of the liquor alleged to have been sold. Ths
proof showed the khI. that though labeled
and branded by snot her name, whW h w aa
for the purpnw of deception, the liquor con
tained to a large degree the kind and qual

Information under the provlxions of section
14, chapter 6 Compiled Btstutes.
I (is. A. lash acainst cuooen. appeal irvm
Lancaster. Affirmed. Fawcett, J.
1. April 5. !!. the Irglslsture passed an
set to establish and locate an additional
state normal school; and. supposing at the
time, that another act passed April 1. l!.
cresting "the Normal Hoard of Education.
was valid act. and that such board was
the one unon which would devolve the
carrying Into effect of the said first named
art. Its name wits used in said an. &y
subsequent proceedings in this court. In
htate against Majors. KS Nebraska js, lis
N. W. 4ai, the act of April 1, lm. was
held unconstitutional and void; held, that
the act of April 6, 1W9. was not Invalidated
by the mistake of the legislature aa to
name, and that the duty of carrying it
into effect devolved upon the existing
board, defendant herein.
2. The act of April 6, 1. provided, that
cities and towns, competing for the lo
cation of the state normal school, should
file their applications with the secretary
of the normal Board of Education within
sixty days after the said act became ef
fective: held, that time was not of tne
essence of the thing to be done, and that
such provision was directory merely and
not mandatory.
8. And the fact that prior to the decision
of this court In .State against Majors, on
November 16, 1W9, the Board of Education
waa unwilling to take the responsibility of
establishing and locating the school pro
vided for In said act, did not deprive said
board of Its right to thereafter proceed
with the discharge of the duties enjoined
by said act,
4. And the fact that the city of Chadron
filed its application with the -"Normal
Hoard of Education, ' Instead of with the
Board of Education, did not preclude such
city from having Its application considered
by the Board of Education after It had
resumed the exercise of its powers and
functions, it appearing that said applica
tion was received and filed by said board
before It had taken any action in the
premises.
6. And the failure of defendant board to
visit the various cities and towns com
peting for the location of the state normal
school and select a site for the location
of said school within ths time specified
in the act of the legislature, was im
material, aa the later visitation of such
points and selection of such site accom
plished the substantial purposes of the
statute. '
6. All corporations capable of taking and
holding property have the Jus dlsponendi
as fully as natural persons, except so far
as they are restrained by statute, or are
prohibited by their articles of Incor
poration or outstanding contracts; and
under this general power a corporation may
dispose of the whols of its property for
any lawful purpose.
7. A college Incorporated by the statutory
number of resident freeholders, for "the
promotion of Christian education by har
moniously developing the moral, mental
and physical powers of those who share
Its advantages." which obtains its real
estate by purchase and receives its title
thereto in an unconditional warranty deed,
and whose trustees are elected "by the
Northwestern Association of Congregational
Churches In Nebraska." and which obtains
a considerable portion of its funds by
soliciting and obtaining "written subscrip
tions bv way of contributions from people
of all denominations and of no denomina
tion, which were given and paid in the
treanury of the corporstion without any
written condition, trust or purpose of obli
gation, except that the same "were to be
used for the purposes of the corporation
In purchasing land, erecting buildings, put
ting thoni up and supplying the school."
does not thereby become a religious, sec
tarian or eleemosynary corporation or In
stitution, so as to preclude a sale by the
trustees of said corporation of any or all
of its properly, real or personal, which
sale will not divert the property from the
purpose for which It was obtained and used
by such corporation.
8. The evidence examined and set out In
the opinion as to the acts of the board of
education, defendant herein, subsequent to
the decision of this court In Utate against
Ma.lors. In relation to the establishment
and location of an additional normal school
at Chadron. held, within the scope of the
powers delegated to such board by the act
of Anril 5. 1909.

2. In such a case if the other children
claim the real estate under their father's

tried in the district court, the defendants
will not be heard in this court to urge that
defense.

Appeal from Adams. Affirmed. Hedg
wlck. J.
When the owner of real estate authorizes
several respective brokers or agents to sell
or exchange the same, but gives neither an
exclusive agency, the agent or broker who
actually effects the sale or exchange Is en
titled to the commissions. The agent under
such contract, who negotiates with a pur
chaser but does not effect a sale, cannot
recover commissions.
16.261 Chapln against Village of College
View. Appeal from Lancaster. Affirmed.
Hoot, J. Heese, C. J., not sitting.
1. A Judgment of the district court in a
proceeding prosecuted under section 101,
article 1, chapter 14. Complied Statutes, to
exclude territory from the boundaries of a
municipal corporation, will not be set aside
on appeal unless it is made to appear that
the trial court committed an important mis
take of fact, or made an erroneous infer
ence of fact or of law.
2. And this rule applies with peculiar
force where the trial Judge Inspected the
premises before rendering Judgment.
ItiJtU. State against Village of College

Hoot, J., Keese. C. J., not sitting.
1. A nonresident owner of agricultural
lands illegally included within the bound
aries of a village may maintain proceed
ings by quo warranto for the purpose of
preventing the municipality from exercis
ing Jurisdiction over his real estate.
2. But in such a case the relator should
not prevail if he and those under whom
he claims title for Blxteen years after the
municipality under color and claim of
right assumed to treat said property as
purt of the village, stood by without sub
stantial objection until streets were graded
and a permanent sidewalk built so as to
connect the relator's property with the
built-up part of tho village and his land
lies between the business section of the
village and the only railway within its
limits.
Ii429. Piper against Neylon. Appeal from
Lancaster. Reversed and remanded. Rose,
J., Fawcett, J., not sitting.
In a suit on an unpaid, past due negoti
able promissory note, it is error for the
trial court to refuse a request for a per
emptory instruction in favor of plaintiff,
where the uncontradicted evidence of wit
nesses who&e credibility is not questioned
shows that plaintiff Is a bona fide holder
of the note and that he purchased it for
value before maturity without knowledge
of any Infirmity therein and of facts In
dicating bad faith in taking it.
177. Alt against state. Error from Hall.
Affirmed. Rose, J. (Sedgwick, J., concurs
in conclusion.
1. In a criminal prosecution the trial court
in giving instructions may describe the of
fence in the language of the statute.
2. In changing the Jury it la not neces
sarily Improper to make quotations from
the statute under which defendant is being
prosecuted.
3. 1 he act granting to electric power com-
panlt-t the right to use public highways for
poles and wires (Comp. St. ch. 2ba, sec. 1),
does not apply to telephone companies
whose operations are confined exclusively
to telephone service.
4. Where a telephone company constructs
Its lines along a public highway in a
proper manner under the terms of a legisla
tive grant and uses them in the public ser
vice, a railroad company has no authority,
either by Itself or by an employ, to treat
the wires at a railroad crossing as a nui
sance and cut them down, if they do not
In any way endanger railroad employes or
Interfere with the moving of trains or with
the railroad right of way.
6. In determining the respective rlgnts
of a telephone company and a railroad com
pany at a place where the telephone wires
on a public highway cross the railroad right
or way, the rights or the public as well
as the property rights should be considered.
. W here the evidence in a criminal prose
cution will sustain a conviction for the of
fense charged in the information, it Is error
to direct an acquittal.
7. "The fact that a defendant was acting
as the agent of another In the commission
of an offense will afford no excuse or
Justification for the act In a prosecution
therefor." Allyn against state, Jl Neb. bS3.
8. In original law "malice may denote
that condition of mind which Is manifested
by the intentional doing of a wrongful act
without Just cause or excuse.
9. In a prosecution against a railroad em
ploye for cutting telephone wires on a high
way at a railroad crossing, the trial court
properly held the Jury was Justified In find
ing that defendant, though following the
instruction of his employer, did not act
without mellce, where the proof showed
thiit the wires did not In any way endanger
railroad employes or Interfere with moving
trslns. or with the rallroed right-of-way,
and thst he had been told by an agent
of the telephone company not to cut the
wires and had been warned of the con
seouences. Iftmo. Keck against Anderson. Appeal
from Wayne. Affirmed. Sedgwick, J

them to sign petition for saloon license and
that thev desired to be so qualified and

Where a city, under power expressly dele
gated by the legislature, passes an ordi
nance regulating the location of stock

footing as a statute and will not be de

interference with the rights of the owners

1. If an officer of a corporation orally
promises a prospective purchaser of the cor
porate stock to repay the purchase price
at any time ana the purchaser acts upon
the promise, the agreement is an original
contract and is not within the statute of
irauus. 1 he promisor does not therein'
agree to answer for the debt, default oV
misdoings of another person, nor does he
agree to purchase goods, wares, merchan-
aine or tilings in action.
2. And In such a case the purchaser is
noi estopped rrom maintaining her action
because Intermediate the date of her pur

lGtrro. Johnson against State. Error from
Lancaster. Affirmed. Sedgwick, J.
1. An indictment under section 4 of the
criminal code should not charge in the
same count that the defendant used and
employed, and advised to be used and em
ployed instrumentsato procure tin abortion
but such indictment Is not demurable. for
duplicity since the allegation that defend
ant advised such instruments to be used
and employed does not state an offense
without alleging that some person other
than the defendant committed the act; it
is Immaterial that the defendant advised
the act which he committed himself, and
such allegation should be rejected as sur
plusage.
2. If an information and an indictment
are both pending in the same court at the
same time charging the same party with
the same offense the prosecutor should be
required to .elect under wlilcii he will pro
ceed, as required by section 4.15 of the
criminal code; but that section has no
application when the defendant has waived
examination before the magistrate and has
been held to appear In the diHtrlot court
and has been indicted by the grand jury
lor the ornuise charged berore the inagls
trate. and no Information has been filed.
S. In a trial for felony the prosecution
should examine In the first instance such
witnesses as tiave of the res gestae. If such
witnesses prove hostile to the prosecution
the court has discretion to allow such ex
amination as will bring out the truth be-
iore me jury. wnen, nowever, tne res
gestae Is clearly proven, and the defendant
Is represented by competent counsel, the
court has discretion to refuse to reoulre
the prosecution to call witnesses supposed
to he Interested In the defense.
4. The trial court is not required to in
struct the Jury in ths precise language re
quested by ths defendant, though such re
quest correctly states tha lgw. If an In
struction is given substantially stating the
law as requested It Is sufficient.
6. Whether a sufficient foundation has
been la'd to admit evidence of statements
of a deceased person is a question of law
for the court. If such evidence is admitted
It Is for the Jury to determine Its reliability
and weight.
6. I'nless It appears that the evidence in
the trial of a criminal case Is so deflcien
that all reasonable minds. If unlnfluon d
bv passion or prejudice, must agree that
there Is reasonable doubt of the guilt o
the defendant, a reviewing court t-anno
set aside the verdict of the jury as un
supported ty the evidence.
Ii4i Kerr against tiering Co. Appeal

versed and permit cancelled. Barnes. J.
1. A Judgment of the district court dls
missing an appeal rrotn the order of i
licensing board granting a druggists per
mlt to sell Intoxicating liquors is a flna
Judgment from which an appeal may be
taken to the supreme court, and the fact
that the district court assumes to dlrei
further action by the licensing hoard does
not deprive the aggrieved party of tha
right.
J. The statute provides that on an appeal
from the order of the licensing board the
evidence taken before that board shall be
certified to he district court and the case
be tried there and determined upon such
evidence only; and wher an appeal is
prosecuted rrom the judgment or the dls
trict court tha clerk of that court is re
quired to certify such transcript of th
evidence to the court of review. When
mis is property none a motion to dismiss
the new appeal for want or a bill of ex

2. The employes In charge of the op

S. Questions as to whether a bell was

Reversed and remanded. Fawcett. J. Rose,
J , not sitting. Barnes and Root, J. J., dis
senting. 1. The purpose of article 3, chapter 18 of
