AWARDED $4,000
DAMAGES

Thirty minutes after the damage
suit of r. II Burch had been given to
the jury a verdict was returned in
favor of the plaintiff, and for damages
to the sum of 100000 The jury took
but one vote, and the first ballot,
awarding the plaintiff the damages
stated above, received nine asserting
votes, and three dissenting votes. 1t
required but nine votes TO secure YER
dict. and on a second ballot the ver-
diet was unanimous.
As soon as the judge was INSTRUCTED
that a verdict had been reached, he
summoned the attorneys for both sides
and in few minutes the court was
called and the verdict read, each one
Of the jurors, replying that that was his
individual decision. Attorneys Shoup
and Mack then gave notice of an ap-
peal to thee supreme court, and the
jury was discharged.
Interesting and somewhat sensation
al developments marked the closing
scenes of the trial This came about
through an enmity which sprang up
between Attorney G. L. Mack, for the
railroad company and Attorney II. b.
Mcmillan, for the plaintiff, Burch
The two lawyers almost come to
blows during a recess that had been
called, and during their respective ad
dresses to the jury, both took occa-
tion to severely criticize the other.
Mcmillan took offense at the contin-
ued warning which Mack gave to the
jury, that the trump card of the plain
tiff and their attorneys was a display
of eloquencc which Mcmillan would
launch forth in when he addressed the
jury. Beware of the eloquent speak
er from Utah, - shouted Mack to the
jury several times. There was recess
called after Mack had concluded his
address Mcmillan approached him
and said "I'll knock your head off
your shoulders if you don It let up on
this. Both men assumed the Jeffries
pose, when the deputy sheriff inter
posed and prevented fight
Mack in his address to the jury also
said the evidence of the plaintiff was
false, perjured and worked up, that it
had no truth, and should not be con-
sidered by the jury. Mcmillan in his
address resented this very bitterly, and
arraigned Mack in a sarcastic manner.
He said Mack was possessed of lying
tongue, and black heart, and only
one who had been used to using perjur-
ed evidence would accuse fellow law

eral of the jurors personally and
called them to witness his
character as a man, and

Christmas day at the Catholic church,
which had been suitably decorated for
the occasion, Mr.. s. Monthelon Bow

fact the trump card for the plaintiff.
Although it perhaps did not change
the whole tenor of the trial, it at any
rate clinched the case for the plaintiff
and made the $4,000 damages easy.
The decision met with general ap-
proval locally. The case for the
railroad company is about all in, and
, it is believed that a new trial will not
change the verdict.
The accident by which Burch re-
covered damages occurred Monday
evening, October Goth, 1908, at about
5 O'Clock. The switch engine was
working in the east end of the Win
nemucca yards, and Burch was standing
on the side of the track when a ca
boose was sent flying down the main
line at a speed of about six miles an
hour. He attempted to catch the front
end of the caboose, but missed, claim
ing that he was struck by switch
stand, and he fell under the car, the
wheels passing diagonally across his
left leg and catching his right foot.
The crew picked him up and carried
him to the depot Dr. Samuels was
hastily summoned and, assisted by
George Carly and Harry Eaton, gave
him all the aid possible. The loss of
blood was great, and his sufferings
were intense He. was taken to the
Southern Pacific hospital, where he was
operated on, portion of his right foot
and left leg being amputated.
Burch is marriel man and has a
wife and seven children living near
Ogden. At the time of the accident
he had been employed in the Winnie
mucca yards about three months, and
was sober and industrious employe,
held in the highest esteem by his fel-
low employees.
