although but one of the ~cases-that of
Charles Winburn-was ever brought
to trial. In the Winburn case, the
notice of appea is dismissed and the
judgment for 81, 600 will be paid. He
sued for So, 900.

street commissioner, was also the
most seriously injured of the five men

pending in the district court. He ask

the fire cistern explosion occurred His
widow brought an action for $40, 600
damages. This case. was tried is
months ago in the district court and

court, which recently affirm

held the gas company and city jointly
liable for the death and injury of the
Judgment in the inson case
has not as yet been paid, but the case
will likely be disposed of in a few
days.
Last winter the five cases were re-
moved to the United States district
court, where attorneys for the plain
filed motions to have the suits
remanded to the state courts. This
was recently sustained by
Judge Pollock and it had been agreed
