The Court finds that the Respondent was under no duty to patrol, guard or fence in natural water courses. See, Zorn v. Bellrose (1959), 22 Illinois App. 2d 331, 160 N.E.2d 685; Mindeman v. Sanitary District of Chicago (1925), 317 Ill. 529,148 N.E. 304; Adams v. Brookwood Country Club (1958), 16 Ill. App. 2d 363, 148 N.E.2d 39. There are no material facts in dispute and therefore Respondent is entitled to judgment.\nIt is hereby ordered that the Respondent\u2019s motion for summary judgment be and is hereby granted.",
