TRIAL BY JURY
First Jury Trial Case Held in Rich
field-Verdict for Plaintiff

The first trial by jury to be tried
in Richfield, came up before Judge

case of VIM. Osman VS.. R. B. Nc
Carly, for the recovery of horse
came up for trial
The jury was composed of James
deNooj Foreman, Mathew p Ward
Mr.. Neill, Mr. Cook and Mr.. Fender,
and returned a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff
The Osman boy had traded to Mr.
Macarthur, black horse for one be-
longing to Macarthur that was run
ming on the range and as Osman
could not find the horse he went to
Macarthur and wanted the horse trad
ed back to him, but Macarthur refus-
ed to give him up, when Osman thru
Attorney Carpenter brought the ac-
tion for the delivery Of the horse and
$500 damages, but the jury could
not see where the plaintiff had been
damaged any and brought in a YER
dict for the return Of the horse, which
threw the costs onto the defendant,
amounting in all to S11.

the amount of $1,000 was voted a
short time ago
But what kind of school house
are we to have? There seems to be
considerable difference in opinion as
to what the building shall be made
of. Some want a temporary frame
building, that can be used for year
or two and then sold, others want a
brick building that can be added to
as the town grows, while still others
are in favor of building lava rock
building,
There is no argument whatever for
building a temporary frame building
that we can see. for once the building
is built for school purposes there is
nothing else that the building can
be used for conveniently, and if the
board concluded to sell the building,
after they were through with it for
school purposes, it would not bring
fifty cents on the dollar and the price
lumber is, it would be rather dear
rent, on the long run.
A brick building, that could be
added to, as the schools require more
room is much more feasible, as there
would be no loss attached to build
ing of that kind, other than an extra |
wall, where the new addition would
join the original building.
A lava rock building, it seems,
would be the best of the three, and
would undoubtedly be the cheapest,
as there is plenty of the rock scatter
ed over the country that could un-
doubtedly be had for the hauling. 1t
would furnish employment for men
and their teams who live in Rich
fed, thus keeping a large portion OF
the money required for the building
at home, while there is no material
that could be obtained at any price
that would make a more beautiful
building, if finished in the same style
as the water works power house.
The building is not only beautiful {
but will stand forever, and where
the material can be had for the haul
ing, we do not see how it could help ,
but be cheaper than any other kind !
Of building.
The school board has beautiful Z
block of land in an ideal location and
he best building that it is possible \
@ build is none too good. Nothing d
speaks better for a town than good t
chool building and the town cannot e
lfford to build a cheap temporary
chool building. g
