In the case of Stephen Brock
enridge against the American
Eagle mining company, Judge
Belt recently decided that in case
Mr.. Breckenridge was unwilling
to remit $15, 900 of the damages
awarded he would grant a new
trial. He considered that the
award was excessive and that
$4,000 would be about fair. What
decision Mr.. Breckenridge has
made in the matter has not been
learned.
