his $4,000 salary and each member
of the supreme court of the United

There is considerable doubt, how
ever, among members of the COM
n19ttee who are attorneys, as to the
csnstitutionality OF the extension of
the federal tax on salaries Of state
officers and securities. but the at
titude Of the committee majority is
that congress should go on record

Judge DiSmiSSes
$4,000 Verdict

jamestown, N. D., Aug. S.-A
verdict rendered in district court
here last December attracted con-
siderable attention at the time be-
cause of its contradictory features,
but it has recently been settled by
Judge Nuessle of Bismarck. Charles
Cowan sued the 500 railway com
pany for damages received while he
lay upon the track in an intoxicated
condition. A witness for the plain
tiff testified that he had warned the
conductor that there was a man on
the track, before the conductor
signaled the engineer to back the
cars over the place where the plain
tiff lay. --.. y
The jury decided that the rail-
way man did not know anything
about the drunken man being on the
rails. but nevertheless assessed $17,-
600 damages against the railway.
Judge Nuessle has now decided that
the plaintiff can not recover, and has
dismissed the action. IT,
