4aM~payers Criticism on Judge
REebt. Answered.


Answering taxpayers inquiry of |
last week, for information, will say, |
in Bierman VS.. Mo. P. Ry. Co, the
Railway Company submitted under !
Section 286 Chapter so, Laws of 1885, !
which read as follows, tin all cases
the jury shall render a general YER
dict, and on request of either party, /
in addition thereto, the court shall
direct the jury, to find upon partic-
tlcular questions of fact."l Twenty
nine special questions Of fact which
were all answered favorably TO the
BY. Co.
Q. 1, Answering where the COW
was killed, states at a point known as
SchOohOuse crossing, On q public
crossing. Now 1t is q we'll established
principal of Law, that BY. Co. will
not be responsible for stock killed by
it's trains, at a place where It's track
cannot be fenced unless the Ry, Co.
is guilty of gross negligence, Now
as to this, let us look at further ans
wers, Q 10. How far was the engine
from the public crossing, when the
engineer first saw the COW? Answer;
From thirty to forty feet. Q. 20.
How far was the COW from the road,
when first seen by engineer? Ans.
ten to twelve feet. Other answers
show that she was walking towards
the By. track @. II. After the en-
glneer saw COW was anything neglect
ed that the engineer could have done
to prevented accident? Ans. No.
No train such as this, a freight train
| of IL cars, can be stopped within BOO
/ feet; and had the engineer seen the
! COW when the engine was at the short
est distance he could not have possibly
/ stopped his train, from the crossing, lie
! 300 feet, the COW, which was also NOV
| ing toward the crossing, and walked
! 10 or II feet while the train was going
! 80 to 40, must have been from so to loo
! feet from the track, and had the engl-
neer seen a COW say so feet from the
| track, he would not have been justI-
fed in stopping his train, conse-
auently, there was not the least neg
/ ligence, on the part Of the engineer,
to say nothing of gross negligence,
and the duty Of the court was plain,
under Section, 287. Chapter, so,
Laws of 1885, which reads as fol
lows, When the special findings OF
taGF axe 44gQuS4sb9aO Will Cu6 S6A01 a

to have done, provided that he had thought best
to set aside the general verdict at all, would have
been to set the whole thing aside and ordered
new trial The attorneys say that the court
claimed that he was afraid that he would pc
reversed in the Supreme Court II he did not render
the judgment as he did. But the attorneys told
me that the court certainly knew better than that
for they say that the law is such that case can
not be appealed to the Supreme Court when the
amount involved is less than $4,000 exclusive of
costs, and in this case it was only 5000.
It is certain that the Railroad killed Mr.. Bier
mans COW and it seems to me 30 be an outrage
that he should not only lose the COW, but in ad-
ditiOn to that have the court render judgment
against him for nearly $500. 90 costs, besides,
! simply through some little subterfuge in the way
OF q QuiFk in the law. Right is right, and Judge
LOnis X Pratt could have stood between this poor
man and the powerful corporation had he chosen
to do so, at least good lawyers as there are in the
county say so and we have no reason to doubt
them
It remains 10 be seen whether or not the farm
eEg of this cOunty win support that kind OF mar
20 pass upon their rights in the future. for one
do not believe they will.

More About L. K. Pratt's Action

but honest German, and against the No. Pacific

COW owned by b[r. Bierman and which was killed

a law which allows special question Of fact, or
something Of that kind to be submitted TO the

lions the jury got somewhat mixed, and answer
ed the questions in such manner that it conflict
