Awarded $3,750 Damages. In the Clinton circuit court last week Miss Minnie McFarland of this city was granted a judgment of $3,- 750 against the Mo. Pacific railroad for damages received in a wreck on the road last summer near Nevada. The case was tried in a previous term of court at Clinton, and the jury gave her $2,000, which verdict was set aside by Judge Lay as ex |cessive. Hence the case came up | | | above resuit. The plaintiff was rep- resented by Thos. J. Smith, P. H. Holcomb and Judge DeArmond. | The case of course will be appealed \to the supreme court by the railroad company, but it is the opinion of sowe of the best lawyers of Butler that the case will not be reversed, | from the fact that there has been two trials by jury, both of which re- sulted adversely to the railroad, and from the ther fact that the case was presented in a much better light m the last trial. The main | difficulty in the way is that the eu- preme court is behind with its busi- ness about two years, which will | necessitate a long delay before the | final result is known. for trial again last week with the | cemetery. Walter was a painter by trade and his death was due to acci- dentally falling from a high seaffuld while at work on a building in Chi- cago Saturday a week ago. Besides receiving internal injuries in the fall he had both ankles and hip broken. He lived until Tuesday following, but never gained consciousness. The deceased was raised in this city and was well known by almost every- body. For the past four or five years he has been working at bis trade in Kansas City and went to Chicago only a few months ago. In his younger days Walter was quite a wild boy, but since he had mai- ried and started out for hiuself in the world he had sobered down and became a useful man. He leaves a wife and one child. who with his father and other relatives have the| sympathies of the entire community The Grand Combination sale aud colt show of Concklin & Warnock, | |held at Passaic Tuesday of last week was well attended The stock to be} | soldwas on the ground as advertis | ‘ed and these gentlemen lived up to} their represextations in every respect | | For some reason the sale was slow, ‘the buyers shy. and bidding was) not very spirited. The colt show was a grand success, some as fine colts being on exhibition as can be found in the county. The first prize, for Mambrino Chief jr.'s colts was taken by Jim Strain, and Wesley Badgett captured second. Messrs Cocklin and Warnock deserve great | eredit for their efforts to establish a ‘stock sale and though this first ef-' fort is not all that could be desired we trust they will not be discourag- ed but will meet with better success ‘next time | | i i iMeu’s If not, you are doing yourself an injustice.
