JUDGEMENT MONEY

innings Case Also Settled and
Logan Wreck Cases Now End
ed After Seven Years
Fight.
After several long years of
unceasing litigation, during
which the case has been twice
before the Supreme Court of the
State of Iowa, there was yester-
day deposited in the Monona
County Court a voucher for
$3.50, drawn by the Chicago
& North Western rail road
Company and in favor of James
j. Fitzgibbon of this city. The
voucher covers the judgement
OF $4,000 obtained in the Mono
ma County Court, the 1878 re-
presenting interest, costs etc.
The attorneys representing
Mrs. Anna Jennings of this
city, whose husband was killed
in the same wreck in which
Fitzgibbon sustained his injuries
have effected a satisfactory
settlement with the claim
agents of the North Western
system and the voucher is ex-
pected in few days now that
the Fitzgibbon case has been
settled.
Attorney Frank Tamisiea of
this city who cared for Fitzgib-
bons interests during the seven
years litigation has handled
the case with considerable abili-
t. and the successful termina-
ton of the suit is largely due to
his untiring efforts.
Thus are settled two of the
celebrated cases caused by the
terrible wreck of the Union
Pacific Pioneers excursion train
at Logan on the evening of
July 18th 1896. The Company
has already paid out more than
100000 in settlement of claims
growing out of the wreck.

Emperor William has issued
an order that the Berlin fire
department need not stop even
for the emperor or any of the
royal family. In this country
the fire companies do not need
such an order. When an alarm
comes in they would run over
the President if he didn't get
out of the way.

democrat and union labor candidate,
was on Monday elected mayor Of
Boise, defeating James A. Pinney, re-
publican, by majority Of 121 votes
out of 3OS1 cast. The question of
gambling in Boise entered largely into
the campaign Mr.. Hawley announced
that gambling would not be re-opened
in the city if he were elected. The
republicans elected 10 out of the II
candidates for aldermen and the city
treasurer, the only other official voted
for. Six of the successful candidates
for aldermen were indorsed by the
civic federation, which also Endorsed
Mr. Hawley for mayor.

cy captured the republican convention
and nominated Mr. Finney, an old pi-
oneer and an exemplary citizen, but
his nomination has been bolted by the
daily Statesman: and the civic league,
composed of citizens in favor of en-
forcing the gambling laws and more
stringent regulations OF saloons, in
dorsed Mr.. Hawley. upon failing to
control the republican convention.
Hawley is the leading democrat Of
Idaho. having been the caucus nom
inee for United States senator at the
last election. The registration this
year ran up to 1924, as against 2479
in the contest two years ago, which
was considered a hot one. but even
was as nothing TO the present cleo
ton.

spondent, vs.. Arthur R. Dreyman. ap-
pellant. This was an action to recover
commission on the sale Of real es-
tate 1t was alleged that Breyman
was employed as purchaser for the
property at a certain price. That the
purchaser was found. but that Brey-
man then refused TO sell. The Oar
row Investment company recovered
judgment in the lower court
The only question is based on the
refusal of the court to instruct the
jury as to the fact that if they should
find from the evidence that the plain
tiff was acting as agent for the pro-
posed purchaser as we'll as for de
PENDANT and that the defendant was
not informed thereof that the plaintiff
could not recover. the rule being that
where an agent is acting secretly as
employer for both parties he can re-
cover from neither.
The supreme court holds that there
was not sufficient evidence along that
line to warrant such an instruction.
The judgment was reversed and
new trial granted in the case of Geo.

positively that the man seen was
Smith, and that he was still without

peared into the thick brush again.
Those acquainted with the nature
Of the country surrounding there say
that a man could hide in the brush
for months and not be found less run
onto accidentally. The brush from
Center street stretches back into the
thick timber and even in the part Of
the city where there are houses and
it is so thick and tangled that a per
son could lay concealed ten feet from
where people might pass.
1t is believed that Smith has a
friend in Tacoma whom he is trying
to communicate with, and that he is
remaining in one district as much as
possible to give the other a chance
to find him.
