summoned, are having trouble in keep
ing the crowds orderly.
About rs convicts were in the bull
pens which We're opened by the in

secured weapons of some kind sooD
after gaining his liberty. Knives,
hammers, barrel slaves, etc, were
used by the convicts in an endeavor
to overpower the guards stationed .
inside the prison walls.

er the prison yards, many of the mu-
ineers fed back into the prison,
While others hid in the various fac
ory buildings, hoping to climb over
he walls when an opportunity pre-
ented itself

SUPREME COURT
DECISION
Orders New Trial IN Case Of
Ruehl w. lIdgervwood Tel. Co.
TRIAL COMES UP next TERM
Court Holds the Telephone Co
Negligent.

A decision has finally been
handed down by the gu upreme
court of this state in the case
of Louis Ruehl vs.. Lidgerwood
Rural Telephone Co, which de.
cision reverses the lower court
and orders new trial for plain
tiff. About a year ago this case
was tried in the district court
of Richland county and result
ed in directed verdict in favor
of the defendant company and
against the plaintiff, from
which verdict the plaintiff.
Louis Ruehl, by his attorney,
Judge Lauder, appealed to the
supreme court.
This action was prosecuted
to recover damages for the
death of minor, (plaintiff's
child) as alleged, by the wrong
full act of defendant. In the
spring of 1910 the defendant
telephone company in extend
ing it's telephone line dug
hole in plaintiffs yard in which
to insert a telephone post. Af-
ter the hole was dug the same
was left uncovered and un.
guarded and the plaintiffs
child, who was three and one.
half years old, fell into the hole
and was drowned. The gu.
preme court held that the de.
fendant company was negligent
in permitting the hole to re.
main unguarded be tore the pole
was inserted, and further held
that the question was one for
the jury and not for the court
to decide, and, consequently, as
above stated, reversed the low
er court and ordered new trial
for plaintiff. The case will
likely come up again for trial
