CAUSED BY A RUNAWAY.
The suit of Thomas G. Barnard against
W. II. and E. w. Ensign to
recover $4,000 damages grows out
of a terrible runaway, which
occurred Sept. %, when a double team
came tearing down Washington avenue at
furious rate. At the corner of Hennepin
avenue the frantic horses jumped squarely
on top OF carriage containing Mr.. Barnard
and three ladies. Mr., Barnard had his right
leg broken at thigh. and received internal
injuries. the ladies miraculouSly escaped
serious harm. The action for damage is
based upon the claim that the Ensign Bros.
hired to Edwin Rabillard team of spirited
horses hitched to a buggy, the whitf1etrees
of which were not properly made in that
the iron heads for the tugs laid horizontally
and allowed the tugs to slip off, which
started the horses to running.
The libel suit of Willis Creore against
the Tribune was tried before Judge Young
yesterday morning. The jury was not over
five minutes in deciding upon verdict
awarding one cent damages for the plain
tiff, thus giving the newspaper a practical
victory. The suit grew out of an error in
the publication of an item concerning the
arrest of book agent for ENLIGHTENMENT at
the instance of the plaintiff. The reporter,
by blunder, mentioned Mr.. CreOre as be-
ing the person arrested. The paper upon
discovering the mistake published a correc-
ton in several subsequent issues in order to
prevent any injurious consequences to the
victim of reportorial inaccuracy.
