.Ry. SETTLES
FOR $4,000
In Maurice Quinn Case. Jury
Could Not Agree in Flax Case.
Jury Excused Until the
Twenty-sixth.

The damage suit against the Northern
Pacific on account of the death of
Quinn which happened on the
west yard crossing the afternoon of July
20. 1910. was settled out of court the
first of the week. Mrs. Quinn getting
81, 600. Stiles & Devaney, the Mime
apolis railway personal damage expert
attorneys, were present and went over
the case carefully with +. F. Murtha for
the plaintiff. w. F. Burnett represen-
ted the railway company. The settle
ment seems quite satisfactory to Mrs.
Quinn and her counsel. 1t saved big
law suit and possibly several years de-
lay in the event that jury brought in
a verdict for heavy dana ees.
1t will be remembered that Maurice
Quinn waS thrown from an auto which
Dr. Davis was driving and was caught
on the engine pilot of freight train
and his body cut in two just west OF
the crossing.
The Charles Tracey case for damages
against the railway company for smash
ine up traction engine on the Taylor
crossing. was on Thursday. Herman
Leutz appeared as intervener and was
represented by T. F. Murtha.
j. P. Cain appeared as trustee for the
estate. with the firm of Ball.
Watson & Co.. representing the N. P.
The case was nearly ready for the jury
Friday morning.
The damage case of P. H. Rumble
against the Milwaukee does not come
up until January.
Judge Crawford will excuse the jury
Saturday until the 26th.
Both of the Brookines cases were
tried, the jury bringing in small ver-
diets for plaintiff. r. H. Yaeck ap-
peared for Schnell and HeckeI and W.
f. Burnett for. Bookings.
In the D. Hughes case against O. H.
Collins, an action to recover commits
sions, the jury brought in a verdict of
$3.50 for Mr. Hughes. M. L. Mcbride
and Charles Starke appeared for Mr..
Hughes. H. j. Blanchard and W. f.
Burnett for defendant. A motion was
made 10 set the verdict aside.
In the case of Dr.. Colwill against
Lawrence Wock. an action to recover
damaae to flax crop. the jury disa-
greed. 1t was alleged that stock des-
troyed flax crop in November of 1911.
It is said that some of the Jurors want
ed $400 damage and some more and
would not compromise. H. E. Haney
and W. F. Burnett appeared for plain
dff and H. c. Berry for defendant.
Joe Gervais brought an action against
Rodney Bailey and now has possession
Df a quantity of hay which he alleged
was wronefully trying to
take. Casey & Buraeson for plaintiff
and T. F. Murtha for defendant.
ewing to the holiday season it looks
as though the states attorney election
contest would not get into court until
after the, first of January. ia
There were q number of small railway
ianase cases settled early in the week.
md the cases to be called the last Of
his week were not important.

THE HERD DLAW
C0NSTRU
Owners Must Not Willfully Allow
Stock to Destroy Neighbor's
Crops, Is Legal Opinion
Advanced.

The inability Of the farmers in sew
erall part of the state, especially in
Cavalier county, to get their grain
harvested and threshed, has given rise
TO an interesting legal question which is
likely to be threshed out in the courts
in regard to the construction of the
herd law. The point which has been
raised is whether or not the owner of
cattle which are allowed to run at
aarke are responsible for the damage
which is done by those cattle to the
Grain which is still unthreshed. States
Attorney Crimson Of Cavalier county
holds that he is.
The farmers of Cavalier county are
making last effort to get some of their
outstanding grain threshed. They are
clubbing together to do the work and
are digging the grain out of the shocks
which are covered with snow and are
threshing it as best they can. The con-
dition of the grain is not of the best
but the farmers believe that it will be
better threaded nov than if it is allow
ed to stand until spring.
But despite all the efforts which are
being put forth to continue the work
which was stopped.ey the continuous
rains of the early fall. there still are
and will remain thousands of acres of
grain which cannetSbe threshed. 1t is
this grain which has given rise to the
legal problem
The problem is one which affects not
only Cavalier county. but almost every
county in the western part of the state
for in most Of them there are thousands
of acres of grain which are in the shock
and which will be almost fetal loss
if the cattle are allowed to run at large
I all inter.-McKenzie County Chron-
icle.
In regard ito the question, Mr.. Grim
son, after considering Supreme Couzt
decision. says: This year, however,
conditions are out of the ordinary. 50
much grain in untmeshed and that it il
unthreshed is not the fault of anyone
but Of nature Itself. It cannot be helped
therefore, that the owner of such un-
threshed grain, failing to fence or en-
close it, is thereby negligent or lacking
sin ordinary precaution to protect his
property. 1t ,appearssto me further that
,any one allowing his stock to run at
large under the present extraordinary
conditions must do so'~ith the knowl-
edge and inaention that such stock will
rcause damaEe to tosomebody's unthreshed
grain. 4 In all such ceases, applying
the reasoning in the case of Eli vs.
Rosholt, believe that the owners ol
sstock will be held iliahle for damages
caused. by their stock running at large.
