WASHINGTON co. REscRIPT
Handed Down by Law court-over.
rules Defendants Motion for New
Trial in Case Of Smith vs.. Hines
Director General of Railroads


rules Defendants Motion for New
Trial in Case Of Smith vs.. Hines,
Director General Of Railroads
A rescript was handed down by
the law court Saturday in the WASH
ington county case of William j.
Smith VS.. Walker D. Hines, director
general of railroads, overruling the
motion of the defendant for a new
trial.
The rescript, which was drawn by
Associate Justice George NJ. Hanson
of Calais. is as follows:
This action is brought under the
Federal Employers Liability Act Of
April %, 1908, 35 U. S. st. IS, C. 149,
U. S. Comp st. secs S657-8665, to re-
cover for injuries while employed by
defendant as freight conductor.
The jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for $S.45466. and the case Is
before the court on the defendants
general motion for a new trial.
HELD:
]. The record shows, and the Jury
was fully justified in finding, that the
speed attained by the engine and
sustained until the instant Of impact
was at least ten miles an hour; that
no effort was made by the engineer
to apply the brakes until the moving
car was within from six to ten feet
OF standing cars. That the impact
was violent, every witness, including
the engineer, say the cars came to-
gether with a crash. And as to the
action of the brakes, a finding that
the brakes did respond and act would
be justified. for the Shaking and
Stating" of the car can be explained
upon no other theory.
2. A careful review Of the evidence
fails to satisfy us that the plaintiff
was negligent in placing himself
where he was. and doing what he did
when injured. And as to defendants
contention that the plaintiff assum-
ed all the risk Of the particular dan
ger which caused the damage to him,
it is the opinion of the court that the
plaintiff did not assume the risk.
That he did assume the ordinary
risks of his employment, and too
that he assumed the extraordinary
esAAA NAuCdoi "hICH dT0 Cd.
vious, and risks of which he knew
and which he appreciated, is well
settled. But the circumstances of
this case place it in a class far re-
moved from the ordinary happen
ing, and one in which, If cases do oc-
cur, they seldom reach courts of last
resort.
8. The settled rule is, not that it
is the duty Of an employee to exer.
else care to discover extraordinary
dangers that may arise from the neg
ligence of the owner or Of those for
whose conduct the employer is re-
sponsible. but that the employee may
assume that the employer. or his
agents, have exercised proper care
with respect to his safety until noti-
fled to the contrary. unless the want
of care and the danger arising from
it are so obvious that an ordinarily
careful person, under the circum-
stances would observe and appreci-
ate them.
Motion oNerruled.

SALMON FISHING SPORT
 DESCRIBED TO ROTARIANs

Archibald Mitchell, Jr, speaking to the members of the Norwich Rotary club, whose guest he was at the monday luncheon on Wednesday at the Wauregan house, told of the joys and disappoint- ments of salmon fishing in the Restigou- che river in New Brunswick, where his father has salmon preserve. Mir. Mitchell said that while there is an abundance ot the fish it is not always possible to land one and he, himself, on his first trip to the fishing grounds f1shed for ten days before landing one of the beauties.
 MT. Mitchell told of the habits of the fish saying that some inhabited waters near the mouth of rivers others being l found further up and still others a con | siderable distance inland. An experienced l salmon fisherman can tell at glance l from what part of the rivers a salmon is caught by simply noting the markings l on the body. At spawning time the fish come up the rivers to lay their eggs and l after the matching the fngerlings. or young fish, stay aroundTthe spawning | grounds for a time and then depart for f the sea. In their trip down the river to the sea they take on weight rapidly and ! in a short time return weighing from 5 to pounds each. A salmon always
 returns to the ground where it was spawned. A peculiar thing is that sal HAOH COullHS up the TlN6E lO spdMH uO'1 not eat anything until after the eggs
 are laid but they will take fly. 14

 In casting for the salmon cast of l
