Decision of Judge Comstock Is
Upheld In WatonWan
County Case

The supreme coufc yesterday sus-
tanned the decision |of Judge w. L.
Comstock in the Watonwan county
district court in thelcase of the Home
Insurance company against the Chi
cago, st. Paul. Minneapolis and
Omaha Railway company. The Farm
ers Grain company elevator at st.
James was destroyed by fire during
the month OF May, 1918. This build
ing was insured by the Home Insur-
ance company, whieh paid the loss to
the Farmers Grain company, but
held that the fire was caused by neg
ligence of the railway company
whose engine had set fire to the
building from sparks from the smoke
stack. In the actipn of the case in the
Watonwan county district court, in
which the insurance company en-
deavored to recover from the railway
company, the jury found for the de-
PENDANT railway company. Then the
insurance company made motion for
new trial, but this was denied by
Judge Comstock and the supreme
court upholds HIS decision. The case
involved about $4,000.
