S.DAVIS Ground Floor Bates Bid PLATTSMOUTH Ok Orders Retrial of Lincoln Auto Damage Case Damage Recovery in Automobile Accidents Not Barred by Accept ing Invitation to Ride. Accepting an invitation to go to the city with a friend who thinks he has a better car, does not constitute embarking upon a joint enterprise and does not bar the guest from re covering damages from the friend if injured thru gros negligence while riding with him. This is what the supreme court said Friday in deter mining the case from Lancaster coun ty of Ruel Mick against Edward Oberle, while sending it back for a new trial because or an improper construction. The verdict was for $2,975. Where persons go on a trip for a common purpose or there Is a com munity of interest in the objects of the trip therecan be no recovery, but the evidence was that when the two men got to Lincoln from Eagle one went to a dance and the other to a show. On th way home Mick drove Oberle's car at his request, but when a tire blew out, Oberle grab bed the wheel' and, it was alleged, caused the car to hit a post, injuring Mick. Because the evidence lacked definiteness as to loss of earning ability and because ths court said he should be allowed damages for men tal injuries, a retrial is ordered. ! - ENJOY VISIT WITH FRIEND Murdock Store Robber Draws a Five Year Term H.

They needed rigid training to be strong for the tourna ments and battle which would come with the spring days. The monks and priests therefore laid upon all a hard rule of fasting and purging. The heavy feasts of the winter were re placed by simple fare and plenty of exercise.
