READY
TO PAY

1t is not often that a person will
consent to relinquish a claim of $40,
600, especially when the amount is
ordered paid by the court. Neverthe-
less, Sarah Wright, the woman who
secured verdict against the Northern
Pacific for $4,000, has consented to
remit $4,000 of the amount.
The company was refused new
trial and was about to appeal the case
to the supreme court. Rather than
run the risk of losing all, or at least
more than $4,000, she decided she
would accept $4,000 and be content.
The judgment was one of the largest
ever granted in damage case in this
county.
The company will pay the $4,000.
