verdict of 21 cents in favor of the
plaintiff. On the 14th of last De
cember the plaintiff and defendant
engaged in personal encounter II
a hotel where the former was Z
cook and the latter was clerk, which
resulted in the defendant paying q
fine in one of the lower courts anG
on account of the injuries received
the plaintiff brought suit for dana.
ges to recover the sum of 81, 900. 90.
It was shown in the evidence that
the plaintiff continued his duties
for a day after the excitement and
for this reason it was held that the
damage to his person was not great.
There had been difficulties before
and when the jury was called upon
| to weigh the whole matter it was
decided that the plaintiff should pay
21 cents to Mr.. Wesley ascompensa-
tory damages; to reimburse him for
the time he had lost, for the expense
incurred in the way of medical SER
vice and to compensate him for the
pain he had undergone, when it
came to the exemplary damages,
that is what the defendant should
pay in the way of costs to the coun-
ty which would be an example to
others who might court such diff
culties, it was decided that the
amount should be nothing.
Unless the jury decided the DANA
ges amounted to fifty dollars or
more the costs could not be thrown
on the defendant. AS it stands the
defendant must pay of the costs a
sum equal to the damages assessed
which amount to 21 cents. It will
be seen that Mr.. Welk must pay his
share of the costs plus 21 cents and
Mr.. Wesley must pay the remainder.
The costs amount to but small
sum.
