County Court.

County Court.
The case OF Joseph Boucher vs. E. & T.
Fairbanks & Co. which was begun last
week Monday afternoon, has occupied
the time OF the court since then and prom
ises to extend through the greater part
OF this week.
The plan announced last week to take
recess ot court over Christmas and New
Years was given up on account of this
case. The jurymen on the present panel
were excused last Thursday until Tues
day January 8.
The Boucher case is one of the hardest
fought cases that have been tried here for
several years. The principal question at
issue is as to how the plaintiff received
the injury complained of.
The plaintiffs evidence is to the effect
tina, he was employed in thescale factory
foundry wheeling iron to an elevator
and taking it up on the elevator to the
scaffod to be melted for casting That
while on the way up, The elevator sud-
denly stopped. throwing him down and
in such position t at as it suddenly
started again he was caught between
the elevator platform and beam on the
side of the elevator pit. This side OF the
pit was not boarded up on the inside.
This claim is based substantially on the
plaintiff $ own testimony.
The medical testimony on this side of
the case is to the effect that the injuries
received by the plaintiff have prevented
his working since he was hurt, and that
his ultimate recovery is doubtful.
The ground taken by the defendant
company and as substantiated by the
evidence introduced in the de'ence is, that
telow-workman, Richard Nichols,
dropped kniIc under the elevator and
while ascending, Boucher looked over
the edge OF the platform to see il he could
locate the kuie and forgot about the
projecting beam above until his head and
arm came in contact with it; that, had
the plaintiff been attending SIMPLY to his
work. the accident never would have oc
Cured. Considerable evidence has beer
introduced tending to show that thi,
was substantially the story told by
Boucher himself until some time after tn,
accident. The knlte story is also testified
to by Richard Nichols.
