SALEM. Or., May -f??Th
Supreme Court today upheld the "ent ot
Tur,r,mnVi rrountv to compel a wealthy
sister to support her pauper brother, but
which the County Court sought to enforce
its right against Zarifa J. Fallng. the
sister of Cornelius W. Barrett.
Among other things, the court also de
nied the petition for a rehearing In the
Portland box ordinance cases, and re
versed the decision In which George Ab
bott secured a judgment for $20,000 dam
ages against the O. R. & X. and the Co
lumbia Southern. The decisions, in brief,
are as follows:
Fallng vs. Barrett.
Z. J. Fallng. appellant, vs. Cornelius W.
Barrett and Multnomah County, respond
ents, from Multnomah County, J. B.
Cleland, Judge, reversed and remanded:
opinion by Chief Justice Wolverton.
The County Court cited Mrs. Faling to
appear and show cause why she should
not be directed to support her brother, or
pay the county for the use of the poor
$30 a month, or such sum as the court
might deem sufficient. She appeared spe
cially and moved to quash the order re
quiring her to show cause for the reason
that the petition does not state facts suf
ficient to Justify the order and because
the court Is without Jurisdiction to
make it. '
The motion having been overruled, she
declined to plead further, and Judgment
was entered against her requiring her fb
support her brother or pay to the county
$30 a month. She took this proceeamg oy
writ of review to the Circuit Court,
where the County Court was sustained
and the writ dismissed. She then ap
pealed to the Supreme Court, where the
Circuit Court and County Court are re
versed.
After quoting section 2653 of the code.
bearing upon the subject at hand, the
Supreme Court says that the County
Court has only the power, after a hear
ing, to order the person cited to support
the pauper relative, and in case of failure
to do so, the counts' must bring suit in
the Justice's or other court having juris
diction, to recover the amount that should
be paid. It Is the province of the court
in which the suit Is brought to take the
testimony, determine what amount Is
proper for recovery, and enter judgment
accordingly. This case is therefore re
manded. with instructions that the Coun
ty Court modify its order to correspond
with this opinion.
Abbott vs. O. R. & X.
George Abbott, respondent, vs. Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company and the
Columbia Southern Railway Company,
appellant, from Sherman County, W. L.
Bradshaw, Judge, reversed and remand
ed: opinion by Justice Moore.
Abbott is a woolbuyer, aged T9 years.
and on June 27, 1903. was at Shaniko. That
night a special train took him and others
to Biggs, where the O. R. . & N. night
trains would stop for them by special
arrangement. The Shaniko train reached
Biggs soon after midnight and most of
the passengers left on the eastbound O.
R. & N. train at 12:22.
Abbott waited for the 3:30 westbound
train. The station being closed as usual.
he remained in the Columbia Southern
car for ..some time, and went out on
the depot platform. The platform was
not lighted and he stepped oft the west
end, where he fell five feet to the ground.
suffering an Injury which necessitated the
amputation of his leg. He secured judg
ment for $30,000 damages.
On appeal, the Supreme Court reviews
the evidence, finds that Abbott was per
fectly familiar with the depot platform.
that It was not necessary for him to
leave the well-lighted car when he did to
go and walk upon an unlighted depot
platform "on the darkest night he ever
saw." but. having done so, his injury re
sults from his own contributors negli
gence, thereby precluding recovery.
In its opinion the Supreme Court asserts
the right of a passenger to alight from a
train to get exercise and fresh air when
it stops at stations In the daytime or at
well-lighted stations at night, but the
fact that a station platform Is not lighted
is notice to a passenger not to alight un
less It is necessary Tor him to do so.
Jennings vs. Frazicr & McLean.
O. O. Jennings, appellant, vs. J. S. Seed,
defendant, and Frazicr & McLean, re
spondents, from Multnomah County, M.
C George. Judge, affirmed: opinion by
Justice Bean.
Jennings sought to collect -a $5000 judg
ment against Seed by garnishment pro
ceedings against Frazicr & McLean, who
had recently purchased horses and vehi
cles! from. Seed. The lower court found
that, the purchase was in Jfood faith and
the Supreme Court finds no error.
Smith vs. Greyson.
Luther Smith, administrator of the W,
S. Nelson estate, respondent, vs. C. F.
Leavenworth et al-. defendants, and
Moses Gregson. appellant, from Jackson
County. H. K. Hanna. Judge, affirmed;

WRANGLE OVER COUNTY DEBTS
Accountants for Shoshone and ?cz
Pcrccs Canrtot Agree.
BOISE, Idaho. May 22. (Speclal.)-In
the Supreme Court today an interesting;
case was heard, growing out of the -annexation
of a portion of Shoshone County
to Nez Pcrces. The case. Is in the form
of an application for a writ of mandamus
to compel Leslie Thompson, accountant
appointed by Nez Pcrces County, to' act
with a like accountant named by Sho
shone, to apportion the debt of Shoshone
to b assumed by Nez Pcrccs. The ac
countants differed on many points, no re
port was filed, and it la sought to compel
Thompson to file one.
One point of difference arises from the
fact that Shoshone County assessed -Umber
belonging to the Clearwater Timber
Company in the annexed territory. The
Ncz'Perccs accountant resists this, on the
ground that the timber was not assess
able. ' W. E. Borah was in court. He
stated that If the court Intended to pass
upon that point he wished to be heard as
attorney for some of the tirobermen. The
cour did not Intimate what it would do.
The Shoshone County accountant insist
ed upon apportioning the debt as of date
of November II, 19M, after the vote of the
people on the change, while the Nez
Pcrces man held it should be as of May
S, 1903, when the act submitting the ques
tion became effective. Many other points
0f difference were brought out
County Attorney Crow, for Nez Perces.
insisted the debt apportioned should not
be made a charge against Nez Pcrces, but
against the annexed territory. Nez Pcrces

matter was taken under advisement.
VALLEY IRRIGATION SCHEME
TAKES THIS IX.
Provision Is Thus Made for Low

Rivers.
3SUGENE, Or., May 22. (Special.)-To
day A. R. Black filed notice with the
County Clerk of'the appropriation of the
waters of Waldo Lake for Irrigation and
other purposes. Mr. Black Is at the head
of an irrigation scheme for the Upper
Willamette Valley, and his filing on the
waters of Waldo Lake Is with the veiw
of employing the same in the Valley
scheme.
Waldo Lake is situated 'near the sum
mit of the Cascade Mountains, in this
county, and the waters to be used for lrrl
gation must be brought down by the Mid
dle Fork of the Willamette, a distance
of about SO miles.
The object of appropriating tnis water
is to obviate any trouble in the way of
riparian rights, which might be possible
at a low stage of water in the rivers. If
much water was diverted from the usual
channel. The lake offers an opportunity
for storing water when it Is plentiful, and
this may be taken at low-water stages
without interfering in the least with the
rights of others.
It is estimated the lake will provide
storage for 250.000 acres feet of water.
which will be sufficient to irrigate 100,000
acres of land during the dry season.

assets so far discovered arc $1821, of which
KS00 is in notes. There was $16 in the

The most disorganized state of affairs
seems to exist In tho books of the bank.
J. B. Toung, the president. Is also presi
dent of the Goldfield Lida Investment
Company. Two checks drawn on the John
Cook Bank here by W. R. Hale, of San
Francisco, each for $5000, in favor of
Francis L. Burton, promoter of the Gold-
field Lida Investment Company, were re
cently paid by the insolvent bank. One
of these checks was dated May 23. and
was paid May 20. It was evidently pre

"no funds," W. R. Hale having no ac
count there.
The bank has two cashier debit slips,
one for $36,500, and another for $7200, ac
count stocks and bonds as collateral.

that he was opposed to the manner In
which the bank was conducted by its
cashier and directors.
According to Mr. Young, he sold his
stock In the bank and denies that he fled
from Goldfield. On the contrary, he says
that he came to San Francisco for a brief
trip, and that he intends to return to the
mining town as soon as possible.
Toung does not believe that the liabili
ties of the bank will exceed $100,000, and
he says that It should have assets enough
to meet this amount.
