RENDERED VERDICT
FOR $500
DAMAGES.
Mrs. s. Arntson Wins Suit at
Fargo-Asked $25, 900 for
Husband 8 Death.

Fargo Forum: "A verdict for IS, 600.
was rendered by jury in the federal
court today against the Union Light,
Heat & Power company in the action
which was brought by Mrs. Sarah
Arntson to recover damages on ac-
count of the electrocution of her hus-
band last year. The case was given
to the jury before noon today and
the verdict was reported soon after
court convened this afternoon. The
attorneys for the plaintiff were Bar
nett & Richardson and B. D. Town
send. The defense was represented bv
Newman. Holt & Frame and B. G.
Tenneson.
Arntson was timer. employed by
M. R. 0'Neil. He had been ENGAGED
In doing some work ON furnace in
the basement Of c. R. stones rest
dence. and when he completed his
work he left some tools I'M the base
ment. The following day he returned
to the basement to get the tools. While
In the basement he happened to touch
an electric light bulb and was instant
ly killed.
&As sAV - A0A VI, SuO CbbS III WHICH
Mrs. Arntson sought to recover $500
damages. 1t was shown that another
man had received q severe shock from
the same circuit in the basement a
short time before Arntson had been
killed and that the electric light COM
'pany had been notified. An employee
had been sent to the scene to investi-
gate and. In fact, had made an in.
vestigation before Arntson had receiv-
ed the fatal shock. However, it was
not shown that the electric light COM
panys employees had notified anyone
that the light was dangerous and it
was this fact that induced those who
had followed the case to freely pre-
dict that heavy verdict for the plain
TIL would be rendered.
1t was shown by the electric light
company that wire carrying heavy
voltage had crossed the house wires
and thus the death of Arntson was
accounted for. The matter has al
ways been in dispute.
1t Is possible that there may be still
another suit growing out of the death
Of Arntson. 1t appears that he ca..
ried policy for $1,000 in the Wood
mems lodge and that the money has
been paid. 1t Is reported that tie
lodge will shortly commence an ac-
ton against the electric light company
for the amount of the policy.

Fargo Forum 7th: An automobile

on the upper Red river last night by
auto. The party, which also included
John johnson of Grand Forks, started
at a. m. yesterday morning and made
an easy run. arriving here at S p. m.
They reported that the roads were
very good the greater part of the way.
but that when they neared Fargo they
ran into muddy stretch caused by

the party are spending the day here
and plan to start on the return Jour-
ney tomorrow.

ing last night.
The exact figures are 1860. en-
ploying the multiple 1-3. the same
used in estimating last years CEN
sus. which was proven approximately
correct by the state census and direc-
tory census. Last year using the above
multiple the population of the city
was 12.472. showing gain of LIS.
or nearly per cent. in favor Of this
year.
The figures given by the director of
census show total school population
for 1906 of S,102. This does not in
clude pupils of school age attending
the state university. Grand Forks COL
lege. or St. Bernard's. or at least only
part of the latter Add fifty to the
total to include names not secured
through inability to procure informa-
ton. and Grand Forks has a school
population of $3.50, as against 1897,
year ago. The increase in favor of
the current year is. therefor, 1913. The
members of the board of education are
naturally very gratified at this re-
port. demonstrating as it does. not
only the steady growth of the city, but
recognition of the excellence and
stability of our school system. Grand
Forks has the best conducted schools
and the largest high school in the state
of North Dakota, not even excepting
Fargo.
The increase is born out by the fact
that the board Of education has found
1t necessary to add several rooms at
the Wilder school and similarly at
the high school. which has grown so
rapidly that y has been hard, to keep
pace with the, demands for space and
for first class teachers.
The building levy of the board of
education made at the annual meeting
last month for the year was 81, 900.
The board is not attempting to meet
future demands for space but is at
tempting to keep pace with the pres
ent needs.
The city is growing more rapidly at
the present time than for many years
as an inspection of the city engineers
monthly report Of building permits
shows. President Bacon of the board
of education lis confident that the
population is increasing more rapidly
this year than ever before in it's his
tory and he believes with other men,
bers of the board, that another two
years will bring the population to the
$4,000 mark. z.
AS result of the increased school
population. the schools of this city
will secure state aid this year in a
sum that will be several hundred dol
lars larger than that of a year ago.
