$4,000 DAMAGES.
A Miner Sues the Mine Owners for
an Injured Back.

An interesting suit, involving the
sum of $4,000, in now in progress be-
fore Judge Zane on jury trial. On
August 18th, CT last year, James Trihay,
a miner in the EMPLOY of the Brooklyn
Lead mine, OF Bingham, was hurt by a
falling boulder, which pinned him to
the earth, and which could only be re
moved by the strength of two men.
He sued the company for damages for
tie amount above stated on the ground
that hr was ordered to go to work in a
dangerous place, and that he was made
to act as timberman, when he knew
nothing about anything in the mine ex-
cept mining. Drs. Fowler and Benedict
were yesterday on the witness stand in
the plaintiff 5 behalf, and both testified
that his back was so injured that he
could not bend oyer. The man was
stripped to the waist, and large swell
ing was found to exist upon his back
bone. The company claim that the &C
cident was due to the negligence of an
employee, and that they should not,
therefore, be held liable. Dickson &
Varian represent the plaintiff, and Ben
nett, Hardness & Kirkpatrick appear
for the defendants.
