The following rescript has bsen received
By 4. c. Otis, Clerk Of the MIDDLE district. |
SPAuLDrHo vs.. IxHADIrAxfs OF WIxsLow.
The plaintiff was travelling with his horse
and wagon upon q road in the defendant
town, when the horse took fright At a hole in
. culvert upon the road, and by the action of
the horse, the wagon WAS carried into the
adjoining ditch, and the plaintiff was thereby
injured. By 4 statutory provision, the de-
fective culvert imposed no liability upon the
town, not having been in existence for
twenty-fuur hours before the accident happen
ed. The defect complained of in the writ is
the want Of railing between the
travelled way and the ditch Held ~ that if
the fright OF the horse at the hole was the
proximate cause of the accident, or one Of
the proximate causes producing it, the plain
tiff cannot recover; but that If remote
cause only. and another defect in the road
was the only proximate cause Of the acci-
dent, he can recover. Held (2) that if the
horse become unmanageable, substantially
freeing himself from the control of the driver.
and the upset ensued from such unmanage-
ableness, the defective culvert, or the horses
fright at the culvert must be considered to
have teen pruxima'e cause OF the accid' Mt
or one of the proximate causes producing It.
Held (3) that if the horse merely started
or SHE'D, steering few feet from the line OF
travel. and through only a mOmentary loss Of
control by the driver, threw the
wagon into the ditch, the horse
would not be considered unmanage-
able, and, in such case, the defective culvert
or the horses conduct on account Of 1t,
would be only a remote and not proximate
cause of the accident Held a. that upon
the question whether the road was or NOT
defective for want of railing at the time OF
| the accident, the hole in the road should no
| be taken into consideration any more than
| it had never existed. it being temporar,
want of repair for which the town was no
responsible. Motion sustained. New tria

One Hundred and rue,fth Illinois Reunion.

The eighteenth annual Reunion of the sur
viying members of tho One Hundred and
Twelfth regiment, Illinois volunteers, and
other soldiers of the late war of the rebellion,
was held on the fair grounds, at ToulOn, ILL.,,
Thursday and Friday, August is and II Tents
We're erected on the ground, and it looked
considerably like camp in Dixie The camp
was named Camp A. A. Lee" in memory of
Capt. A. A. Lee, of company A, of the One Hun
dred and Twelfth, who was killed In battle at
Knoxville, Tenn, November Is, 1868. The
soldiers of Toulon and vicinity assembled in
the Court House Square at 10 o'clock on the
morning of the 18th. An artillery salute well
coined those who came in from the East on the
1902 train. A procession was then formed,
headed by the Toulon band, and the regimental
coiors of the One Hundred and Twelfth, under
command of Capt. j. NJ. Brown, and marched
to the depot TO receive those from Henry
county and the West, who arrived on the 1888
train. An artillery salute was also fired upon
the arrival of this train. From the depot the
procession marched to camp, where the boys
broke ranks TO shake hands and get dinner.
The soldiers and others in attendance assem-
bled in the amphitheatre at 1:30 p. M, when
the meeting was called to order by Gen. /. j.
Henderson, president of the Association of Sur
yiving Members of the One Hundred and
Twelfth. In the absence of Parson Bowen,
Rev. d. G.. Stouffer, of the One Hundred and
lWeuIy-IOurLn IeIISyIVauIst, Was CalIeu upOLs
and invoked the aid of Deity in a well-chosen
| prayer. The glee club sang "The Vacant
Chair" after which z. T. Brown, of company
F, of the One Hundred and Twelfth, delivered
an address of welcome, which was greeted with
satisfaction and applause by his old comrades.
General Henderson responded to the address
of welcome in his usual eloquent and interest
| ing manner. Speeches were then made by
Captain Mccartney and others. A Campfire
