Judgment for Forty-Five Hum
dred Dollars Against Frisco.

dred Dollars Against Frisco.
During the session of the court
just closed but few Of the many
civil cases were brought to trial.
The only case Of any importance
tried was that Of Bobbie Lee
Wright, ct. al. versus the Frisco
railroad company in which the
] jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiffs for $4,500.
II will be- recalled that some-
thing more than two years ago a
wagon containing Bobbie Lee
Wright. q negro boy about ten
years old. and his mother. was.
run into at the crossing of
! Church street and the Frisco by
the fast mail train Of the road
I that passes here about eleven
! o'clock. The woman was killed,
I the horse and mule and wagon
! ground to pieces and the boy
, badly crippled, several bones be-
! ing broken. The evidence show
! ed that the train was running at
I an excessive rate of speed in
I violation of the statute requiring
|, all trains not to be run over six
! miles an hour in Incorporated
! towns. The boy, Bobble Lee
] Wright, sued the road for dam
! ages, the jury awarding a judg
| ment Of $1,000 in his case, which
was appealed to the supreme
court. The supreme court affirm
ed the judgment of the Circuit
Court here and ordered the
amount with interest and appeal
damages of five per cent .paid,
which was done. In the trial of
the Bobbie Lee Wright case, the
hagman of the road testified that
he stood out and waved a, red
flag at the woman and boy and
endeavored to get them to stop.
but-they drove on and was run
into by the train. In. the last
case the jury found a verdict
! against the road for $4,000 with
practically the same evidence be-
fore the jury as was introduced
on the former case.
! At the spring term of the
Gaprszne uuu a judgment
i rod for 81, 500 for
killing oung Moore at
me Aberdeen &C
mmodaN D was affirmed. It
vas proven that the road was
violating the six mile statute in
this case.
From the verdicts in the cases
mentioned above it is evident
that the juries Of the county
have grown tired of the useless
killing Of people by trains run
nine at excessive speed in cor
porations in violation of the
statute providing a speed of six
miles. This speed limit is dis
regarded by the road with practi,
cally every train and the juries
have come to the realization that
the only way to put a stop to the
RECKLESS killing and mangling of
the citizens. of the county is to
enforce the lawsagainst the roads
by awarding heavy damages.
The plaintiffs in the ease were
represented by Clayton, Mitchell
and Clayton.
Another case tried was that
of Lorn Strinberger versus the
Western Union Telegraph Co.,
in which the jury awarded a
verdict against the telegraph
company for $500 for failure to
deliver a telegram.

Weary of the wandering
Over land and sea,
How the Home of yesterday
Calls and calls to me!
Singing, singing In my heart
Wakes long lost dream
I am turning to the hills
Where the morning CLEAN.
I've been up and down the world,
Touched its Turing gold
But the glitter wears away
AS a man grows ola.
Now l only long to be
Where the grasses wave
In sweet lullabies of rest
On my Childhood's grave.
After all, one little spot
Holds the whole of things
There the sunlight shines and
CLEANS,
There the springtide sings.
Follow oil around the world
Winnow all the skies
Right at home is every joy
Waiting for your eyes.

Then asked him what he thought

Which was the greatest one?"

He quickly answered me,
He had a little AK like mine
To chop the cherry tree"
I said, "But Lincoln he was good
And he should be adored."
The younsster shook his head and
cried:
'He didn't wear a sword"
"But Lincoln was a lawyer, too,
And always stood for right"
"He may have been lawyer, but
He never led fight"
I urged and struggled with the lad
He only shook his head
At all said in Lincoln's praise,
And then he calmly said:
"I know that Washington was
best,
He wore a soldier suit,
And when he saw an Englishman
He knew Just how to shoot.
Now Lincoln may have beer
some good
For he was president,
But don't you think a general
