JURY IN NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD CASE WRANGLES MANY HOURS.

After a fight of fifteen hours in the jury room a compromise verdict of SSO was reached in the suit for damages brought by Mrs. Mary Moran, formerly of Goodland but now of Monticello, against the New York Central Railroad company. The case had been bitterly fought by the attorneys on both sides and there was much conflicting evidence. Three day? were consumed by the attorneys in getting th,e case to the jury. The jury retired at 10:00 a. m. Tuesday and did not agree on a verdict until 12:30 this Wednesday morning. The suit grew out of an accident at Kentland on December 27, 1913, in which the automobile in which the plaintiff, Mrs. Mary Moran, was riding and which was hit by a New York Central train. Mrs. Moran had her shoulder very severely injured and brought suit against the railroad company for $5,000. _ , ' , Attorney John A. Dunlap, _ who was the attorney for the plaintiff, handled his case in a masterly way and by many who heard the evidence it was thought that he had made out a good case. The attorneys for the defendant railroad were hard fighters and fought every point in the case. They were Attorney Abraham Halleck, of this city, and Schuyler Hubbell, of South Bend. The greatest conflict in the evidence was the testimony of the physician in reference to the injury sustained by Mrs. Moran.. The physicians for Mrs. Moran contended that she was permanently injured, while those representing the railroad contended that the injury was quite insignificant. The small award representing a compromise after a long fight in the jury room is not satisfactory to the plaintiff and the case will undoubtedly be appealed by them to the supreme court. It is understood that the railroad had made a somewhat liberal offer in settlement, which the plaintiff had refused, feeling, it is said, that the amount named in the complaint was none too large.

The highest point reached throughout the twenty-four hours ending this morning was thirty degrees.

KADAR GETS VERDICT FOR $73.

Judge Charles W. Hanley heard the case of Kadar vs. Collins Tuesday and gave Kadar a verdict for $73. Charles Kadar had used his gram binder in harvesting the wheat and oats of his neighbor, Ray Collins, last summer. Both parties lived in the Gifford region. A dispute arose as to the agreed price for cutting per acre a.id also as to the number ot acres cut. Collins contended that Kadar had agreed to cut his grain for SI.OO per acre and Kadar said the agreement was $2.00 per acre. A large number of witnesses were heard and a verdict as above recited was rendered by Judge Hanley, j The verdict carries with it the costs, which will make Mr. Collins’ bill pretty large.

WATCH YOUR BATTERY!

Nine out of ten starting batteries are badly overworked after cold weather sets in. This strain of .starting cold motors is not injurious to a properly and fully charged battery, but is “poison” to the underfed or undercharged. Our charging facilities are perfect and instead of just giving your battery a “boost” (towards the junk pile) we give it a long freshening and invigorating charge and balance the cells so that all work evenly. As the weather grows colder, remember your battery. It may be m danger of freezing. In case you lay the car up for the winter, we are properly prepared to care for the battery. Let us explain how our dry storage method really saves you money. While we’re explaining we’ll have your battery-filled and tested. For expert battery service head for the Rensselaer Electric Co.

SKELETON OF INDIAN GIRL FOUND UNDER STORE.

The skeleton of an Indian girl, unearthed at Baum’s Bridge on the Kankakee river, has been taken to Valparaiso by Carl Black, a relic hunter, who received it as a gift from James Collier, who was excavating under his store building for a basement when his spade struck the bones. Nearly one hundred fine white shell beads were found near where the skeleton lay. The bones were in an excellent state of preservation. The man that beats up his wife every, evening may have a good excuse in his own mind. But there is no excuse for the man that lets his wife beat him up every morning. He’s, less ambitious than a miner—as Useless as a coal wagon. The man who needs his car in the winter (and that includes everybody) has little excuse for not looking into the labor and moneysaving proposition offered in the Franklin car. Carlisle has heard from—but still the stills are still. THOMPSON & KIRK.

William Desmond, as a clergyman working in the slums/of ban Francisco, in the new Triangle-Kay Bee drama, A Gamble ifa Souls, preaches the doctrine of turning the other cheek and when a big husky wallops him on the jaw he makes good by turning the other chsek and going down again.

Miss Dalton’s last previous appearance was as star of “The Jungle Child,” in which she came from a primeval fastness to New York.
