Last weeks work began with the trlaI
of Charles L. Holman George Edison, an
action on the case to recover the value OF a
horse which the plaintiff let defendant
have in October, 1902, to keep awhile win
view to purchase. Plaintiff lived IN Ran
dolph and the defendant at Hartford. A.
ter little time, defendant concluded lhat
the hor-e was not what he wanted and so
notified the plaintiff, but kept him Tor
some time afterwards, instead OF returning
il directly. One MGR ing IN the winter
about five. o'clock, the horse was as
covered down in the stall with one fool
through a hole in the side Of the stall, ana
when the plaintiff went to see II wlthin
two or three weeks afterwards that foot
was badly crippled from an unhealed
wound a nd bruises were also apparent on
the side and hip. A little while after, the
horse died, either because of the original
negligence in allowing the hole IN the
stall lining or because the horse was not
properly cared for after IL was injured.
The Jury, after two hours deliberation, re-
turned a verdict Wednesday afternoon for
plaintiff to recover s130 and costs. *. Nj.

der and E. w. Smith for defendant.
