Decision
Reversed.
In the Case of ofPeterson Against The West
ern Union Telegraph Go. The
Company Finally Wins.
Judge Mitchell Renders the Decision and
Discusses the Matter Of Dam
ages.

After three district court victories for
MIR. Peterson in his case against the
Western Union Telegraph Company, the
company, which had thousands to pay
for defense but not cent for damages,
finally wins.
The decision was rendered on Thurs
day by the state supreme court, Judge
Mitchell writing the opinion.
In it the question of punitive and ex-
emplary damages is discussed and the
opinion of the lower court held to be
erroneous. Judge Mitchell says:
"a written message, alleged to be IL
belous was delivered to defendants op-
orator at New Ulm and by him trans
mitted by sound over the wires to the
operator at St. Paul, to- be by him re-
duced to writing and delivered to the
plaintiff. Held that this constituted a
publication of the libel.
''Mere negligence, unless SO gross as
to amount to positive bad faith, is not a
ground for awarding punitive damages.
Hence an instruction to the effect that the
jury might award exemplary damages if
they found that the defendant was neg
ligent i'll employ oying the operator who
transmitted the message, or in failing to
adopt proper rules to prev ent the Trans
mission of libelous messages is errone-
GUS"
In discussing this point, the court
hollis as follows:
"There was no evidence that the New
llm operator was not com petent and
generally faithful in the discharge of
his duties or that he was guilty of any
breach of duty unless in the transmission
of this message, and there is no evidence
that the defendant had any reason, prior
to its transmission, to anticipate that he
would transmit an improper message.
Neither is there any evidence that the de-
fendant ratified or approved of his
wrongful act, if it was such, IN trans
mitting this message unless it is the bare

fact that it subsequently retained him

fact that it subsequently retained him
in its service. .-5..s ~ x, a. -. =
"Upon this state of the evidence the
court, after instructing the jury that if
they found that the defendant or its
agent was actuated by malice in fact and
that it ought to be punished, further in
structed them in that connection as fol-
lows:
"'Perhaps the only fault that can be
charged against the defendant IN the
premises is that it had and retained an
operator that would receive and transmit
such improper messages, or that it did
not have rule prohibiting the sending
of unsigned messages, hbelous upon
their face, and if the jury should be of
that opinion they should make the
amount of exemplary damages, if any,
reasonably proportionate to the degree
of the defendants fault.
"We are Of the opinion that the part
of the charge especially excepted to con-
tains material error. 1t may be that it
is erroneous in assuming or implying
that the defendant was at fault or negli-
gent in each and all of the matters men,
toned. But that is not it's chief, vice.
The fatal error in this part of the charge
lies in the fact that in effect and sub
stance it amounts to an instruction that
the mere negligence of the defendant in
the respects mentioned would justify the
jury in ava riding punitive damages.
''The defendants liability, If any, rests
upon the doctrine of respondent super
ior. If the act of the servant in trans
mitting the message was wrongful the
defendant was liable whether it was neg
ligent or not; and on the other hand if
the act was lawful the defendant is not
liable, however negligent it may have
been.
"Hence the question of defendants
negligence in the employment of its op-
orator or in the failure to adopt proper
rules was foreign to the issues IN this
case. Moreover mere negligence, unless
so gross as to am cunt to positive bad
faith, is no ground for awarding punitive
damages.
"Counsel took two entirely distinct
exceptions: First, to the submission OF
the question Of exemplary damages to
the jury at all and second, to that part
of the charge which stated the grounds
upon which the jury might award snch
damages. The second exception was
sufficiently explicit. Counsel called the
