Recent Legal
Decisions

INDEMNITY INSURANCE AGAINST
ACCIDENT AS INCLUDING DISEASE.
An indemnity insurance policy in
sured an employer against loss from
liability for damages for bodily in
juries or death accidentally suffered by
any employees while on duty. While the
policy was in force an employee en-
gagged as a hostler in livery stable
had the care of horses which were aft
erwards found to have been suffering
from CHAMBERS. Such employee was di-
rected to assist in cleaning the stables.
No notice was given to him that the
horses suffered. or had suffered, from
CHAMBERS. The employee contracted the
disease and obtained a Judgment
against his employer for the resulting
His employer then sued the indemnity
company on the policy. The principal
question was whether the amount
which the employer was compelled to
pay was for damages on account of
bodily injuries accidentally suffered
within the policy. In II. p. Hood &
Sons VS.. Maryland Casualty company,
90 Northeastern Reporter, s2e. the SUI
preme judicial court of Massachusetts,
holds that 1t was clear that the in
lection which caused the disease from
which the employee suffered was due
to accident within the policy. It was
in the nature of an accident that he
was set to work in cleaning the
stables after the horses had CHAMBERS,
and it was in the nature of acci-
dent that he became infected with the
disease.

THE PRESENT JURY SYSTEM,
ITS ORIGIN AND PLACE IN LAW

, judgement of his peers and the law
of the land"
The institution of the jury and jury
trials had about arrived at its maturity
upon the settlement of the colonies in
this country and the common law of
England was brought by the coionists
to this country as part of the juris-
prudence.
I'm Scotland the jury system existed
from an early date, and in criminal
cases jury always consists of fifteen,
majority of whom was sufficient TO
convict. In Ireland, and almost all the
colonies of Great Britain, the jury
exists substantially as in the mother
country. In Portugal. the jury by the
act of 1898 was limited 10 six while i
verdict must receive at least the assent
of two thirds In Belgiuna trial by jury
of all criminal and political charges,
and for offences of the press is con-
stitutlonally guaranteed since its sepa-
ration from Holland. italy also provides
for trial by jury in criminal cases. In
Sweden the jury is never summoned
except in cases affecting the liberty of
the press. In Norway trial by jury in
| crimi nal cases was established in 1887.
and majority may render a verdict.
In Russia since 1854, they have jury
system, but poorly executed. In
Switzerland. all crimes against the
confederation must be tried by jury.
and 1t is said upon good authority. that
the jury system is in vogue in all the
South American States in criminal
cases. their civil jurisprudence being
based on the Roman law The Hawai-
ian Island provides for jury of
/
nine of whom may render a verdict. In
, France, no civil jury or grand jury
exists. while in criminal cases trial by
jury is constitutionally guaranteed In
Prussia the law provides a jury in
criminal cases, and verdict of the ma
jority of a jury composed of twelve"
In his Constitutional Historyof Eng
land canon Stubs says: Many writer's
of authority have maintained that the
entire jury system is indigenous in
England, some deriving it from Celtic
tradition. based upon the principles of
Roman Law, and adopted by the Anglo
Saxons. of which Alfred is the myfn3@

source from which the Normans them
selves derived it. One scholar main
tains that it was brought by the Morse
men from Scandinavia; another that it
was derived from the processes of the
ca non law: another that it was de-
veIoped on Gallo soil from Roman
principles, another that it came from
Asia through the Crusades.'
Mr. Bates says, Again it is suggest

Godfrey de Bouillon; it is even claimed

SALOONS IN TROUBLE

Because the two young men who bought out Jack Lindsay's saloon at Haines did not know that the filing of an application to run saloon by one who had not before been in the busi- ness did not authorize them to sell i- auors over the bar, and refused to be- lieve it when they were So informed, they have lost an opportunity to get rich in the Lynn canal town, just now on the eve of prosperity.
 Under the law, when a license ex pires, and new application has been filed, and the 5000 license fee depos- ited, the saloon keeper may continue in businss until the court acts. This pro- vision does not aid in any way an ap- plicant who is starting in business, and under the law he must wait until the court acts. When the new men who bought out Jack Lindsay applied for license, Judge Lyons was out of the district, and al lthe licenses were held up, but they proceeded to sell goods. Complaint was made, but they contin ued to sell, and the facts were report ed to the prosecuting attorneys of fce Prosecuting Attorney Rustgard says there is no doubt about the law, and that license cannot now be granted to them Their money will, however, be refunded, and it is proba ble that Jack Lindsay will again take the place over.
 Complaint has also been made against the Peerless saloon, in JuneM, on account of the Overman Fisher shooting, and another row which is said to have occurred there. There is also objection to Peal $ place in Sitka, and these three applications have been held up at the request of the prosecuting at torney.

ADVENTURES OF SCHOOL MA'AMs

Getting a dinner for song is ra- ther old idea, but the Douglas school teachers got one for a shout last Satur- day.
 The Misses McGill, Johnson and Dow, rich in the possession of Mrs. H. c. DeVighne as chaperone, took the first ferry for Juneau on Saturday morning, and reached the Perseverance mine at noon.
 Just to exercise their lungs they 'hollered. It was healthy "hol ler,'' which shook the snow over on Mount Olds. Foreman Jackson, half way up the tram, paused and looked around.
 How do you do,' he said
 "Fine,' they answered.
 "Won' t you come in and have some dinner9' he asked.
 "We hoped you d ask us" they an swered. So they went in and were hos pitably entertained at the mess house.
 Coming back they had another ad- venture. On the road they met man with twoseated carriage, driving handsome team that looked good to the girls from Kansas.
 s'Are from Douglass' he asked And they owned up.
 "I've come to take you home,' he said.
 "EWhy, who sent youa' they asked And he did Int know.
 While he drove up tie road, look ing for place to turn around, two of the teachers, fearing an abduction, "hot footed' down the road. The others consulted.
 "Maybe he was just joking" one of them suggested.
 "But," said another, Chow did he know we were from Douglas9''
 As the rain was falling four of them decided to ride, and got back to Ju- neau without further adventure. Since then several good Samaritans have owned up that they sent the carriage.

MISS HALL AND JACK WEIGH

When Miss Grace Hall locked the door of the Treadwell schoolhouse last spring, announced that she would not come back to Douglas Island, but would go to Minnesota to remain, and Jack Welch bade her good bye at the dock, the feeling spread that the lit tie white god was no longer in busi- ness at the old stand, and that the charm which hung over the Treadwell school had vanished into thin air. When the key was taken from the nail in Dan Webster office last fall it bore the legend, "Key to the Matrimonial Bureau,' but 1t is said that when she handed it back to him last spring, lie sighed heavily, and tore up the label.
 For years and years, the Treadwell school has never failed as match ma ker. It was built score of years ago, more or less, and, so the legend runs, in all that score of years, bride had come forth every spring. Doubtless there be chronic old grouches who think that they can remember years when the spring term did not close with marriage bells, but was there ever a legend that some old grouch did not stand ready to assassinates
 For all that, however, when the steamer bore that charming, blue eyed woman away and left big John Welsh hard rock miner and incidentally a prince in Dame Natures House of Lords, and with nothing, apparently, remaining of the legend but the marks which John Welch $ shoes had left on the stairs back of the 700 mill, the friends of the little white god were sor ", very sorry indeed
 But before Jack Welch quilted his
