The Court of Appeals has said that the 
owner of land is not under any obligation 
to make his land safe, or to keep it in any 
particular condition for the benefit of 
trespassers, intruders, mere volunteers or 
hare licensees, coming upon it without 
his invitation. Uutter the common law 
the owner of land was not bound to fence 
his land or in any way mark the boun¬ 
daries of his possession. So long as you 
do not interfere with the water supply of 
your neighbor you have a right to dig a 
ditch on your own land for the purpose 
of drainage, but of course you canuot 
turn this water onto your neighbor’s land. 
The fence law provides that each of two 
adjoining owners must make and main¬ 
tain his share of the division fence, ex¬ 
cept where they both agree to let the land 
lie open. N. T.

Divorce After Five Years’ Absence 
Will you advise me in regard to the 
law just passed in New York Stale in re¬ 
gard to granting a divorce after five years 
of separation? I married a young woman 
in Baltimore March 7, 19.17, njul after 
living together in this Ktate till April 2G 
of the same year, she went home and has 
not been heard from since, only through 
an attorney three years ago this last 
Spring, in regard to her support, which 
she conkl not get. Is it possible for me 
to get a divorce in this State from her 
under the circumstances? Would 1 have 
to make a search for her, and, if found, 
would that have anything to do with get¬ 
ting the divorce? r.e. s. 
New York. 
The following statute in relation to dis¬ 
solution of marriage on the grounds of ab¬ 
sence went into effect in the State of New 
York on March 27. 1922: 
“Dissolution of Marriage on Ground of 
Absence.—A party to a marriage may 
present to the supreme court a duly veri¬ 
fied petition showing that the husband 
or wife of such party has absented him¬ 
self or herself for five years then last 
past without being known to such party 
to be living during that time; that such 
party believes such husband or wife to 
he dead; and that a diligent search has 
been made to discover evidence showing 
that such husband or wife is living, and 
no such evidence has been found. The 
court shall thereupon by order require no¬ 
tice of the presentation and object of 
such petition to be published in the same 
manner as required for the publication of 
a summons in an action in the supreme 
court where service of such summons is 
made by publication: such notice shall he 
directed to the husband or wife who has 
so absented himself or herself and shall 
state the time and place of the hearing 
upon such petition, which time shall be 
not less than 20 days after the comple¬ 
tion of the publication of such notice, and 
if the court, after rhe filing of proof of 
the proper publication of said notice, and 
after a bearing and proof taken, is satis¬ 
fied of the truth of all the allegations 
contained in said petition, it may make 
an order dissolving such marriage.” 
It will be necessary for you 10 employ 
an attorney to prepare and present the 
petition called for by this spetion. and to 
see that your interests are properly cared 
for. IT. T.

Breach of Family Contract 
My grandmother gave my brother a 
deed of a house and lot, for which he 
agreed to pay all of her just debts and 
support and care for her and her son, 
and at her death to give her a Christian 
burial and place a suitable monument at 
her grave. He has never doue one of 
these things, but unbeknown to the son 
Ijur a mortgage on the property and 
finally let the property go on the mort¬ 
gage. lie gave a bond, which reads if he 
Well and truly performs these acts this 
instrument is in force; if not, it is null 
and void. What recourse in law has the 
son? The mother is dead; her son buried 
her, and paid all taxes on the property 
to the time of her death. He now re¬ 
fuses to support the son. Can he be held 
for fraud, or can any property, real or 
personal, be attached? I understand lie 
lias some valuable patents. w. A. L. 
New York. 
If your brother signed an agreement 
for your support, burial of the mother 
and erection of a monument, and has 
failed to comply with the terms thereof, 
an action may be brought against him. 
If he owns any property a judgment 
probably could be collected. It will be 
necessary for you to employ an attorney, 
and our advice would ho 10 do this im¬ 
mediately and to lay all the facts before 
him. N. T.

Inheritance from Wife 
The land around these parts is becom¬ 
ing more valuable on account of oil and 
gas, and it sets me to wouedring if I own 
an interest in rhe old old homestead. When 
ray parents died they left 217 acres of 
undivided property (a farm with a house 
and barn on it). There were live of us 
children and a deceased brother's boy 
and girl. One brother sold his share to 
another brother: the latter got in debt 
and lost both shaves. My sister and her 
husband bought the two brothers' shares 
in at a sheriff’s sale. I sold niy interest 
to an adjoining neighbor. She (my sis¬ 
ter) and her husband afterwards bought 
what was my share from the neighbor. 
Then the remaining two shares belong¬ 
ing to the deceased brother's son and 
daughter fgrown up now) and n brother 
in Now Mexico were sold for taxes. My 
sister and her husband bought those last 
two shares also, got a tax deed. You 
see. she owned her interest alone; she 
inherited it; then the rest of the property 
was a joint deed, made out to Mr, and 
Mrs. M. Parks. Two years ago my sis¬ 
ter died, leafing no children, except a 
son her husband had by a former mar¬ 
riage. and who was seven years of age 
when sister married his father. Now my 
brother-in-law has sold the place to a 
rich chemical man. and 1 do not believe 
he owned it wholly. There is SI.000 
worth of chemical wood on it. and lie let 
the mineral right go also. My sister left 
no will. My brother-in-law was ignorant 
of what the place was worth, and sold it 
for $700- Hid my brother-in-law inherit 
my sister’s property, or do her brothers 
and myself own a share? MRS. A. E. v. 
Pennsylvania. 
In case your sister died intestate, 
leaving a hush,and and no issue, the laws 
of the State of Pennsylvania provide that 
the surviving spouse shall be entitled to 
the real and personal estate or both to 
the aggregate value of $.”,000, and if the 
said estate shall exceed in value the sum 
of $.".000 the surviving spouse shall be 
entitled fe» the sum of $.7,000 absolute, to 
he chosen by him from real or personal 
estate, and in addition thereto shall be 
entitled to one-half part of the remaining
