Majority Jury Decisions.

The following dispatch was sent
out from Minneapolis yesterday:
more than 200 attorneys OF Hen
nepin county have Endorsed a plan Of
having civil cases decided by five
sixths vote of a jury. A. B. Choate
was chairman of the meeting Of at
torneys in court room No. |, at the
courthouse, and after the vote was
directed to appoint committee of
five to urge passage of a law chang
ing the present jury plan at the next
legislature. S. R. Child spoke in ia
vor of the change, and said he would
introduce such bill in the legisla-
ture. The resolution embodying the
change was presented by George D..
Stiles and seconded by Thomas H.
Salmon. Mr.. Salmon said that near
ly every state has some such rule in
civil cases, citing Montana as state
where a tWO-thirds vote carries. The
plan is urged as a means of doing
away with present irksome disagree
ments and costly retrial of civil
actions"
A five-sixths vote for jury decisions
appeals to others than lawyers espec-
tally those who have had costly trials

go for nau ght because OF one or two
men in a group of twelve who would
not decide with the majority. Sss
Beltrami county has had many
cases which have resulted in jury dis
agreements because of the rule that
the decision must be unanimous. If
the Pioneer is correctly informed, the
jury in the ripple case, which was
the last to be tried in Bemidji, stood
nine to three on the first ballot and
later stood ten to two. Had the five
sixths rule been in effect then, a de-
cision would have been reached and
the expense of the whole trial would
not have been wasted. -.
Incidentally, such a rule would
make it a pretty hard matter to
"hang' jury.

MUSCATINE FlREMEN SHY
AT SAWDUST PILE BLAZES

Rock Island firemen, who for
years have been fighting periodical
fires in the sawdust and rafting piles
left when the old sawmills were torn
down, will be interested in the re-
fusal of the Muscatine fire depart
ment to respond to alarms of this
sort unless given special compensa-
ton for it.
"Firemen of the various South
Muscatine hose companies said
Louis Faulhaber, assistant chief of
the Muscatine department, ARE be-
coming heartily tired of fighting
sawdust pile fires, which, no sooner
than put out, break out afresh. We
will respond to all other fires, but
will refuse TO go TO any more saw
dust blazes unless other property is
endangered We must have remun-
Grafton from now on. The fires are
a public nuisance and either the
property on which they occur should
be condemned or the property own
ers should be compelled by the city
council to make it impossible for
their regular recurrence"
The lumber industry for years
was the leading one in Muscatine and
that city has a great many piles Of
lumber waste, which from time TO
time during summer break out in
flames, due TO spontaneous cOmbus-
ton.

Milwaukee has secured Its franchise
from the Chouteau cit ycouncil to
pass over one OF the most important
streets of the city. In consideration
of this grant 1t has promised the peo-
pie OF Chouteau that 1t will have its
trains running into the city within two
years. The company will have about
siNty-fve miles Of road To build to get
to Chouteau. starting from his city.
This line is though, by some to be
intended for a main line to the coast
in part. Such a line would fit in the
plan which has been exploited by the
Milwaukee. OF eventually crossing the
range from Missoula to this city.

also a shorter line for the transcon-

Coincidentally with the Milwau-
KEGS activity at Choteau. the Great
Northern road has been starting in
the direction of. the Teton county
