should fence their road out on the
public range, then they would cut
off the range stock from water and
this would cause a new trouble. 1t
very often happens that one man
gets pay for an animal killed while
perhaps his next door neighbor is
refused pay. This is explained by
the reports Of the engineers who
kill the stock. Their own reports
sometimes show a slight careless
ness and in such cases the company
claims that they always pay for the
stock killed.
An important suit, involving
several thousand dollars, is now
pending in Blackfoot and it is un-
derstood, this case will go to the
supreme court, SO that the law of
liability in cases of stock killing
viii be finally settled.

STOCK KILLING CAS- ES IN
COURT,

There is a very general misun-
derstanding among the people OF
this state in regard to the law
against railroads for killing stock.
People generally have an idea that
the mere killing of an animal by
the railroad entities the owner to
pay for such animals. Consequent
ly the practice heretofore has been
for every body who had an animal
Of any kind killed to put in a big
bill to the company. The stock
killed was always Of the blooded
variety and exceedingly valuable.
Common range COWS, worth $12
a head, were always put in at $50
to $50 a head because they were
thoroughbred Jerseys or Imported
Herefords. Plug range stations,
worth about six dollars a head Were
put in at $500 because they were
all thoroughbred Clydesdales. The
railroad company was imposed on
so much that they determined to
test the law affecting their liabili
tY.
One of our citizens sued the
Short Line road for two cows
killed. He proved that the COM
pany killed his COWS bat he failed
to prove any negligence on the
part of the railroad company. The
company then put their engineer
on the witness stand and proved
that his train killed the COWS but
that the killing was simply IN
avoidable; that the cows jumped
on the track in front of his engine
and he could not possibly stop his
train in time to avoid striking the
animals. The court promptly de-
cided in favor of the railroad COM
pany and every lawyer in court
agreed that the Judge was right in !
his decision. The Judge then |
explained the law, and if all pso-
pie who have stock killed, will try |
and understand the law they may
save themselves trouble hereafter.
The rule of law is very simple. In
.he first place the railroad company
las right Of way two hundred feet
vide, over which to run their en-
yines and cars. They are required
)y law to SO run their trains as not
o purposely injure stock or any
hing else that gets on their track.
f any negligence can be shown on
he part of the railroad company !
hen they are liable for any damage
hey may do, but the mere accident
i killing without any fault on the
,art OF the railroad company does
lot make them liable.
1t is equally true that stock have
right to range over the public
.omain. Here are two parties with
quail rights; the stock owner to
he use OF the public range and the
abroad to run its trains over its
light Of way. Whenever a stock
wner can show any negligence on
be part of the railroad company
hen they can have the company {
able. 1t will been seen from this
nat people who allow valuable l
tock to run at large had better look
fter them. Their stock is often
illed at night when there are no
illnesses but the engineer who
Ills them ana then the owner
lust depend for proof entirely on
is statement, The law requires
le railroad company to fence ,
