Ford Motor Co. v. Potter

MOREMEN, Judge.

Appellants, Ford Motor Company and Fordson Coal Company, hereinafter called Ford, have appealed from a judgment wherein Barton S. Potter and others, hereinafter called Potter, were adjudged to be the owners of a tract of land lying on the headwaters of Ulysses Creek and of Lower Jack’s Creek in Clay County. A ridge separates the two watersheds, and the land, involved here is divided by it into east and west parts. About three-fourths of the land is situated on Lower Jack’s Creek, —or Jaw Bone, its tributary — and the remaining one-fourth on Ulysses Creek.
