There were plenty of others to take his place. Gunaux brought suit for $30,000, but the company has defended many such sults, and when the jury in Judge ® court, after listen- ing to the evidence, and after see- ing the crippled, battered-up miner, returned @ verdict for $18,000 this morning, the corporation's attom neys were somewhat surprised, Gunaux ts 29 years old and un- married. He can walk a little with the use of crutches but his legs are both paralyzed, and will never re- cover their strength.
