tree. He remained in the tree until

receded and he came down on the

his rescue could not be effected until
Tuesday evening, when he was gotten

to a goodlyinumber Of the male citi-

show that it has cost Garrett county
only $500 year, on the average, to

case In December, 1895, Baker sued
the Maryland Coal Company for in
juries received by being squeezed be

Bakers claim for damages was based
on the allegation that the Company
had not left brake room sufficient be-
tween the cars and the heading for
men in charge of the train to put down
brakes with safety. At the first trial
in January, 1896 Baker lost his case,
Judge Stake taking it from the jury.
