Smaiit, principal of the Windfall public schools, was arrested the other day charged with committing assault and battery upon the person of Clifford Clark, a lH-year-old scholar. A decision of far-reaching importance has been handed down by the supreme court of this state. Mrs. Mary Haggard owned a residence on College street, Indianapolis. John Steplin bought a lot adjoining and erected n building in which he opened a saloon, having secured a license according to the provisions of the statutes. Mrs. Haggard applied to the county commissioners to have the place closed, claiming it damaged her property. They decided that she had no remedy which they could grant The case then went to the circuit court where it was decided that if adjacent property was damaged 03- the presence of a saloon, it was such damage that did not lay the saloonkeeper liable. On an appeal to the supreme court the decision was sustained. Recently the court granted a new hearing to Mrs. Haggard with the result that it reversed itself on every point previously decided. The court held substantially that, while the law licenses saloons, the law can not establish and maintain that which isadmitted to be hurtful to the property of a citizen unless it can be shown that the general public is benefited, and i the injury is lost sight of in that j greater good. If the saloon causes property to depreciate in value it is a nuisance within the law and can be abated. Not only that, but the person who operates the saloon is liable in damages to the injured party, and the measure of damages is the measure of injury to the property. The license law, says the court is constitutional, but It was not the intention of the legislature to put the sale of intoxicants above the rights of the citizen and compel him to bear with a nuisance, and to suffer loss in order for the saloon to exist In commenting upon the case the court further declares that the business of the saloon is immoral, and it is for this very reason that it is licensed, that the law may afford the citizen protection against the greater evils that would result from its unrestrained sale.
