Damage Suit Decided


The jury in the Lapoint damage
suit against City Building Inspec-
tor ], M. Creighton and Contractor
Threlkeld, reached a verdict last
night just a few minutes after
MIDNIGHT. After more than one
hundred ballots had been taken
in the jury room, and the jury
had been celebrating on the case
since 10 O'Clock Friday morning.
The verdict is evenly divided be-
tween the two defendants. The
verdict returned, $4,000, evenly
between the two defendants, the
costs also being evenly assessed
between the defendants. The
case was stubborniy fou ght from
the time the case first appeared
in the court. Lapoint was work
ing upon the building now occu-
pied by the Guenthers, and he,
with three others, was injured
when the roof fell in during the
course of the construction of the
building. This occurred last fall.
Exactly two weeks from the time
the case was called fortrial, Judge
Phillips gave his charge to the
jury, from that time until mid
night last night the jury was
working hard to reach decision.
The first proposition they had to-
decide on was whether or not to
fiud for the plaintiff or for the
defendant. This being decided,
the amount of the damages was
next. and then as between the
two defendants. 1t took but a
little while after the verdict had
been reached to seal it up in an
envelope, deliver it to sheriff's
office for safe keeping, and for
the jurors to get home and to bed.
They had long, hard seige, and
appreciated the change to get to
their homes and to bed. -Arizo-
ma Republican.
This is the case we reported
last week as being so hotly con-
tested in which eight lawyers,
six on the defence and two for
the plaintiff, as follws: Clark &
Vaughn for plaintiff, Lapoint;
Armstrong & Lewis and Attor-
ney Gen'l Bullard for defendant
Wells; Alexander & Christy for
defendant, Creighton and B. E.
Marks for defendant, Threlkeld.
Plaintiffs got the full amount
asked for, $4,000; the trial of the
case ran into the thirteenth day
and is said to be the most hotly
contested case ever foughtat the
Phoenix bar; it will be re member
that the firm of Clark & Vaughn

AS TO STEEL RAILS.

Quoting an article on the tariff bill
which appeared in this paper the
Leavenworth Times says:
Now, as We understand this, the
manufacturers took the money out of
one pocket and put it into another and
then the patrons of the railroads
came in and filled up the empty pocket
again. If that is the case how was
the price of rails "a heavy handicap"
on the building of new lines? The
manufac turers of the rails didn't have
to pay US the tariff. 1t strikes us that
when they could catch them going and
coming that way they would build a
railroad whenever one could be made
useful.
The State Journal is not counting an
argument on the tariff, but the Times
must know that it is the little fellows.
and those wishing to build competing
lines that have been under "a heavy
handicap" as a result of the exorbi-
tant duty on steel rails. 1t will hardly
be disputed that Mr.. Morgan and his
partners have been in control of both
the steel trust and a number of the
big railroads.

EVENING CHAT
Rule in Conversation.
BIZ RUT0 CAMERON.

Majority Rule in Conversation.
Abraham Lincoln once said that I'M
der certain conditions, namely, IF by
the mere force of numbers a majority
clearly written constitutional right"
majority rule might work great wrong.
l am sure our great president would
nave said the same and more about
majority rule in conversation.
What is majority rule in converse
ton? Why, don't you know? That's
queer, for you have probably been the
victim or the perpetrator of it many
times. Since illustrations are usually
the best definitions, I'll define it that
way.
A group of five people had CHANGED
to come together at the home of one
of their number and are holding an
evening conversations. OF the five,
four attended a. certain college, and
one did not The talk turns to college
"reminiscences and the four become
animated and enthusiastic. Such ex-
pressionS as do you remember the
time we MY dear, HAVE you
heard about Professor *? He"
I'll never forget that night we fly
thick as hailstones about the head of
the poor unfortunate who did not at
tend that particular Alma Mater. Oc-
caSiOnally someone addresses a re-
mark to him, but for the most part
he is ignored and sits with a fixed
smile of simulated interest on his face
conversation comes back to interests
in which he has a share.
That's what ], mean by majority
rule in conversation.
Selfishness and discourtesy, even
when perpetrated with perfectly good
company, are never excusable. When
by the mere force of numbers a ma
jority completely deprives a minority
of any share in the conversation, the
majority are acting in rude, or at
least very thoughtless way, and should
be ashamed of themselves. No good
hostess will permit majority rule in
conversation. When she sees that a
part of the company is being left out
she will quickly give the conversation
some twist which will take them in.
There are almost always plenty of
subjects which will interest all the
gathering. Even if you do not have the
responsibility of hostess, when you
see that the majority is exceeding it's
rights in conversation, you will prove
yourself truly courteous by trying to
drop the exclusive subject and intro
duce one of broader interest.

COAL TO BURN.

When the total production of coal
in the United States, great as 1t is, Is
compared with the known tonnage IN
the ground it sinks into relative 1nsle-
nificance. Four recently described coal
fields in Colorado are estimated by the
Tinted States geological survey to con-
tain more than II billion tons of COAL
or three-fourths of the total amount
of coal that has been mined and lost
through mining processes in the Uni
ted States since the beginning of the
industry.
These are known as the coal fields OF
the Grand Mesa and the West Elk
Mountains, Col. They constitute parts
of the Uinta coal region, in the Rocky
Mountain province, and lie party in
west central Colorado and partly in
eastern Utah.
Because of the uncertainty in many
places as to the number of coal beds
and the still greater uncertainty as to
their variations in thickness, no close
estimate can be made of the quantity
of coal in the fields. However, a COM
putation based on moderate estimates
of thickness gives 12,17S, 2l4000 tons as
the amount of recoverable coal in the
Grand Mesa and West Elk Mountain
