three tough looking men leaning up

leaped to the walk and ran away. Miss
Madge opened the door OF the vehicle
and stood screaming. She hardly realized

And then the girl found herself at the
wheel and speeding away. There was
more shouting, and perhaps some Of 1t

After Returning Verdict Rejecting

costing DoIese Bros. Pay $50 of the
Costs Of Trial.

After returning a verdict in the case
Bros, for the defendant corporation, &
large Well-to-do company, and against
Mrs. Peterson, who has very little
means, the members Of that jury to.
day presented a petition to the attor-
ney for Dolese Bros, recommending
and suggesting that the corporation
assist Mrs. Peterson to the extent Of
$3.50 in paying the costs of the case.
This action OF the jurymen is one OF
the most unusual that has ever been
taken in connection with case in the
district court. The verdict was returned
late Tuesday afternoon.
A similar incident has never occurred
in the district court. The petition was
handed to C. Fl. E. Boardman, attorney
for the corporation, this forenoon. He
thought the suggestion good one. and
will forward it to his client, probably
with his recommendation.
Plaintiff Had Large Claim.
The costs in the case will probably
amount to about $3.50. By returning a
verdict for Dolese Bros. the jury auto
natically threw the costs on Mrs. Pet
erson, who Is not able to pay them.
She brought suit for $4,000. The
claim was based on alleged damages
the quarry company had done to her
little farm Of about fifteen acres that
adjoins the quarry bl the blasting and
other quarrying operations incidental
TO taking out stone.
The company claimed it was within
its rights and stood on reservation in
the deed of the land given by the Lee
Grand Quarry Company to Cornwall
Peterson the deceased husband OF the
plaintiff. This reservation gave the
LeGrand Quarry Company the right to
Peterson.
See Land; Start Petition.
The movement to start the petition
came about as result Of an automo-
bile ride two members Of the jury took.
Tuesday evening. D. Moler, who was
foreman OF the jury. and A. e. Gickel.
another juryman, drove to Quarry, and
while there stopped at the Peterson
land. They both wondered II there was
not some way by which Mrs. Peterson
might be relieved OF at least part Of
the costs. The suggestion to formu-
late a petition and circulate it among
the jurymen followed. After inquiry
was made as to whether or not such
action would in any way prejudice the
interest of either Of the litigants and
being assured by lawyers that II would

forenoon. when jurymen reported for
duty. each of the eleven present readily
signed the petition. The twelfth jury
man had been excused. but Moler was
confident that he would have signed
