SERVANT
LAW IS APPLIED.
Damage Case in United States
Court Taken From Jury'S
Hands by Judge Marshal.

What is considered here as practical
ly new Interpretation of the fellow
servant law was applied yesterday
when the case of Steve Luke against
the Southern Pacific was taken from
the jury which had been empaneled- to
try it and, indeed, was trying it, with
Instructions that a verdict for the de-
PENDANT be returned.
Luke an Austrian labOrer, while at
work on the Lucin cutoff, alleged that
he lost his leg by reason of the failure
of the defendant to provide proper sig
nails and safeguards. He sued for $780,
600. The testimony, in a general way,
showed that il was the duty of a
brakeman on a construction train to
display signals. The accident occurred
at Lakeside on Aug. II, 1903.
Judge Marshall cited a number of de-
cisions in support of his action in di-
recting the jury to return a verdict for
the defendant on the ground that the
brakeman and Luke were fellow serv-
ants.

Odds and Ends.
Today's proceedings in the case were
devoted largely to what may be desig-
mated as odds and ends in the shape OF
testimony. Mrs. Bradley's mother was
recalled for the purpose of clearing up
a point: several more of the Salt Lake
City witnesses were examined as TO the
conduct and bearing of Mrs. Bradley in
that city; Mrs. Bradley's uncle, Lyman
Shrewsbury of California. told of in
stances OF insanity and eccentricity in
Mrs. Bradley's family. Judge Hender-
son, Senator Browns law partner, mar
rated interviews with Mrs. Bradley rel
alive TO her intimacy with Mr.. Brown.
and a number of Browns letters TO
Mrs Bradley We're read. The reading
of the letters furnished the most inter-
esting incident of the day. They were
filled with mingled protestations of
love and reprOacheS for interest in 9TH

to deep emotion. She listened eagerly

seemed entirely lost in the memory

Prisoner Pale and Detected.
The defendant was not in buoyant
mood during the day. Her manner was
detected. her speech infrequent and her
face pale. Evidently there had been
a reaction after the conclusion yester-
day of her testimony. She looked as if
she had had a slecDless night
She was not so depressed, however,
that she could not laugh over the testi-
mony OF her uncle indicating that her
aunt had been jealous of him.
Barnes Concludes His Testimony.
The trial was resumed at 1908
o'clock. Albert r. Barnes, assistant
attorney general of Utah, who was on
the stand yesterday for the defense,
continued his testimony.
Judge Powers, counsel for Mrs. Brad
ley, stated that the expert testimony
probably would not be begun until
Monday. The hypothetical question
that would be propounded to the med
zeal men had been completed. 1t en-
braces 1900 words II was expected
that the examination of all other wit

THE DORIAN MINING TAX
 LAW IN YAvAPAI COUNTY
An Increase of Over $2,oo0,0 900 or About Thirty Per Cent to the Assess
 ment of Last Year
Says the Lonrnal. Miner:


 Yavapai county's assessment roll for the year 1907, as turned in to the board of supervisors by County Assessor T. E. Campbell, shows the total assessed valu- ation of all property in the county to be $9,54l ,075.37, an increase of $2,l08,- 201.67 over that of 1906, after the board of equalization conclueded its la bors last year. This years roll may be increased by the board of supervisors, which meets as board of equalization in August to check over the valuation made by the assessor on all property in the county.
 Under the new Doran law, passed by the last legislature, separate roll is kept of all the producing mines in the county that come under the provisions of the new law, which taxes 25 per cent of the output of all mines produc- ing over $3,750 annually, at the same rate as other classes of property. This roll shows footing in round numbers of $2,447 900, and includes only seven teen different operating companies. Of these all but five have experienced a raise, due in every case to the opera ton of the new mine tax law.
 The largest raise in any one case in the county is that of the United Verde Copper company of Jerome, the out put of which is assessed under the new law at $2,009,53l, and the personal and other property at $50l, ,s90, making a total of $2,5ll ,42l. The assessed valu- ation placed upon this company's prop erty in 1906 was $1,1sl, 1885, its mines being then valued at $796,3S5 These figures show raise in this company g assessed valuation over last year of $l ,330, ,036, $l,213, l46 of which has been on the mines, the balance being on the other property.
