Dr. Walker had arrived at the mine a few minutes before and he set the ribs. As soon as Meadows pain had been somewhat alleviated the camp convened to discuss the moral side of the accident. One party said it was a providential occurrence that a physician happened to be on the ground at that particular time. An other party held to the doctrine that it would have been a more merc1ful dispensation of providence if the horse had missed Meadows. Meadows also took this view of it.
 It is the opinion of most lawyers that those who bid at the delinquent tax sale on extremely small fractions of property, buyers of say one inch or parts of an inch, would get knocked out in court if their claims should be contested.
