NOMINAL DAMAGES IN
 PERSONAL INJURY CASE

On Wednesday afternoon last the case of s. Taroin against Riley X Stetzer was tried before Judge Abrecht and jury consisting of Si Atwel H. Boas, E. J. Smith, J. c. Wilson, B. J. Banks and Vic tor Wolfe.
 The plaintiffs case was based on an in- jury received by him in being struck by bucket while working for the defendants He was badly cut about the legs, and claimed that he was rendered incapable of work for a period of twelve days, and that he was therefore entitled to what his wages for those twelve days would amount to-, namely, SIP, he admitting that he received his board from the defendants during the time he was unable to work. He also asked for additional damages in the sum of $500 to compensate him for the pain and agony he endured on account of the injuries sus tained
 The defendants denied that they were responsible for the accident, but that the same was due to the plaintiff failing to fol low out the instructions and warnings given him.
 The plaintiff had as witnesses besides himself a fellow workman, who was close to him at the time of the accident. After these two witnesses had testified, and after slight delay, the plaintiff abruptly closed his case. The defendant put in no evidence and the jury after listening to the argu- ment of W. F. Harrison for plaintiff and E. M. Stanton for defendants, retired to con sider their verdict. About an hour later they rendered verdict for the plaintiff and assessed his damages at S1. This verdict carried with it the costs of the action, which were taxed by the judge at S122.95, including an SS5 attorneys fee, making the total judgment in favor of Taroin S123.95.
 The defendants have indicated that it is their intention to appeal to the district court.
 It was later reported that the abrupt closing of the case by the plaintiff was due to the fact that one of his witnesses showed up in such condition that to have attempted to swear him as witness would in all probability have resulted merely in landing him in jail for contempt of court. The excitement of the city apparently was too much for him.

JOHN CLARK
 MAY BE LOST

Much uneasiness has been felt by friends in Iditarod of John Clark, who left here early in August for Ophir with another man, whose name is unknown, and has not since been heard of The object of MT. Clark's visit to Ophr was to help convoy herd of cattle from that place for the local market.
 Early this spring a herd of cattle was driven into the Chisana country, with the expectation of finding a market there for them. Finding no purchasers for the ani- mals there they were driven to the Yukon in the hope of disposng of them At Tan ana the owner of the cattle died. and his son left with the remains for the Outside The cattle were driven to Ruby, and John Clark, well known in this city, where he at one time conducted tin shop, was ap- pointed administrator of the estate. The cattle were sent from Ruby to Ophir, and from that place were to have been brought to Idltarod. They were in charge of a man named Waechter, who was accompanied by another white man and an Indian guide. MT. Clark and companion came to ldltarod from Ruby in a launch and started from here to Ophlr, expecting to meet the cattle at that point and accompany them here, Neither man knew the country, and it IS feared that they may have been lost or that disaster in some form has overtaken them The launch in which they arrived is still tied up here.
 Deputy Marshal Harry Sheppard who left here on Wednesday last for his station at Ophir, intends to make an investigation of the matter. It is thought that the men have had ample time to make the return journey but they have not even been heard from along the trail.

The case of M H. Marston vs. Tony Let nes Louis Wig and Oscar Olson was on trial before Commissioner Alorecht on Thursday last, and resulted ln a verdict for defendants.
