DENIES
A new TRIAL
IN COLUMBIA HOTEL FIRE CASE,
G. N. WILL TAKE 1T HIGHER
NO DECISION IN ANY STATE
COVERING SIMILAR clRcuM-
STANCES.

Judge Taylor OF st. Cloud, before
whom the case was tried. has denied a
new trial on motion Of the defendant
in the case Of John Erickson VS.. the
Great Northern Railway co. The lat
ter made an alternative motion, a few
days ago, asking for judgment not
withstanding the verdict, or an order
for a new trial therein.
Through Attorney Dosland the plain
tiff brought an action claiming dam
ages for the burning Of the Columbia
hotel last January, and the cause was
tried at the last term of court. the
plaintiff being awarded $22,50O dam
ages by the jury. 1t was alleged that
at critical moment in the progress of
the fire, an engine ran over a line of
fire hose and severed it and the plain
tiff claimed that but for that the fire
would have been extinguished without
any great loss to the structure.
Importance is attached to this case
as there seems to be an absence of
any flat-footed decision in this or any
other state which establishes liability
under circumstances shown by the evil
dence in this case
In note attached to his order, Judge
Taylor says, there is no decision in
this state as to the liability of rail-
way company for running an engine
over and thereby cutting a hose laid
across it's track, and in use for the
purpose Of extinguishing a fire. Other
courts seem to be unanimous in hold
ing that railway company is requir-
ed to stop its trains If 1t can be done
without danger and is necessary to
avoid interrupting the use Of such a
hose, and also in holding that under
certain circumstances the company is
liable in damages for failure to do so;
but they differ as to the circumstances
that entail such liability. The Michi-
gan court holds that no liability at
taches unless the engine driver had &C
tual notice that the hose was laid
across the track. other courts do not
confine liability within such narrow
limits, but say, in effect, that an en-
gineer who knows that a fire is in pro-
gress in proximity to the track, and
that the apparatus of the fire depart
ment may be in use for the purpose
of extinguishing 1t, should use ordi-
nary care to avoid interfering with
such apparatus.
In his argument for a new trial
the attorney for the defendant made
the point that the firemen were in a
measure trespassers, but Mr.. Dosland
forcefully combatted that idea. Judge
Taylor holds with Mr.. Dosland that
there was not a trespass in this case,
a II Nf Tf fc said that the
case turns on the question as to wheth-
er the engineer was properly cogniz-
nant OF the fire.

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago. Aug. 17.-It is the general
belief among wheat traders that the
Idchstern bull interest is largely re-
sponsible for the decline Of cents
In the wheat prices from the recent
high points. Wheat has come out on
bulges in such volume that 1t is diff
cult to trace the selling to other than
leading bull forces and that by Arm
our. Local professionals who have been
bullish have generally unloaded its
losses and are disguested with the ac-
ton OF the market, because 1t has not
gone in accord with the news and the
public has failed to enthuse over the
sensational crop reports recently sent
out. Very little long wheat was held
by the local professionals last night
and the general belief was that the
short interest had been largely in
creased. Bears, however, are not OPP
pressing the short side with much ag
Eressiveness except in a few instances.
