Of Mishawaka and the Chamber OF
Progress, was Overruled Thursday by
the county board OF review. The pc
tition asked that the assessment of
the franchise be increased from the
original valuation Of 100000. The
company objected upon the grounds
that the board had no authority to
assess the franchise under the state
laws as il was assessed in Lake coun-

quarters Of the company are located.
The board after Overruling the OBJ

the franchise from $4,000 to $4,000.
The assessor set the valuation of the
tangible property at $4,000, but the
board increased this to $4,000 in its
original review. The increase in the

BEANING Gets A
CHECK FOR $4,000
ENDING LONG SUIT
Electric Co. Pays Big Judgment
to South Bend Electrician
Case Dragged Through Seven
Trials in Four Courts.

After n nine-year fight in which MS
case was tried four times in the La
porte circuit court once in the ap-
pelIate court at indianapolis. once IN
the supreme court and once before
Judge Funk in ST. Joseph county CIR
emit court. Thomas Beaning, cleo
trlcian for the city fire and ponce
system received a check Ihursday
morning for $4,000 from the North-
ern Indiana Electric co. ana the
Home Telephone Co. for damages
sustained ten years ago.
A Judgment received by Beaning IN
the I.aporte court last month term
mated probably one OF the longest
IesaI battles ever fought in this Vlcln-
itv. The case occupied the entire at
tentiOn OF the LapOrte courts Tor
more than 100 days.
Beaning brought suit against the
electric companies as a result OF IN
iuries sustained Labor Gay of 1904.
He demanded $4,000 damages. The
case was given a preliminary hearing
before Judge Funk and the defense
demanded "A change Of venue. IL was
tried before Judge Richter of Laporte
i'm 1906. The jury failed TO agree. IN
1907 IL was again tried before the
same judge and the case was decided
against Beaning. In this trial attOr-
=
days.
II was then carried 10 the appellate
court where the decision given by the
I.apOrte county court was reversed.
Atty. Gallaher of LapOrte was then
handling the case for Beaning and he
was elected judge before the case
came up for trial again His election
necessitated the appointment OF a
special judge, Judge Harry b. Tut
hill Of Michigan City being named.
Jury Disagrees.
In this case the jury disagreed. In
1912 the case was tried for the last
t'me in LapOTte. Bcaning getting a
Judgment for IS, and costs The
defense appealed the case To the SUI
preme court and May of this year
that court affirmed the decision of the
Laporte court.
The case has involved the best legal
talent in northern Indiana. Attys. Os-
born and McVey of LapOrte handled
the matter for Beaning following
Gallagher's election to the judgeship
Graham, CrabilI, Drummond and for
a time Meyers and Parker as well as
a number of others figured in the
case for the defense.
Beaning was seriously injured in
the accident that brought about the
suit. He was working at the top Of
his hand came in contact with a live
Wire and ne was severely burned and
thrown more than 30 feet to the
ground. He sustained injured hands
as a result Of the accident.
