In whleh a foriner opinion of the court.
Written by Judge Oldham. i vacated and
new law In the matter of accredited landa
la glrn In Nebraska. The -mirt holds
that where the Missouri river changes Ha
course and abandona Ita former bed the
respective riparian ownera are entitled
tri the possession and ownerahlp of the soil
formerly under the waters aa far as tha
thread of tha stream, and may maintain
Jee.tmant to oust aquatters within such
limits.
Tha opinion waa written by Judge Let
ton upon a rehearing which was granted
"because of the questions of great public
importance Involved and because tha former
opinion was written without an orul argu
ment before the commission. Tha court
cleaves to tha old common law of England
on lh subject of riparian ownerahlp.
holding that such doctrine Is not contrary
to tha laws and constitution of the atate
and nation. The opinions of the supreme
court of the t'ntU-d States hive held
that tha ownership of land In the former
bed of navigable streams shall be at the
disposal of the Intersected states.
The"queetlon of ownership of accreted
land was presented to the court for the
flrst time In this rase, although other
cases have presented It Incidentally, but
its determination was not necessary-to tha
tllsposltlon of the rases.
The court defines the common law of
loarlan ownerships as giving the owner
stream title
stated
iformly
possession or tne accreiea tanas ana
have been permitted to gain title to it.
That tha common law rule of giving own
ership ta tha thread of the stream Is proper
and for the general welfare of Nebrasksn
is affirmed by the court.
The court says: "To hold otherwise -In
case of a stream of the characteristics of
tha Missouri river.mlgl.t well lead by way
of repeated changea of tha river's channel
to additions to tha public domain at the
expense of adjoining proprietors. For ex
ample. In this case, If we should hold
that tha bed of the abandoned stream be
longed to the state of Nebraska, by the
sama reasoning the bed of the new chan
nel belongs to the state, and if the river
should again change its channel by another
avulsion, thus leaving the new bed dry.
tha stato would then be tha owner of the
land In tha two abandoned river beds and
tha new channel. The property in the flrrt
and second beds would be wrested without
compensation from the property of private
individuals."
Mvlntyre tai A formed. .
The court has affirmed the decision of tha
court of Dawes county In which Philip Mc
Intyre. the lawyer from Texas, was sen
tenced to the state penitentiary for forgery.
It Is held that under the practice of the
court, where the record contains no bill of
exceptions and tha pleadings are sufficient
:to support tha Judgment of the trial court,
it w ill be afflrnie J. Mclntyre can now bring
hie action for writ of habeas corpus, as be
declared he would should the appeal be af
firmed. Mclntyre la an aged lawyer with a
w. 'nd adjoining a navigable strear
"the center of the stream. It Is
ert the riparian owners have unil
'Mekan possession of the accreted lam
vehicle Is declared erroneous. The court
says that aa a general rule there can be no
such thing a Imputed negligence except
where the privity which exists In law be
tween master and servant and principal and
agent Is found.
Cordson Mast Sre Time.
Fred Cordson of Thurston county will be
compelled to serve a term of seven year" in
the penitentiary aa a penalty for Inceat.
This was the aentence of the district court
and the rase was carried up, the contention
being that tho Information did not state
facta eufflrlent to charge Mm with the com
mission of any crime.
Deplalnn Indian I.aari
The widow of an allottee, of Omaha. In
dian lands Is entitled to a life estate in tha
equitable fee of her deceased husband with
remainder over to the Issue of the marriage,
or to the surviving father or mother of the
husband Is no Issue survive her. This Is
the opinion of the court ir. the case of "Wil
liam Reese against Wataewa Harlan. Sol
omon Woodliull against Aggie Woodhull
and Mrs. Joseph Harlan against Alice Fre
mont. These three cases come from Thurs
ton county and Involve the right of a widow
of an allottee to a life estate in the unex
pired equitable title of the allottee or In
dian lands after th death of her huband
aa against the fatheT or mother of the de
ceased. The appellant claims that the un
expired term of twenty-five years during
which the United States holds the legal
title In trust is a chattel real, which de
scends to the next of kin. and that our
statute giving tho widow a Ufa estate In the
absence of is.tue is not eppltcable. The
court holds against the contention of appel
lant and the decree of the district court Is
affirmed.
Contract at Traaaferable.
Tha aunreme court holds that contract
for legal sen-Ices is personal In Its nature j
and cannot be aligned by one party with
out the consent of the other. The decision
of the Douglas county court in the case
of Trill A. Corson against Mary Lewla Is
affirmed. Corson Instituted suit against tho
Omaha street railway company for Mary
Lewis and secured a contract with fc"r
husband for payment for his services. Be
fore the caae was settled Corson became
mentally derawged and George W. Cooper
went into, tlia case In his place. Mrs.
Lewis employed another attorney, T. J.
Mahoney, who settled tpie, caae with the
company for $1,300. I
When Corson returned to hla practice ha
filed a motion to have the Judgment of
dlsmlssnl aet aside, alleging It to huva been
entered into colluslvely and In fraud of his
rights to an attorney's lien on the money
received from the compromise. The motion
was overruled In tha lower court and the
decision la affirmed In the aupreme court.
The court holds that death or disability
w.ich renders the performance of such a
contract aa between Lewis and Corson Im.
possible' annuls tha contract.

Fatal Flarht Over Card a.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. Nov. 1. -(Special
Telegram.) Wflllsm W. Hillis was shot and j
killed last night by J. F. Wallage, a lv .
errman. In tha basement of Bock's billiard
hall. The shooting occurred at midnight, j
Wallage Immediately telephone.1 to Sheriff '.
Punket and tha latter took him Into us-
tody. Harold Nyboe and O. S. Krout ara
detained as wllne-ee. a third witness,
named Lee, having fled the city.
nees Krout states that Wallage and
Hillis were In a game of cards and that
suddenly Hillis attacked TCatage with a
beer bottle. No difficulty had arisen over
the cards and no words had been passed.
HUlls made a sudden attack. 'Wallage se
cured his gun and fired. The fliat shot wetit
wild.
Nyboe states that he was not there, Tut
upstairs at the time. Krout states that
after tha first shot he got out, going up
stairs. Another story has It that Hillis got
Waling down and was on top of him on
tha floor when Wallage managed to get the
revolver out of his pocket, to get his arm
free and get It around the man on top of
him. The bullet was fired Into the body In
tha back and evidently penetrated tha
heart. Death was Instantaneous.
Asked whether he would not make a
statement Wallage declined, preferring not
to say anything.
II is known that there has been bad blood
between the two men for some time. Hillis
once chased Wallage several blocks and
through tha latter's own livery barn, but
nothing csme of it. Mrs. Hillis at the last
term of district court secured a divorca
from HUlls on the grounds of cruelty, and
it is stated that Hillis always believed
Wallage had more or less to do with the
case. Mrs. Hillis lives here and declares
that Hillis haa been a gambler ever since
they were married, having never followed
an occupation.
The coroner's Jury was In session all of
the afternoon and this evening returned a
verdict rinding that the death of HUlls re
sulted from a gunshot wound from a re
volver discharged by Wallage, and the
Jury believed from the evidence before It
that Wallage acted In self-defense.
1 ne arrair naa eausea considerable of a
stir In the community. There have been j
frequent raids of places at which gambling j
was suspected and arrests of persons with j
varying success; James Bock gave testl-
mony at the Inquest which led to a com- !
plaint against him and he was tonight ar
rested and fined $2S and costs. Mayor
Hchuff has given orders that every saloon
must close at 12 o'clock and remain closed
until 5 In the morning. All saloon keepers
were notified tonight and the order ways
