Custer. S. D.. Oct. 25.-Again

these regions. shown that he is
ready and willing to fight on
small provocation. Eddy Kor-
thaus. a small boy, mounted his
horse and set out with only a
small rifle. for bobcat in the
hills. When he reached the spot
where the cat IA supposed to
be. he thought he saw it in the
bushes and drove his horse right
at 1t. In an instant he saw his
mistake. for the cleaning fea-
lures of a vicious mountain lion
suddenly sprang out of the bush
and made for the horse and
rider.
Eddy's horse was as fright
ened as the boy. and was soon
racing down the mountain side
to safety. Hunters are waiting
for snow, to track the hon to its
lair and capture 1t.

CORPORATIONS AND JURIEs.

~ SISnluCdnG NSFulCC was rem
dered in damage suit tried in
Orangeburg last week. 1t WIS an
action against The Southern
Raj way company by the repre-
sen atives OF a brakeman named
Hoover who lost his life while
IL the discharge of his duties.
The jury found for the plaintiff
the sum of $500, though the
amount sued for was $4,000. A
motion was made by plaintiffs
counsel for a new trial on the
ground that the verdict was in
adequate, which was refused by
the presiding Judge.
While the amount appears
small in such case, the verdic;
is significant in that it is proba.
bly, indicative of reaction in
public sentiment in this matter
Il damage suits against railroad
and other corporations. 1t is a
notorious fact that for the past
few years some very heavy YER
diets have been rendered agains,
defendant co.porations-so heavy
that in some inS tances the Judges
have found it necessary TO re-
duce the findings or to grant
new trials, on the ground of ex,
cessive damages, where the
would not accept the
amounts as reduced by the court.
The policies Of some of the
railroads OF The country, their
conduct and management in the
past have not been such as to
win the confidence and good
will of the public, but on the
contrary to create aniagonism
ani distruat on the part Of The
people. Much prejudice in con-
sequence has been engendered
against corporations generally.
and particularly against
railroads, and some juries
have no doubt been uncon.
Sciously biased thereby in deter
mining issues before them in
which corporations were parties
in interest, either as plaintiff or
defendants.
But now that the railroads ap-
pear to be the "undef dog" in
the great fight that is being
made all over the country
against them, in congress, in
the State legislatures and in the
courts, and since they are SEEM
ingly trying TO give the
public better service, the
feeling against them is not
so strong as it was, the people
are more disposed to give them
another trial so to speak, and the
probabilities are that they will
in future fare better at the hands
of juries.
