Line Fence Case Handled by Judge After hanging fire for six years in> the courts the case of Earl Anderson vs. Russell and Roy Bales in which the plaintiff ask­ ed damages in the sum of $982 was closed one day last week when Judge Johnson rendered a decision in favor of the plaintiffs after dismissing a jury that had been in the box a day listening to the testimony. The plaintiff charged that the defendants had neglected a line fence, tha t their livestock got in­ to his fields and damaged his crops. The court ruled that the law provides that such cases be heard in* a justice of the peace's court, and that appraisers be appointed to set the value of the damage done.
