Michigan Supreme Court April 28, 1909, Docket No. 59 (Harris v. Boutwell)

Grant, J.

(after stating the facts). The land through which the Looking-Glass river runs is low with occasional elevations, on one of which the complainant’s farm buildings are situated. The Looking-Glass river drain is virtually a widening and deepening of the bed of the river, with an occasional cut for the purpose of straightening and increasing the rapidity of the flow. It is a natural stream.
