In th case of the l'hoenlx Insurance company, which owned property In Lin coln, against the city of Lincoln and the Burlington, Northwestern and Missouri Pactglo railroads th supreme court holds that th railroads are liable for all dam ages to abutting property by reason of th construction ot a viaduct. In th lowr court a verdict was rendered In favor of th Insurance company and agslnat th city and th railroad Jointly. Th supreme court reversed th cas, holding that damage to abutting prop erty waa a legitimate part ot the cost of th viaduct and that th railroads alone were liable, absolving th city and ending the cas back to th lower court to determine th amount ot damage. KM a new trial oa th chars of steal lug hogs, but Incidentally the supreme court holds vslid the law making the stealing ot hogs a felony, regardless of the value ot the animal stolen, and also holds valid the Indeterminate sentence law. The court decides that the creation of prison board Is not Interesting that board with judicial powers. The cas I reversed on the ground that th evidence did not warrant a verdict ot guilty.
