NORTHERN PAGIFIC MUST PAY DAMAGES Supreme Court Holds Railway Company Should Have Made Provision for Drain In treeless, occasionally rainless North Dakota, it is not necessary to the proof of a natural drainway that there should be proof of water flow- ing at all times or of a wearing away of the grass at the bottom, rules the supreme court, in finding the North- ern Pacific Railway company at fault for not providing an outlet for flood waters under its right of way at Dick- inson, thereby flooding the basement of a business house operated by Henry L. Reichert and William G. Ray, fol- lowing an unusually heavy downpour of rain a few years ago. Reichert & Ray recovered a verdict against :the railway company in the district court. The Northern Pacific appealed, and the supreme court today affirms the findings of the lower court. “In treeless areas such as those in North Dakota the courts must take cognizance of the natural topography of the country and of its climatic con- dition and that large volumes of water rush down such drainways in a few days or hours which in wooded dis- tricts would form continuous streams and take months to pass away,” says the supreme court. “The fact that such a flood is un- usual does not absolve ‘the railway company from liability, if its culverts constructed in an embankment across a natural drainway are inadequate to carry off the water and to save the adjoining property from loss. The question is whether it was beyond ordinary anticipation. Where the cul- vert or outlet is in fact insufficient for such purposes, the mere fact that competent engineers are employed or that the embankment is constructed in the manner usually adopted by rail- way companies will not save such company from liability. Where prop- erty is flooded by the inadequacy of a culvert in a railway embankment which is constructed across a natural drainway, the burden of proof to show that the rainfall was so unusual and unprecedented that it need not have been anticipated is upon the defend- ant. Murtha & Sturgeon and Thomas Pugh of Dickinson were attorneys for the plaintiffs, and Watson, Young & Co. for the defendant. on CORSETS Front Lace pr Back Lace Not only for white or pink. §8 and up. and fit of gowns. absolute comfort and excellent service so carefully blended with most advanced style. <=—Front Lace Model 1022 typifies the ideal in corsetry for average Sigures.
