VERDICTS BY CHANCE.
The Supreme Court Declares They
Are Not Valid.
y Judgment Set Aside That Was Ar
rived at by ''Striklng an
Average

The supreme Court yesterday rendered
decision which is not only of interest to
the parties directly interested, but also to
people who deal in chance in any way,
as the word chance is judicially de-
termined.
The particular case in the consideration
OF which the great high court conde
scended to interpret the word chance for
the benefit of humanity, is entitled Kate
L. Dixon VS.. William j. +. Pluns.
While walking along a sidewalk on
Larkin street, San Francisco, one day the
plaintiff passed by building in course of
erection, and a thoughtless carpenter
dropped chisel on her head and, accord
ing to her complaint, quite seriously
injured her. In fact, the lady was so
seriously injured that she felt compelled
to sue Mr.. Pluns for damages.
The woman was successful in the lower
court and obtained damages against
Pluns. The latter took an appeal, and
The case was heard in department of the
supreme Court, and the Judgment and
order of the lower court was reversed
upon the ground that the verdict of the
jury had been arrived at by chance.
The appellant moved for new trial on
the ground OF the misconduct of the Jury
IN this, that upon retiring to the jury
room the twelve jurors first agreed bv a
vote that the average sense of the Jurors
should control in arriving at what the
verdict should be, and that then the
twelve jurors agreed to be controlled by
their vote. a ballot was taken, divided
by twelve, and the result was declared
aud agreed to be the average sense OF the
jury.
An affidavit setting forth these facts
was made by one of the jurors named
Roster
The respondent did not think that the
verdict was chance one, but the Su-
preme Judges think that this view Of the
matter was erroneous, and that the estab-
AshmenL of q contrary rule in this coun-
Try, especially where the rights OF prop
erty, reputation and life are all taken
into the Jury-room and there passed
upon by jurors, will result in purer
and more satisfactory administration of
justice. The jury might agree on that
way OF arriving at a verdict, but they
should not be bound by the result, what
ever it might be.
Chance" according to the Supreme
Court, may be defined to be hazard. risk
or the result or issue of uncertain and
unknown conditions or forces, and the
lactS developed in the case of Dixon VS..
PIuns convinced the court that the Jurors
mad left the verdict to chance and there
lore granted a new trial.

SPRAINBD HIS ANKLE.

X. p Burr Meets With a Painful Acci-
dent While Gathering Ferns.
The many friends of Il. p. Burr will re-
gret to know that he is laid up with a
very badly-sprained ankle, and suffers
much from it. 1t seems that he went out
to the country near Folsom with his wife
and some other ladies, and finding some
beautiful ferns growing on the almost
perpendicular side of a glen, which were
Eery much admired by the ladies, he
tried to get them. Finding himself about
to tall, on account of his insecure footing,
he attempted to jump, as the only means
of saving himself from fall. On alight-
ing, however, his foot turned under him,
the whole ankle joint slipping out.
The party had to drive around long
way i'll order to get to where he lay,
and his pain was so severe that he was
scarcely able to bear the journey home.
The dislocation was soon reduced by a
surgeon, but it will be several days be-
fore he will again be able to use that foot.

OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
iand OF fair average quality, ana is offered at
nom SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12O, 16O and 320 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of fl We equal ar
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
clpal is TO be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
| lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers a result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up Of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
| tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry
