FRUIT SHIPPERS ASK HEAVY
DAMAGES FROM O.. R. { \. Co,

Damages tu the amount of approxi-
mately $7,40O are demanded in a suit
against the O. X. & N. company which
is being tried in the circuit court to-
day. The plaintiffs are Riggs & Mar
tin fruit shippers. 1t is alleged that
the damages were sustained during
the months of October and November,
1907, by reason OF the failure of the
railroad company to furnish twelve
cars when they were ordered. AS a
result of this failure to supply the
cars fruit to the amount specified is
alleged to have spoiled.
The two principal lines of defense
advanced by the attorneys for the rail-
road company is that the company's
officials did all in their power to fur
nish the cars and that in the second
place mach of the fruit was rotting
at the time, and would have spoiled
anyhow and that the railroad COM
pany cannot therefore be held ac-
courtable for this loss.
Charles Cohen of Boise is the prln-
cipal attorney for the plaintiffs, while
Judge S. A. Lowell of this city, assist
ed him this morning in securing the
jury and becoming familiar with the
practices in the local court. Arthur
C. Spencer Of Portland is the princi-
pal attorney for the railroad company.
He is being assisted by Attorney
Charles H. Carter who is the railroad
local legal representative.
In addition to the large amount of
money invilved the case is considered
important by reason of the fact that
