Lewiston, Idaho dispatch: special

This payment will be made without
the red tape which made the noted
distribution of $626, 000so slow in proce-
dure. AS soon as the rolls are amend
ed to correspond with the births and
deaths that have occurred since the
treaty was signed checks will be drawn

In the evidence before the court, the

evidence was in, that a nOnsuit be en-
tered on the ground that there was no
responsibility attached TO the road, the
action Of the switch.engins crew was
not wanton or willful, and that the
plaintiff was q tresspasser. The jury
was requested to retire and the motion
was argued. Judge Seaman said he
wouldgrs the motion and order q nom
suit.
After q hot wrsDgle between the at
torneys, Judge Seaman delivered his
charge to the defendant. He had, he said,
nothing but sympathy for the woman,
but under the CirCumsta noes there was
nothing for the jury TO do but to render
q verdict for the jury. "This," he con-
tinusd, "must be your verdict. So say
you allH" addressing the jury. Not q
man Of the twelve moved NOR made
motion Of assent. On the faces OF thA
jurors was seen a dogged determination.
Juror Clayton arose and in a CULVER
ing voice said to the court: "Judge,
those are not my sentiments. cannot
Bgree TO render such a verdict" Two
other jurors followed ClaytOn's example.
Judge Seaman's face flushed q deep
crimson. And then, one after another,
made q similar statement.
Judge Seaman explained to the jury
that they were not judges OF law and
that the responsibility for the verdict
was on him alone. Finally all the jurors
except Clayton agreed to render the
verdict ordered by the court. The mat
ter was argued at length by the Judge
and juror, each maintaining his position
in vigorous, but manly and dignihsd
manner. The case was finally dismissed
on the stipulation that the order Of dis
misssl should be equivalent to the rem
dsring Of a verdict by the jury, upon Or
der Of the court, and under the protest
OF the jury. The jury was anxious to
render q verdict of s24 900 for the woman.
