reunite and produce
another attack, but expels every atom of it from
the system. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy, and does not impair
the digestion or general health like alkali or potash remedies.
