CASE WAS REVERSED.
Mdon Mans $4,000 Verdict Not
Good.
DETERMINED IN THE SUPREMECO COURT
Because of Certain Peculiar Phases
the Case Has Created Considerable
Interest-other Happenings Over
the State of Iowa.

Des Moines, May 1.-THE supreme
court yesterday reversed the case OF
G. s. Trott, of Eldon, VS.. the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railway COM
pany, which was appealed by the
Rock Island from Muscatine county,
100000 damages having been award
ed in the lower court for personal in
juries. The cafe has been in the
courts for several years, having once
before been reversed by the supreme
court and sent back for new trial. Be-
cause of certain peculiar phases in
volved 1t has created considerable in
terest all over the state. The supreme
court reverses the case in favor of the
Rock Island on the ground that tables
of expectancy of human life should
not have been submitted to the jury
as conclusive in determining the age
Trott would have lived in order that
damages for injuries might be award
ed correctly. The court holds that
this was not true way of determin
ing damages, but that the tables
should have been weighed with other
evidence, such as the physical condi-
ton of the injured person at the time
Of the accident, his general health, his
avocation in life with respect to dan
ger, his habits and all other facts
which might have entered into the
probable duration of life. Another
ruling of the supreme court, and one
which will be of considerable import
J ance in determining question in per-
sonal injury cases is that the lower
court erred in its instructions when it
limited the extent of plaintiffs earn
ing power to that of laboringg man.
1t is held that while he might be to-
tally disabled for manual labor his
earning capacity in other avocations
would not be lessened and that the in
structions consequently permitted of
too large an award of damages.
Other Opinions.
The following opinions were render.
ed by the supreme court yesterday:
F. NJ. Barron VS.. j. NJ. Collenbaugh, ar-
pellant, Lyon county; reversed.
Susanah Campbell, appellant. VS.. George
Gonkey, Blackhawk county, affirmed.

joy the comforts of the home Mr.. Fee
jervay provided for old farmers. The
fact has long since been realized by
the trustees that any native American
who has farmed continuously in Iowa
for twenty years doesn't need home
provided by charity. The sole heir of
the estate is Miss Fejervay, now living
in Buda Pesth, and she has forwarded
to the trustees modification of the
trust to the extent that they may adj
nit to the home such old persons, res
idents of Scott county, as they may
deem proper, provided that prefer
ence shall always be given to appli-
cants who fulfill the conditions pre-
scribed by Mr.. Fejervary.

MILWAUKEE, CUTOFF.
Rumored That the Road Absorbs a
Small Property.

Wapello. May 16.-It is rumored
that the Milwaukee, Chicago & st.
Paul railroad company has purchased
the Muscatine North and South, and
that they will abandon the survey
made through the northern part of the
country and will use the roadbed of
the Muscatine North and South from
Muscatine to Wapello, thence from this
place will build west to Ottumwa. 1t
is thought that while this route will
be little longer than the survey that
has been made through the northern
part of the county, yet owing to the
fact that the country from Wapello
west is much more level, with less fills
and cuts, that the company can make
better time by coming this way. 1t is
also rumored that Wapello will be
made an end of division on the Mil
Waukee.

HOME FOR AGED FARMERS.
Refuge Established by Scott County
Resident Has Strict Requirements

RCSiucHt t1dS OlIiCl Requirements
Des Moines, May 16.-The charita-
BILE designs of wealthy Iowa farmer
which at first seemed destined to bear
no fruit are abut to be realized by rea-
son of the wisdom, of his sole surviv-
ing daughter Nine years ago NJ Fee
jervary, wealthy farmer of Scott
county, turned over to committee of
three trustees his home and large
amount of property for the purpose of
establishing what is known as the Fee
jervay Home for Old Farmers. Mr..
Fejervay desired especially to assist
farmers who had grown old and need
ed assistance and he made it a condi-
ton of entrance to the home that the
applicant must have been born in the
United States, never have been con-
victed of crime, be over 60 years old
and to have been engaged practically
for twenty years in farming in Scott
county, Iowa. He died before it be-
came evident to him that the require
ments made the home almost useless.
Only six persons have ever sought
the comforts of this home and as they
were all advanced in life the number
has been reduced until at the present
time there is but one old man to en-.

sent the fatal bullet crashing through
his head, lying at his side.
