OBJECT
TO NEW DECISION
Think the Supreme Court Set Bad
Precedent In Awarding Fire
Damages.

Fearing that the supreme court fixed
a rule which would be dangerous to
the interests Of railroad companies in
awarding damages to Howard L. Con-
nable, residing near Keokuk, in suit
against the Burlington route for the
burning of his barn and meadow by
means OF a spark from an engine, the
attorneys for the railroad yesterday
filed petitions for a rehearing, says the
Register and Leader. The company
claims that Connable knew Of the fire
and had plenty of time to extinguish
it but failed to do SO. thinking the rail
road would pay whatever damage re-
suited"
The courts held that Connable lie en-
titled to $500 damages for the destruo-
ton Of his property. But the road
fears this case may set a precedent SO
that other farmers seeing their prop
erty about to be destroyed may make
no effort to extinguish the flames and
will then present a bill for the dam
age to the railroad company.
According to the record, a spark
from a passing locomotive set fire ia
the dry grass Of Connable's meadow
in March 1919 Connable and his hired
man attempted TO stop the blaze and
thought they had it stamped out but
at midnight he looked from his win
dow and saw the fire still smoulderins
in an old dead tree. He went back to
