LAWSUIT Fl YEARS OLD.
II Is over Bull Killed by a Railway
Train In Missouri.

The famous case of Thomas II.
Sublette against the Iron Mountain &
Southern railroad company for injury
to bull, which has been in all the
courts of Missouri since its institution
over twenty years ago, came up again
at Clayton. II was presented to Judge
Mckinney of the circuit court In
the form of documentary evidence,
and was taken under advisement by
him.
Twenty-one years and one month
ago Mr.. Sublette obtained judgment liz
a justice of the peace court in Adaii
county for SIS. The suit was brought
to recover damages to young bull
belonging to the plaintiff, which was
struck by an engine of the railroad.
The railroad company took an ap'
peal to the circuit court in 1888, Mr.
Sublette took 1t to the supreme court
Of Missouri, which transferred II to
the Kansas City court of appeals. This
body sent the case back to the Adair
county circuit where a new procedure
was begun to recover the amount OF
judgment given by the justice OF the
peace court.
In 1894 the case was transferred
from Adair county to st. Louis county
and from Clayton 1t went to the st
Louis court of appeals. 1t was sent
back for retrial on reversal of judg
ment.
An execution was issued, an injunc
ton was taken out to stay the execu
ton, which was also taken to the court
Of appeals, and which was sustained
A new suit was then brought on the
original judgment, was mistried once
and was brought back into court again
| by Judge Mckinney granting q new
| trial
The matter of granting a new trial
was also taken to the higher courts
and sustained This was the proceed.
ing which brought it up to Oct. 30.
The bull has long since died, and
many of the witnesses have passed
away, out of reach of the courts. The
suit was originally for $125.-Ameri'

give promise of an accident sooner or
later. Looping the loop on a bicycle
is probably one of the most dangerous
feats ever performed, owing to the
difficulty OF keeping the center Of the
track while in such swift motion and
to the necessity of stopping the wheel
quickly after completing the loop. In
the apparatus here illustrated the
trouble in stopping the wheel seems
to have been eliminated, though pos.
sibly not to the complete satisfaction
of the rider, who has to dive head
foremost into bag suspended Just
at the end of the short journey. But
that is not the worst of it. He Is
compelled to enter the bag with his
head down and feet in the air and his
wheel bottom side upabove him, the
latter portion of the trip being taken
in that position.

Novel Court Decision.

During the severe earthquake In
Guatemala, April 10, 1902, certain
block of buildings was destroyed. II
was insured against fire, but not. as
was stipulated in the policy, against
fire occasioned by an earthquake, and
in this case the fire which destroyed
the buildings and the shock were al
most simultaneous. The owners OF
the property claimed that its destruc.
ton was caused by the overthrowing OF
a lamp Immediately before the earth
tremors, and thus in the end the legal
decision was made to hinge on the
exact time when various cities on
the line of movement were wrecked
Timing an earthquake by a court de-
cision Is novelty.
