Cherokee Cases In
The Supreme Court
Before adjourning for the term,
Lhe Supreme Court handed down a
r.lllllhl-r of oIljniAi.u in car.cs Cn.Sppea!.
among tVw Walker vs. Oilbam
And Davis vs. T. J. Woodward Lumber
Company. As
In the case of Walker vs. Odom,
the defendant appealed from a judgment
amercing him in Uu* sum of
c?ny hundred dollars for failure to
crvo procees ns Sheriff of Cherokee
County. In this case the Supreme
Court reversed the judgment rendered
hv Jlltltre Shaw and diami?nd
the action, as having been improperly
instituted. . N. ?
In the case of Davis vs. \Yoodwnr<$
I.umber Company, a judgment had :
been rendere din favor of E. E. Davis
vs. Woodward Lumber Company,
and upon motion of the Luntber
Company had been set aside far excusable
neglect, and Davis appealed
10 the suprenv court, which affirmid
the ruling of Judge Lane in setting
aside the judgment, and the
case is reinstated upon the docket
for trial.
In the case brought by the Caroline-Tennessee
Power Company vs.
Hiuwassee Power Company and others,
no decision was rendered, which
confirmed the opinion of interested
attorneys who felt that on account
of the immense amount of testimony
and records to he gone over, time
for decision would bt lacking before
tli<? court adjourned. It is probable
that no decision will be rendered
until the court convenes again
next August.
