Jury Term0
District Court


The jury term of District Court
in Richland County ended Friday
with decisions in two cases. Due
to illness in the family of Judge
F. S. P. Foss, the final case was
completed by Judge Loucks of
Wolf Point.
In the case of Thomas Gibbs
against Vincent Roller, a verdict
for damages in the sum of &c.
219.38 was rendered for the plain
tiff. The suit grew out of a fatal
highway accident, south of Sid
ney in the late fall of 1855. Charles
Roller, brother and partner of the
defendant, died Of injuries he re-
ceived when he was pinned be-
tween the rear of a pickup truck
he had been driving and a car in
which Gibbs was a passenger.
Evidence brought out that
Charles Roller had halted his truck
on the highway at night to adjust
the tailgate of the truck, which
held several cattle. The truck
was improperly lighted, and could
not be seen by the driver of the
approaching car. In the crash
Gibbs received a fractured knee
and sued Vincent Roller as the
partner of his deceased brother.
In another automobile injury
here, Mathew Dasinger Sr.,
against Cora Inglis Anderson, a
verdict was handed down for the
plaintiff amounting to $1,365.25
for injuries to an arm received
when struck by a "a driven by
Mrs. Anderson, at a Sidney street
intersection.
Several other cases including
those of Gordon Friberg and Rom
aid Friberg against the Great
Northern Railway Co., and Justin
Souhalce against Mitchell Guesen-
buru were set over until next
term of court. Two cases were
for want of prosecu-
ton and other cases on the cal
endar were settled out of court

voters for their support and that
he would enter into his new po-
sition Fundamentally and do his
best in serving the needs of the

ments as to policy or new projects
until such time as he is able to
meet with his new council; how
ever, he says that "the duties of
the mayor and of the city council

lens, coming under our jurisdic-
ton, to discuss them with either

checked the address of the IL
member board and found that
seven are concentrated in the
Baltimore city area. one from
Washington. D. c., one from Col
lege Park, one from Cumber-
land. and one from HagerStown.
The Board of Regents also
serves as the State Board of
