COMMON SENSE VS.. THE LAM
JUDGE REID ADOPTS ORMER TO
EXCLUSION OF LATTER.
Damage Suit for Death of Thomas
w. Brabon Is on Trial In the SUI
perior Court-Wfdow Sues for
s25,OO0-Court's view OF the Case.

AFTER several attempts to compromise
with the city. each Of which overtures
were rejected-by the municipal body on
the ground that the demand was excess
sive, the widow of Thomas w. Brabon.
a deceased fireman, yesterday began the
trial of her $500 damage suit against
the city for the death of her husband.
During the course of the trial the ques-
ton was raised by the attorneys for the
defendant as to the liability of a NUM-
cipality for accidents which occur upon
ungraded streets, claiming that persons
who ventured thereon did so at their own
peril. Judge Reid refused to coincide
with the defendants contention in the
premises, and in doing so discarded the
technical construction OF the law and in
the courts own words. applied the rule
of common sense to the merits of the
case"
Brabon was fireman In the local de-
partment. On March 6. 1899, in answering
a call to a fire-alarm, he was thrown
from the hose wagon on which he was
riding and fell against stump standing
In the center OF an ungraded thorough
fare. receiving injuries from which he Ii
alleged by the plaintiff in the action to
have died.
The claim OF the widow has been pre-
scented to the council upon several occa-
sions within the past twelve months, and
at one time It is understood that the city.
while disclalming all liability, offered her
a small sum OF money in settlement OF
her claim. In view OF her alleged impov-
erished circumstances. This offer she re-
fused and the case was called for trial in
the superior court yesterday.
After a considerable portion OF the
plaintiffs evidence had been introduced
Attorney VIII f. Humphrey, in behalf
OF the city, raised the point that the de-
ceased came to his death by his own
recklessness in deliberately driving the
hose wagon upon an unsraded street
which was In no At shape for ordinary
traffic. II was further contended that
the deceased well knew the condition
OF the. street, and that he could have
reached his destination had he taken a
graded thoroughfare as promptly as by
the ungraded street.
In passing upon the objection Judge
Reid said that no fixed rule could be
applied in determining responsibility in
such cases.
IF the street was accessible" contin-
ued the court. land used by the public at
large for general traffic in the courts
opinion the city was morally responsible
for its condition. The fact that the thor
oughfare was not graded does not relieve
he defendant from liability. II the lat
ter considered the avenue dangerous Il
block 1t from travel. f.prefer to apply the
rule of common sense rather than to con-
strue the law bearing upon the subject in
a technical way. The court does not
agree with counsel In its contention that
the defendant can escape liability on this
plea
The case Is being heard by jury, and
its trial will probably occupy the greater
portion of another day before It Is finally
submitted upon argument to the jury
