| tributed as souvenirs. The guests

Sunday morning the Lutheran

Roseland's farewell sermon as pas
tor. He spoke from II Cor. 1877:
"Finally, brethern, forewell. He
spoke earnestly and impressively of
the happy relations which had ex-

Automobile Case Reversed.

Many of our readers remember an
interesting case tried in district court
here at the last January when Mrs.
Anna Mahoney of LeRoy sued j. Miles
Maxtield for $1,000 damages for physi-
cal injuries received from the oyerturn-
ing of her buggy on the public high
way, the horse being frightened by
Maxtield's automobile. The evidence
showed that Maxfield stopped his car
but did not stop the motor and it was
claimed that the noise of the motor
frightened the horse. 1t was held in
district court that the failure to stop
the motor was of itself an act of negli
gence and the jury gave verdict for
Mrs. Mahoney Of $500. The case was
appealed and the decision of the su
preme court virtually holds that the
Minnesota law regulating the operation
of automobiles does not require of the
operator the absolute duty upon signal
of stopping the motive power of his
automobile in addition to stopping the
machine itself. The court further
holds that whether the failure to stop
the motive power is negligence de-
pends i'll large degree on the circum-
stances in each case. The lower court
is reversed in this decision thus allow
ing retrial at the coming January
term of our district court. The sylla-
bus of the decision is af follows
Anna Mahoney, respondent, VS.. J.
Miles Maxtield, appellant.
Chapter 365, Gen. Laws 1908, (Sec.
1877 Rev. Laws 1905) does not impose
upon the driver or operator OF an auto
noble upon public road or street the
absolute duty upon signal to stop the
motive power of his vehicle in addition
TO stopping the vehicle itself. Whether
the failure to stop the motive power of
the vehicle is negligence must be deter.
mined by the circumstances OF each
case.
