No Damage from Auto owner.

The first suit in the district court here
for damages by reason OF a runaway al
legged to have been caused by an automo-
bile resulted yesterday in favor Of the
defendant auto owner. Mrs. Isabel Dor
sett was the plaintiff and former Council
man L. A. Casper the defendant. Mrf.
Dorset asked for $4,000 damages, alleg-
ing that on June of last year the horse
she was driving became frightened and
unmanageable on account OF Mr.. Casper 5
automobile passing it, and finally ran
away, throwing her out Of the buggy, as
a result of which she was severely in
jured.
The trial of the case was begun yester-
day morning before Judge Wheeler and
a jury in the district court. At the close
of the evidence for the plaintiff Judge
Wheeler sustained the motion of counsel
for Mr.. Casper to take IL from the jury
and direct a verdict for their client. The
evidence for the plaintiff failed to show
that Mr. Casper was driving the machine
at excessive speed or that he manifested
any lack of care.
The outcome of the suit was watched
with considerable interest by other
owners of automobiles in this city, OF
whom there are now quite a number.
