Novel Damage suit.

A most unusual damage suit was tried
in the circuit court at Walden last week,
the jury failing to agree, resulting in
mistrial. On April 8. 1898, ID. w. Bacon
and his brother, j. A. Bacon, and the
latter's son, Willie, got into an alterca-
ton with young German named Sui
BREEDER After fisticuff fight re-
volvers were resorted to, resulting in
the death of Sulbrieder and the wound
ing of Willie Bacon. April II Mrs.
| Sulbrieder filed suit for herself and
three little boys, demanding of the Ba.
cons $50, 600 damages for the loss of the
| husband and father. In few days
| indicted for murder and Willie for
manslaughter. At the January special
| term these indictments were quashed
| because of alleged improper conduct
| by an outsider who voluntarily APP
peared before the grand jury and in
sisted upon indictment.
The civil suit of Mrs. Sulbrieder came
on for trial last week, but the jury
| failed to agree, and was discharged.
The counsel for the defendants took
the ground that the common law did
not countenance such action and that
the statute on the subject was intended
for accidental killings as by railroad
negligence and did not cover felonious
homicides. Judge Stevens ruled that
! the statute was broad enough, but ad-
mitted that there was grave doubt
about it. The hung jury disappointed
both sides, who seemed anxious to have
the supreme court rule on the question
as to whether the statute covered the
case
