STOCKMAN is AWARDED
$4,000 FOR AN INJURY
Decision of Lower Court is Affirmed
in Case of Brown VS.. O.-W. II a. n.
Company-Railroad Held Respon-
sible for Not Protecting Shippers
of Stock,

Salem, Ore, Dec. 1.-THE supreme
court affirmed the decision of the cir
cult court for Baker county, award
ing p. j. Brown damages in the sum
of $4,000 against the Oregon Wash
ington Railroad & Navigation COM
pany, for personal injuries sustained
by Brown while endeavoring to load
shipment of cattle at the Baker
stockyards.
The case is of considerable interest
because the railroad company is held
responsible for not taking adequate
precaution to protect shippers while
delivering stock to the company.
1t was in April, 1911, that Brown,
with others, was loading a consgn-
ment of steers. There was no run
ming board around the top of the load
| ing pens, and in prodding the ami
mails to get them to go up the chute
to the cars Brown threw his leg over
the fence to hold himself A steer
ran into his foot, causing an injury
to his ankle.
