BREwIN oETs A saa5 VERDICT.
Owners Responsible for Damage Dom
by Unhitched Horses.

Dy Unhltched Horses.
The sealed verdict in the case o. VIM.
Brewin against Capt. W. .. Dixon for
damages for personal injuries was opened
yesterday morning in the city court and
1925 was awarded the PLAINTIFF against the
defendant.
An account Of the case was given In the
yesterdays Morning News. Capt Dixon
left his horse standing In Liberty Street
lane back of his residence between Lin
coin and Habersham streets and the
horse took fright at some small boys who
engaged in fight with rocks near him
and ran away. lie ran into Habersham
street and from there. to Liberty, where
he collided with Brewin who was on his
bicycle with the result that Brewin re-
ceived some rather severe injuries.
1t was learned yesterday that the fury
considered the question from every stand
point, and while one Of them was In favor
OF giving no damages whatever, the rest
concluded that whenever a man leaves
his horse united and the animal is fright
ened and runs away from any cause
whatever thereby injuring another person
or his property the owner Of the horse is
responsible for the damages even though
there was no intention whatever of dam
aging anyone else as was the case In this
that Capt Dixon was Intentionally care
less In leaving his horse unhitched or that
he would have allowed him to harm any
one else If he had II in his power to pre-
vent 1t. But It was considered that he
failed to exercise that degree OF ordinary
diligence which the law requires in such
cases, and that he was responsible for the
actual damages sustained, which is about
all that were awarded. The plaintiff sued
for 5000 and recovered only 1925, which
about covers the actual damages sus-
tanned together with attorneys fees.
The action Of the jury viii likely be a
warning to others not to leave their horses
unhitched, no matter how docile or gentle
they may be as there is no telling at what
sort OF an object they may become fright
ened and run away. 1t is understood
that Capt. Dixon will not carry the case
to the supreme court. He was repre-
sented by Col. @. A. Mercer and the plain
tiff appeared by Mr.. =. J. O'Connor.

TO go ahead and repair the sidewalk
with the city hands. The marshal gives
instruction accordingly To the superin-
tendent Of the street and lane force. The
superintendent may have his bricklayers
engaged elsewhere, and IL may be several
days before he is able TO attend TO this
particular work. This is why broken
sidewalks frequently remain for such a
length OF time unattended to. The city
marshal thinks II the ordnance were
amended so that the matter might be
reported TO the next meeting Of council
after the property holder had been no.
