Verdict Against the Western Union.

GRAND ISLAND, Dec. 7,-(Special.)-Con-
siderable interest has bsen manifested in
the case of Rev. Mr., Call pastor OF the
Congregational church, against the Western
Union Telegraph company for 81 ,995 damages
for mental anguish suffered by the plaintiff
by reason Of the dsfendent company's failure
to deliver a message announcing the death
of plaintiffs mother. In the past years many
complaints have been made of the local tele-
graph service, and gsneral public interest
was more or less aroused for this reason.
Another feature of the case was that no rule
seems SO far to have been laid down in the
superior court Of this state as to whsthsr
or not mental anguish is a ground for an
action for damages. The evidence showed
that though Rev. Mr.. Call had lived here
for some time, not much OF an effort had
been made by the company 10 find him
and deliver the message announcing the
death OF his mother. The jury returned
verdict giving the plaintiff $50 and costs.
There is considerable anxiety to have such
a case go to this higher court for ruling
which would be guide to all lower courts,

Il have decided to sell my horses, for
two reasons" said Mr.. Holt. AS |

greatly enjoy seeing the turf exploits
of well-deyeloped and thoroughly

And Gentry will be sold. too.
Il shall make the Alamance Farm
attractive in other ways, and shall
stock IL with Shetland ponies fine
