Western Newspaper Union News Service.
WashingtOn.-In uphOlding the va
ltdity by the United States Supreme
Court of the Arkansas law, approved
February 81, 1907, assessing double
damages against railroads for killing
live stock, the Kansas City Southern
Railroad Company will have to pay a
great deal in excess of the cost for
--illing pony mare few years ago
belonging to Jacob Anderson of Ark,
ansas.
Anderson offered to accept pay
ment of $50 fer his pony, provided,
he should receive his money from the
railroad company within 80 days. The
m0ney was not paid within the speci-
fled time and the railroad company
then offered to pay $3.50 for the loss
of the pony, under certain conditions,
which were not agreed to by the own
er of the pony. The case went to a
justice of the peace and from there
reached the Arkansas Supreme Court,
which sustained the judgment of the
lower court in the sum of 500, or
double damages and s25 for attor-
ney's fees.
The Kansas City Southern succeed
ed in getting a second hearing before
the Arkansas Supreme Court and the
judgment was reaffirmed.
To test the validity of the Arkansas
law, the railroad company then; as
plaintiff in error, carried the case to
the United States Supreme Court.
That court sustained the validity of
te law by affirming the judgment of
the Arkansas Supreme Court, with |
costs.
Justices Holmes and Lamar dissent
ed from the opinion. which was
handed down by Justice McKenna. In
addition to the payment of $125 dam
ages, the railroad company will have
to pay sum even larger covering the
costs in the case.
