The Jury in the Sophie F.. Hamilton
damage suit against the city for $4,000
brought in verdict in favor of the
city this morning; not allowing Mrs.
Hamilton one cent The verdict has in
general given satisfaction, though
sympathy is universally expressed for
Mrs. Hamilton. The verdict is a great
victory and means considerable, not
only for the city, but for the entire ter
ritory. as the case was the first OF 1ts
kind in the territory and, in a way
forms precedent. The verdict Will
save the city considerable money, as
there would most probably have been
more suits entered if the decision had
been against the city. The jury was
out from o'clock Saturday until III
o'clock that night, and as the judge
had set 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 native one, and
all except two of the jurymen We're nom
resident of Las Vegas. There was evil

Bank of Las Vegas against A. A. Sen

Benigno Martinez. for a debt of 5000
amount due on note.

verdict in the afternoon In favor OIL

The Santa Fe has been unfortunate in
the number of serious accidents that
