FIRST COLLEGE BALL GAME.
How Washburm College Defeated *.
Z. in 1879.

Charles K. Holiday has a clipping
from an old Lawrence paper giving
an account of the first college game
of baseball ever played in Kansas.

was played at Lawrence, April, 1879.

of 30 to % Charles F. Scott now

of the K. U. players was Ed c. Lit

lieutenant colonel of the Twentieth
Kansas Charles Holiday played
third base on the Washburn team
and other members of the nine were
Jess G. Elliott Fred left, and DeHart
a colored player. The following is
the account in the Lawrence paper:
ON the 18th of April the students
of the State university received
challenge from the students of Wash
burn college for game of baseball.
Ihe university did not boast of such
thing as a baseball club, but they
don't take a back seat for anybody
so they accepted the challenge. Short
" after they picked up a nine, and
nave found time to practice just
twice before entering the match. It
was wonderful, therefore, that they
were able yesterday to even make it
hard work for the Washburns to
carry off the laurels.

FELLOW SERVANT LAW.
Supreme Court Decides a Case Of
Great Railroad Importance.

Washington, May 1.-THE supreme
court of the United States laid down
the principle that a telegraph operator
for a railroad company and a fireman
on a railroad engine are fellow SER
wants and that the negligence of the
former causing the death of the latter
IN the operation OF trains was FISK
the fireman assumed and was not a
ground for damages against the rail
road company.
The case was that of Aline Dixon
against the Northern Pacific for dam
ages for the death of her husband, c.
A Dixon, a fireman on the road killed
in collision caused by the negligence
of a telegraph operator. The opinion
delivered by Justice Brewer answers
two questions from the United States
circuit court of appeals for the Eighth
circuit as follows:
First, wnen a local telegraph OPP
orator is called upon specially by a
train dispatcher to give information
relative to the arrival of a train at
his station, to enable the dispatcher to
formulate orders for the movement of
other trains does the local operator in
the matter of giving such information
act as a fellow servant of the train OPP
eratives in such sense that the master
is not liable to train operatives who
are injured by obeying an erroneous
order of the dispatcners that was IN
duced BY false information given py
the local OPERATOR"
The answer to this question is:
THE telegraph operator was, under
the circumstances described, fellow
servant of the fireman
Second, Is the negligence of a local
telegraph operator and station agent
of a railway company in observing and
reporting by telegraph to the train
dispatcher the movement of trains past
his station, which causes the injury or
death of a fireman of the company
without any fault or negligence of the
train dispatcher. the negligence OF a
vice principal for which railway is LA
BILE in damages to the fremen or his
personal representatives or is it the
negligence of a fellow servant of the
fireman the risk of which the latter as
sumes?"
Answer:
THE negligence of the operator was
the negligence of a fellow servant of
the fireman, the risk of which the lat
ter assumed.
A dissenting opinion was delivered by
Justice White and concurred in by the
chief justice and Justices Harlan and
McRenna.
In this dissenting opinion the view
was expressed that the operator was
the agent of the employer and as such
his negligence rendered the employees
liable for damage or death caused
thereby.
The opinion was further expressed
that the courts decision would create
much confusion.
