LAwvER's UNIQUE ARGUMENT.
Declares No Man Can Justly Collect
5000 For Loss OF Finger.


DUBUQUE, Oct. ?A.-"Statistics provc
thai II all the property real and per-
sonal. IN the world. were divided equal
~ among the Inhabitants OF the earth,
each individuals share would be only
about $4,000. Therefore. your Honor.
Il Is preposterous for a jury in this
court to award a man $4,000 because
he lost the first joint OF his little
finger
This was one OF the unique reasons
advanced by Attorney F. II. Helseli OF
Fort Dodge. In arguing before Judge
Mullan a motion for a new trial IN the
case OF Bryham against the Illinois
, Central. In which the jury awarded the
plantiff $4,000.
Brigham was a fireman who had
two fingers crushed In turn table
at Dubuque. Helsell asked that the
verdict be set aside for the reason
that the award was beyond reason and
because Bryham was not engaged In
the work he was hired to do when he
was injured. During the course Of his
argument the attorney declared that
the courts instructions were useless so
far as the comprehension OF the jury
was concerned.
Attorney Sullivan. representing the
plaintiff, replied that never in his
twenty-seven years as n member OF
the bar had he heard more compre-
hensive or able instructions than those
of Judge Mullan. He called attention
to a rule In the book OF rules of the
railroad company which he said made
it Bryhams duty to do the work he
was doing when he was injured.

In this way the late General James
Watson Webb began the narration
to some of his friends in this city
of an incident that occurred while
he was at Paris in 1874.
General Webb was almost as fami-
liar with Paris as he was with New
York or Chicago. He was a warm
personal friend of the Emperor Louis
Napoleon, for he had befriended Ma
poleon when the future emperor was
living from hand to mouth in New
York city. 1t was General Webb
who was the bearer of a confidential
message from Louis Napoleon TO
President Lincoln. in 1864. in which
the President was assured that as
soon as it could be done without
humiliation the French army would
be withdrawn from Mexico.
Il was wandering around the
streets of Paris" continued General
Webb. trying to recall locations with
which l had been familiar when |
lived in the city during the empire
when 1 suddenly recognized a gentle
man with whom I had had important
business relations forty years earlier.
called him by name and he recog-
nized me at once.
81 asked him if he remembered my
purchase of a parcel of land near
Fort Dearborn, ILL.,, in the year 1884.
He told me he remembered the cir
cumstance well. l ought before pre-
ceding to the point of my narrative
to tell you something about Fort
Dearborn as l knew it. l was sta
toned there at the fort as post ad-
jutant. When I went there there
wasn't any house to be seen, for in
fact none had been built in that
vicinity. At that time every one
thought that ST. Louis and Cincin-
natl were to be the chief commercial
centres OF the West. Nobody
dreamed of such thing as the city
of Chicago.
"Along toward the last of my resi-
dence at Fort Dearborn was mar
ried. About that time the first ad-
venturers began to forecast the crea-
ton of a city. l was advised that il

Their feeling toward him, says Tas-
SOS modern biographer, was much
the same as what a slightly faded
virgin of social distinction is wont to
exhibit toward a pet eurate." They
furthered his interests among the in
fluential men and women of their
acquaintance and in return for this
interest Tasso was ready at their
request to turn his facile pen to ac-
count in praise of their beauty and
goodness.
Leanora, especially, figured in these
poetical effusions. She was very de-
vout and led quiet secluded life
of an invalid She was much be-
loved by the humble folk of her
brothers domains. She belonged 10
one of the most influential families
of the day, and it was only natural
that a dependent young poet like
Tasso should celebrate her goodness
and virtue in his poems-and only
natural, too, that there should have
sprung up about the personality of
Leanora a maze of romantic fiction.
