preserved the whole time. In this
particular 1t is unlike the noise and
confusion that usually reisns on like
occasions In this part of the world.

operation, and then brought
suit for &25,O0 damages. He
employed Atty. LeSueur to han
die his case. Carr had no wit
ness in his favor. He had a
sworn statement from one wit
ness but when the case came to
trial he was surprised to find
that the defendants had evidence
to the contrary from the same
party. The evidence therefore
was not introduced.
Before the case came to trial
the defendants realizing that
their case was almost hopeless
offered to make settlement with
Carr for $500. Carr refused
point blank.
Judge Amidon in charging the
jury told them to first determine
whether the Honstein, Bird Co.
was liable or not. If so, the
amount of damages later. He
said, "If you do find them liable,
do not be sparing in the amount
Of the damages. Human life is
not cheap and limbs cannot be
purchased in the market"
Carr's friends hope that he will
be granted Il new trial. The
case will not be carried to the su.
preme court, but Atty. LeSueul
will make an attempt for a new
trial.
