CARR LOSES CASE
AT DEVILS LAKE,

for Hours Company Offered to Settle
for $500 but Carr Refused Point
Blank May Secure New Trial.

@. II. Carr, who sued the Hon
stein Bird Co. in the circuit court
Of the United States before Judge
Amidon at Devils Lake last week,
lost his case. The jury stood ten
to two in favor of Carr for sever
al hours, but the ten were finally
turned IN favor of the defend
ants. Carr some months ago
while working on a scahold in an
elevator at Mohall was ordered
to another part Of the scaffold
which was put up with flimsy
lumber, and it broke letting him
fall to the bottom of the wheat
bin thirty feet. 1t was q wonder
that the man was not killed out
right, but he struck fairly on one
OF his legs which was broken.
The bones refused to heal and he
1as brought to the Minot hos
pital after the Mohall physicians
had worked on him for a. couple
of weeks.
Ultimately Carr had to have
his leg amputated by Minot
physicians. Carr believed, and
so did the majority of the people
who knew anything OF the case,
that he was entitled to damages
of no small amount, firststarted
a suit for $4,000. He was
compelled to submit to a second
