Mr.. JONES' $4,000 EAR.
How the Organ Was Lost and How II
Game co be Paid For.

Game 60 be Paid For.
[wlllimantic (Conn.) Special
A jury in the Superior Court for Wind
ham County, made up mostly of farmers,
has to-day fixed the value of a mans ear
by returning a verdict for the plaintiff in
the case OF Joaes VS.. Town of Scotland.
The history of the Sc, which has created
such unusual interest, Is as follows. Jones
is on oil man living at Wllimantic.
Eleven months ago yesterday he visited
the Storrs Agricultural School at Mans
field and then started to visit his son
Charles, who lives at Scotland. While
riding along : ear Scotland Green his
horse, going slowly with his nose close to
the Grcund. the wagon went into a deep
galley in the road and Jones was hurled
against a stone wall as though he had
been thrown from a cat1pult. As q
natural Consequence he struck head on,
and the face of the wall being
formed of sharp projectiles, he Jared
badly. When he recovered from the shock
he pu: his hand 10 biz head to feel for his
ear and it was gone, cut OF as smoothly
as IL it had come ia cJnta Ct with cleaver.
The night was dsnsslT dark, and Jones
experienced no little d ficulty in finding
his way 20 friends, where his wounds were
dressed. H. was also badly bruised about
the head AMI L was believed he would
suffer from conclusion of the brain and
eventual loss Ii. mental faculties. Soon
after he made M bis mind that he woull
make the town settle for that ear and he
would placs the vllG, upon it hinsslf.
II broasbt su 20 recover $1,000 dam
ages. and to-day he has reaped his re-
ward. The jury jury gave him a verdict
to recover $4,000 and his costs. These
latter will foot u prs.ty well. Public
opinion sustains tho verdict. althoush it
took the jury an hour aad half - deci-le
upon 1t, anil the town OF Sc6tland will
probably learn Lesson which will result
In its keeping the roads in decent condi-
tion in the future.
