600 brought in a verdict in favor of the
city this morning; mo- allowing Mrs.
Hamilton | cent. The verdict las in
general given satisfaction. though SYM
pathy is universally expressed for Mrs.
Hamilton. The verdict is a great vic
tory for Hon. Charles A. Spiess and
S. B. Davis. Jr., and means considera-
BILE, not only for the city, but for the
entire territory, as the case was the
first of it's kind in the territory and. in
a way, forms a precedent. The verdict
will save the city considerable money.
as there would most probably nave
been more suits entered if the decision
had beer against the city. The jury
was u from A o'clock Saturday until
II o'clock that night, and as the judge
had set a time limit for reporting that
night at $3.50, the verdict was not
given out until court convened this
morning. The jury was entirely a ma
tive one, and all except two of the jury.
men were not residents OF Las Vegas.

the cases at this term asking for q
jury. Court then adjourned until 10

list last night in the person of Chan
