sound principles of government for
which the party has stood,-for the

Verdict of Ten Thousand Dollars.
Yazoo City Sentinel,


The most interesting civil 1uit on the
docket for this term of court, and one OF
the most interesting ever tried i'll the
county, was concluded about 6 o'clock
last Friday evening, when the jury rem
dered a verdict against Yazoo City for
damages in the sum of $4,000 in favor
of Mrs. Anna Birchett, for the death OF
her husband.
The case is no doubt familiar to our
readers, but a brief review 0 it may not
be out of place. In November, 1904,
James Brichett, lineman for the Cum
berland Telephone Co., was sent to the
corner of Washington and Powell streets
to adjust some trouble with the tele-
phone line. Near that corner was a guy
wire, from which the electric light pole
was crossed with an electric light wire,
from which the insulation had been re-
moved. In ascending the telephone
pole Mr.. Brichett took hold Of the guy
wire. which was close to the pole that
he was climbing, and received a shock
which resulted in his death.
Mr.. Birchett had been married only
three days before to Miss Anna Brooks,
and a short time after his death the
widow brought suit against the city for
damages in the sum of $4,000. The
case has been set for trial at every term
of court since that time, but repeatedly
postponed until this term of court, being
called on the first day.
