Plaintiff Secures Verdict In Case Grow

ing Out Of Motor Accident.
Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, March 25.-The jury in the
case of William Ripkey VS.. Alfred
Hyerson returned verdict in favor OF
the plaintiff and assessed the damages
at $1,000. The court completed his in
structions and the jury was given the
case Friday evening at shortly after
o'clock and returned the verdict after
celebrating until 1880 Saturday morn
ing.
The case was long one, having
taken two full weeks for trial. Scores
Of witnesses were used and the short
hand notes in the case covered about
700 pages. The court costs in the case
will approximate close to $500 in ad-
dition to. the fees Of the attorneys.
The case arose over an automobile
and motorcycle collision on the Hulk
ley-Ames road back in November. AL
fred Ryerson was driving Ford, go
ing south, and Ripkey, motorcycle
headed north. 1t was after dark and
the cars collided.
Mrs, Anderson, Des Moines wom-
an, riding with Ryerson, was thrown
from the Ford and fatally injured.
William Ripkey's left leg was so badly
mangled that amputation was neces-
sary. Obey Van Gundy woh also was
riding on the motorcycle had his left
leg broken and Emma Ripkey, who was
in the side car of the motorcycle, was
slightly injured.
Ripkey and Van Gundy each brought
suit against Ryerson, holding that he
was responsible for the accident. Rip
key asked $4,000 and Van Gundy So
900. The jury found that Ryerson
was responsible and fixed the damages
as $1,000 in the Ripkey case. The case
Of Van Gundy will not come up for
trial until later term of court.
It is very probable that new trial
will be asked for in this case and that
if it is denied the case will be appealed
to the supreme court.
Ryerson is is we'll known farmer
living on Walnut Hill, just north OF
Midvale, while Ripkey is a farm hand
who has been working at the dairy
farm at the college and later near
Kelley.
Van Gundy and Miss Emma Ripkey
have been married since the accident
occurred.
