Made n Test Iase.

The twenty-seven cases against Douglas
county wherein the plaintiffs seek to get
out Of paying for the lots which they pur-
chased In Douglas addition some FIVE years
ago, are off the court dockets for some time
to come, at least.
When this addition was put on the market
for the purpose Of raising funds with which
to erect the present county hospital, there
was a horde Of bidders, and most OF the lots
brought good prices. Payments we're upon
the installment plan. a certain amount be-
ing paid in cash and the balance yearly pay
ments. There was a slump in the realty
market soon after that. and some of the pur-
chasers commenced to find a loophole
through which they might crawl.
In the course OF time and after having
made some OF the nnual payments the pur-
chasers. or at least some of them, discov-
cred that, prior to the sale, the commits
sioners had Incorporated in the election no.
tice a provision for the sale Of the Douglas
addition lots. This was at a general cleo
ton and a year or two after holding the
same some of the purchasers alleged that
less than a majority of the votes cast were
Tor the ratification of the sale. With this
discovery Charles b. Keller and a few
others commenced suit to have the sale set
aside. When this action became public
other purchasers followed suit and actions
were brought by the wholesale. At the
trial In the district court Keller won and an
appeal was at once taken, where a decision
Is now pending.
Yesterday County Attorney Haley stipu-
lated with all of the other plaintiffs,
by which it has been agreed
that the decision in the Keller
case shall govern all of the suits which
have been brought, and that that decision
shall be final.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Haley
stated that he had but little fear of the final
outcome, but that it would be fully a year
before the case could be reached for hear
ing.

Verdict Against Gamblers.

In the county court the case of Martin
Slattery against the proprietors of the Dia-
mond saloon attracted considerable at
tention. S~lattery is one of those individuals
who toyed with the tiger and was bitten.
On the witness stand he has testified that he
was a constant visitor to the gambling
rooms during the months and days that in
%tervened between October, 1890, and August,
1898, spending the most of his time there
when he was not on the streets Gaping for
one of the cheap clothing houses.
During the time referred to he alleges that
he fattened the tiger to the extent of 1910,
but never thought Of squealing until his
money was all gone, as prior to that time
he labored under the opinion that his luck
would take a turn and that he would win
out more than enough to make up for his
losses.
After hearing all of the testimony the
court reached the conclusion that Martin
might have been whipsawed on the turn and
rendered judgment in his favor for 1895 and
interest,

FIRENIAN'S RISKS.
Judge Ambrose Throws the Downs-Kitchen
Case Out of Court.

Judgo Ambrose Throws the Downs-Kitchen
Case Out of Court.
The case Of Thomas Downs against James
-. Kitchen. which has been attracting con-
siderable attention during the past two
years, went out Of court in a hurry YES
terday, With an order that the plaintiff
should be compelled to pay all of the costs.
some two years ago there was a fire in
the annex of the Paxton hotel. The fire de-
partinent was called, and several of the
companies responded to the call. During
the progress Of the flames the west wall of
the annex fell. burying beneath the debris
several of the iremen, who at the time
We're standing upon a ladder which was
leaning against the wall. By reason of the
falling of the wall Captain Carter was killed
and Ftremen Mulvihill and Downs severely
injured. Suits were at once brought in the
district court, the parties and relatives al
leglng the bad construction of the portion of
the building which fell. The heirs of Cap
tain Carter sued for S., 900, and secured a
Judgment for the full amount, but the case
was appealed to the supreme court, where
IL still remains, undecided.
Thomas Downs sued for $40. 900 and on
the first trial secured a verdict for 81, 500.
A motion for a new trial was made, thu
allegation being that the amount of the YER
dict was excessive. This motion was
granted and at the next trial the jury
f5a4Sd to reach a verdict, although the
twelve men were kept out some seventy
two hours.
Mulvihill sued for So, 900, and after a
lengthy and tedious trial, the Jury returned
Il verdict for the defendant.
During the early days of the term tho
third trial of the Downs case was slated and
the work OF securing a jury was commenced
last Monday and concluded Friday, when
the introduction of testimony was begun,
with a prospect that there was a long legal
battle in sight.
Friday night the attorneys for the defendant
filed a motion for a non-suit. which was ar
gued for several hours. To all of the argu-
ments Judge Ambrose listened and then
granted the motion, which all OF the
attorneys declare raises a question which
has never been passed upon by the supreme
court OF this state. In moving for the non
suit the attorneys for the defendant main
tained that the owner of a building owed no
duty by which he was compelled to protect
the nVes or iremen, providing that a fire
broke out in that particular building. In
engaging as iremen the members of the
department knew OF the hazardous occupa-
ton and It was not incumbent upon owners
OF buildings to keep the same in a safe con-
dltlon during the progress of a fire.
In granting the motion to nonsuit Judge
Ambr Sc cited several cases from other
states that we're on all fours with the case
which was at bar, One case In particular
was from Indiana, whore the Judge who
handed down the opinion took occasion 10
remark that in engaging as n fireman the
applicant took his life in his hands and
that 1t was his duty to respond to the call
TO attend a fire, no matter what the con-
dltion OK the burning building might be.
