tween A. @. Hough, as administrator Of

the Grants Pass New Water, Light &
Power Co., verdict was brought in by
the jury on Saturday Of $4,000 for the
plaintiff
The facts Of the case are familiar with |
most OF our readers. On October 2, last
year, Enoch Moon was repairing electric !
light wires on Fifth street in the rear Of |
the old Palace hotel site, when the
electric current was turned on at the
power house, Moon receiving the full |
force OF the shock, killing him instantly
and knocking him from the pole on
which he was working.
The evidence was brought to show
that the company, through its manager
q. |. Brown was negligent in not using a
more safe method Of communication to |
The power house. II will be remembered |
that Mr.. Brown sent man down TO |
notify the engineer not to turn on the
power but the messenger was obliged to
make apurchase on .he way and arrived
1t the power house after the current had
been turned on.
The company was represented by its
attorney X. L. Moody, OF Portland, and
A. S. Hammond, Of Mediord Plaintiff
@. Hough, was assIs'ed by II. d.
Norton.
The court granted 60 days Ia which
% file a motion for new trial.
