JENSON LOSES HIS
$4,000 VERDICT
AGAINST CAS- co.
Supreme Court ReVerSeS De-
CiSiOn of st. Joseph Circuit
Court in Damage Suit
Brought by Meter Reader.

A decision in favor of the South
Bend and Mishawaka Gas CO. was re-
turned by the state supreme court
Wednesday against James X. Jenson,
who was awarded $4,000 damages in
in the St. Joseph county circuit court
i'm September, 1911, for injuries re-
ceived while in the employ of the gas
company. Jensen sued for 1000 and
a judgment of two-fifths of that
amount was rendered in his favor, but
the case was appealed TO the higher
court and won by the defendants.
Attorneys for Jensen were John X.
Sutton of Chicago and Frank Dunna-
hoo OF South Bend. and counsel for
the gas company were w. A. McInerny
and John Yeagley.
Jensen was a meter reader for the
company during June 1910, and stop
ped one day to assist some other en-
plOyes of the concern who were
wrecking a fallen smoke stack. While
climbing up the stack. a step Of the
ladder broke, throwing him TO the
ground. He sustained the loss of an
eye, a crushed skull and several other
injuries. In filing suit he attributed
the accident TO the neglect OF the
company and his complaint was sus-
tanned in the county court
Jensen Signed Release.
According TO the gas company Jen-
sen released them from all reliability
when he accepted payment of S103.25.
Jensen alleged that when he signed
the paper he was under the impression
that they were receipts for his wages,
he having that amount due him. He
claimed that he received but 500 "at
that time" Of the amount and alleged
that the release was secured by fraud.
The supreme court held that mas
much as Jensen did not offer to return
the money he received the finding
should be for the defendant. The
court further stated that the argument
that all the money received at that
time" was $50 did not deny the allega-
ton that Jensen had received the re-
mainder OF the amount alleged to have
been paid him by the gas company.
Abstract OF Decision.
Here is the abstract of the courts
decision:
l. Where the defendant in an action
by a servant against his master for al
legged negligent injuries answered that
in consideration Of $103.25 paid by de-
fendanr to plaintiff. after the injury,
the plaintiff executed and delivered to
defendant his release in writing, a re-
ply alleging that the release was pro-
cured by representing 10 plaintiff that
it was a receipt for money due him
as wages and that he believed he was
signing a voucher for wages, and that
all the money he received cat that
time" was $50. and there was $50 due
him as wages at that time was insult
fcient on demurrer, for lack Of an
offer TO return the consideration after
the fraud was discovered and before
bringing suit.
> The averment that all the money
received at that time" was $50 does not
negative nor exclude the express al
legation that plaintiff received the
further money alleged TO have been
paid in settlement

SUMMER GIRLS FIND THE
SMILE A BEAUTY HELP

Remember you must be in style
and shed your griefs and annoyances
as you have your petticoats.
Revive that old song: "If 1 should
die tomorrow I'll wear a smile to-
night"
Be glad that La Mode has at last
decided "a smile is a woman's great
est beauty from the cradle TO the
grave"
The angels are whispering TO her, -
thinks the fond mother as her darl-
ing's rosebud mouth curls upward.
Love turks unbidden in my sweet
hearts smile" writes the lover.
Mothers smile will ease the pain, -
is the unconscious thought of the
child as he stretches out his arms to
her.
And grandmother's beautiful smile
or resignation makes heaven seem
nearer TO all who see her. for they
realize that for her it is just beyond.
Keep smiling. 1t is the latest
fashion.

ments of Daniel Murphy and

Stolen Goods.

phy. who posed as real estate
broker, was arrested today after the

glass, valuable statuary and other
costly furnishings.
Mrs Murphy. who is said to be a
school teacher, was questioned by the
police today She said she married
Murphy four years ago, and he told
her he was a real estate broker, but
she never learned where his office
was located. She said he told her
the pretty things he brought home
were either smuggled into this cOun-
try or purchased at auction sales.

said.
M. T. Ford, head OF the special

expensive handbag which Murphy
had handled disappeared. Detectives
followed Murphy to his home which
was later raided. Murphy was lock-
ed up at the detective bureau.

BAKER LEAVES
 SAN DIEGO ON HIS LONG RIDE
At Noon Today Phoenix Motorcycle Champion Put puts Out of Pacific Coast Town En Route for New York City

At noon today in the little village of San Diego, Erwin George Baker, Of Phoenix, will start something it will take him two weeks to finish, and for which he must travel over the breadth of the land. He leaves the city by the bay for 3,400 mile motorcycle ride to the corner of Broadway and 5sth street. New York City.
 It is in an attempt to beat the rec ord of Volney Davis. established in 1912 over a course from San Francisco straight east to New York that Baker is making his long journey. Davis rode a IN. S. L" Scross the continent from tide to tide in 20 days, hours and one minute.
 Baker will ride a new Indian, over a somewhat longer course, to beat the 20-day record. and to drop it as far below that mark as wind. weather and road conditions will permit
 According to motorcycle reviews. Bakers attempt is the most ambitious one of the present season. The fact N'A'At is drifting more and more into the line of endurance and economy contests, is believed to be significant of the trend of public opinion as to the benzine bat tie.
