MRS. WARE LOSES CASE
AGAINST Il. P. RAILROAD

The Ware case of which trial was
commenced in federal court at Fargo
last week Thursday, was concluded
Saturday. The details Of the case were
given last week. The suit was one
brought by Mrs. Jennie Ware against
the N. P. to recover $50. 600 for the
death Of her husband. who was killed
in q freight wreck at Gladstone. There
were a large number of witnesses called
by the defense to prove that Ware, who
was an employee Of the road. was a
ltrespasser and had no right on the
freight train. The jury rendered q sealed
verdict which was opened Monday morn
ing. The jury found for the railroad
company, sustaining the court in setting
aside the former verdict of S.. 600 which
was awarded the plaintiff. The jury
was out nearly "a hours.
Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Ware,
who. in losing the case, has lost practi-
cally everything. It is understood that
the railroad offered to settle for S., 900
but the case was pushed in hopes that
q verdict would be secured giving her a
greater sum-. The result is not only the
failure to get any money from the
railroad but q heavy expense in fighting
the case.
In charging the jury, Judge Amidon
said:
These are the three things that you
must decide in this 9 First-Was
Edward Ware riding rishtfully on that
freight train at the time of his death?
There was q rule of the company which
expressly forbade passengers to ride on
freights without a permit from the COM
pany. If Ware was riding where he had
no right to be merely through the TACT
that he was a railroad man and a friend
of the conductor. then his widow has
no recourse. The next point to consider
Was the defendant guilty of gross
carelessness? Edward Ware was riding
on q pass, and the statute of this state
provides that such q holder cannot re-
cover damages from the carriers except
TO, gross neglect Of ARE.
The third and last point that you-must
consider is the character of Wares own
actions. If he failed to exercise the
utmost care that a normal and prudent
man should have, then you will decid-'
for the defendant, the railroad come
pany."
