is GIVEN DAMAGES
Verdict for $I,lOO in Favor of NJ.
A. Gould Against Rail-
way Company.
SECOND TRIAL OF THE CASE
Cox Personal Injury Suit to be Heard
in Federal COurt-Other
Matters.

The jury in the case of NJ. y. Gould,
Of Moline. county surveyor. against
the Tri-City Railway company, this
morning returned a verdict awarding
the plaintiff damages Of S1.100 for
alleged personal injuries received in
being elected from car at Tenth
street. in Moline. This was the sec
Ond trial of the case. At the former
hearing the verdict was for $3.50.
The railway company asked and was
allowed Il new trial. Gould sought TO
recover 5000.
Gould claimed that after he had
paid his fare he became engaged in Il
worly alteration with the conductor,
and that he latter. without iustifiable
provocation. pushed him off the car.
In alighting he stated that he fell OH
| the pavement and was injured to such
an extent that he probably Will never
fully recover from the effects of the
shock. The defense was that Gould
had been drinking and used language
that was offensive to the other pas
sengerS on the car. and that he was
elected only after he had disobeyed
repeated opportunities from the con-
ductor to desiSt in his unbecoming
conduct. 1t is likely the case will he
carried to the appellate court.

nant in the Southwestern Washington
League and cannot now be defeated for
first place. The game was Hoquiam's
from the first inning, when an error and
two hits, coupled with some stupid base
ball playing on the part Of the Pippins,
Melted the P. G's three scores. dad"
Schwartz made home run in the third.
After that inning Mr.. Galaski thought
he would do better in center field and
Belt was put in to finish out the game.
In the five innings pitched by Belt the
p. G.'s succeeded in pushing two more
men around the sacks, making their
score at the end OF the game 6.
The Pippins were unable to connect
S 'fely at any time with Emerson's swift
twisters, but did succeed in pushing two
men across the home plate by the poor
playing of the P. G's.
The umpiring OF that man Tower was
the feature of the game. While we do
not claim that the Pippins would have
defeated the =. G's. had the umpiring
been straight, Mr.. Tower certainly
helped put the Pippins on the bench ty
his rank decisions.
Both Mackey and Broadhurst had an
off day, and each made two errors at
critical stages OF the game Following
