WALSH FINED
McINNIS ACQUITTED

     Frank Walsh, engineer for the Northwestern Electric Co., and M. McInnis, a Lyle merchant, were tried before Justice A.B. Groshong Monday night on a charge of trespass on leased Indian land, preferred by C.C. Cottrell, engineer for the Lyle Power & Water Co. Walsh was fined $25 and costs and McInnis was acquitted. Walsh has appealed. The Northwestern, which has the riparian rights and a court-decreed right-of-way across the Emma Dave land for pipeline and flume, will have difficulty in freighting the material for their dam over the pipeline way, which is considered inaccessible for that purpose, and the rival company, which rented a portion of the land does not propose to yield the Northwestern a crossing and will regard them as trespassing.
