SOME NEW Law POINTS.
To What Extent a Gas Company is Re-
sponsible for Fire Loss.

People In cities or towns using nat
ural gas now have the opportunity of
knowing what causes there are for
bringing certain suits against gas
companies. The supreme court at its
last session rendered decision in a
case in which the owner of a house
which had burned had brought action
against the gas company on the claim
that increased pressure had caused the
fire. The case was remanded for an
other trial, and some new law inter
preted as follows:
A person or corporation engaged in
furnishing natural gas to stoves. heat
ers, pipes, etc, for purposes Of dones-
tic light, heat and fuel in a dwelling
house, is bound to exercise such care,
skill and diligence in all its operations
as is called for by the delicacy, difficult
ty and dangerousness of the nature OF
the business that injury to others
may not be caused thereby; that is to
say, if the delicacy, difficulty and dan
ger is extraordinarily great, extraor-
binary skill and diligence is required.
If the defendant, SO furnishing such
gas, negligently and carelessly suffer
or permit a greater amount of pres
sure of said gas to be furnished than
is reasonably proper for said purpose,
by reason whereof the house and
building being SO furnished is consum-
ed or injured by fire resulting from
such negligence, the defendant is liza
hta In ia afrac FOR c,1ob laas
If such defendant suffer and permit
its regulators or other appliances to
be and remain for an unreasonable
time in such condition that they do
not control the amount and pressure OF
gas furnished, so that more than a
safe and proper amount OF gas is so
furnished. the defendant is guilty Of
negligence and liable in damages for
injuries proximately caused by such
negligence.
II such injuries Is the natural con-
sequence of such negligence and such
as might have been foreseen and rea-
sonably anticipated as the result of
such negligence, then such negligence
must be regarded as the proximate or
direct cause of the injury in the alb
sence of intervening negligence.
The mere fact of a building so fur
nished with gas was set on fire from
the gas is not sufficient to justi-
fy the inference that an increased
pressure of gas caused the fire.
In the trial of an action against a
corporation SO furnishing natural gas
to dwelling house, for damages for
causing the destruction OF such house
by fire by negligently permitting too
great pressure of gas, it is not COM
petent to prove by a witness the bare
fact of what pressure the guage of an
other gas company usually indicated.

wanting to come home as Col. C. L.
Smith and but few of them will be
welcomed as he will be when he gets
back to the state again. He made a
very great sacrifice when he left his
business and went into the service
and The state should be deeply
grateful to him for it. He will take
his old place ut the helm of the Index

AND GAS FITTING

All who contemplate having plumb
ing or gas fitting done should consider
that little saving in first cost is not
always economy. We buy our goods
at first hands, strictly for cash. We
have expert plumbers and will guar
antee all work, at prices as low as
consistent with frst-class material
and workmanship, We will be here
to protect our work as long as gas
lasts and people use water.
This is a point worth considering.
Remember everything first class and
work guaranteed to be according to
the most approved sanitary regula-
tions.
