COBB HAPPY OVER
 COURT VICTORIES

Judge J. H. Cobb returned from the Westward this morning after an ab- sence of over a month He was wear ing a smile that at once proclaims him one of the happiest men in the city. "I am feeling fine, he said. "and per fectly content over the results ob- tained in the damage cases which l have just tried" The judge has just won two very important personal dam age suits against the Copper River & Northwestern Railway company, the verdicts combined aggregating the sum of $25,OOO. A verdict of $20,OOO, double the previous largest verdict of this kind, was obtained for the widow of J. F. Reed, the rotary engineer, who was killed during the winter of 1911, when his rotary plunged through a bridge that had been burned. The sec ond verdict for $5,OOO was for Daniel S. Reeder, who had a leg broken in one of the tunnels of the c. R. & N. railway.
 The juries trying these cases, Judge Cobb thinks, exercised great deal of judgent and conscientious effort in arriving at the verdicts that have been obtained. They did not hesitate to ask questions of witnesses in or. der to get at the truth of things on such points as were overlooked by counsel.
 Judd Cobb expressed a lively inter. est in the confirmation of Judge Jen, nings and Governor Strong. He said that he was glad to get home and see what Juneau had been doing.
