it paid to the Grant Steen company
Of Weston for fire which destroyed
grain belonging to the company in
1908, as a re ult of a verdict return
ed shortly after o'clock yesterday
evening N the local court The suit
was against the o. R. & n. COM
pany, it being alleged that the two
fires which did the damage were
caused by sparks from an engine of
that company.
The trial occupied two days and
was hard fought. Lowell & Winter
and o. G. Moore of Spokane prose-
cutting the case. while Charles H. Car
ter of this city and w. A Robbins of
Portland acted as counsel for the de-
fendant
The points made by the attorneys
for the railroad company were two.
namely that there was not sufficient
proof that the fires were started by
the engines and that, even if they
We're, the evidence showed that the
company had used every reasonable
precauton to prevent a fire and was
therefore not responsible.
Inasmuch as a number Of grain
fires presumably caused by sparks
from passing engines occur each
summer, the verdict Of the jury may
have a bearing farther than the case
just decided.
