$500 damages, awarded in the district

drunken state he fell asleep. While
he was sleeping the men about the sa-
loon, and 1t was alleged that the bar
tender was a party to it, played a
practical joke on Olsen by pouring al

result was that Olsen sustained one
badly burned foot and brought suit
against the proprietor for damages and
was awarded $500.
