Weideman, George Yogal, Vilas Sheldon, Jolin Schocm'akcr, Henry Miller, J. C. Lemon, William Kuntz, John Froliek, L. D. Kgeherger, W. E. Dull, Albert Despain and John Domingo. The balance of the panel were excused until Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. The case was then stated by plain tiff's attorney to be in substance this: Lorcnec Dower, a German farmer, desired to ship his property from SjH'ncer to Cedar Creek in Nebraska. His son, who seaks good English made the contract with the North western ngent at Spencer for the car to Omaha, 'the property loaded consisted of a Jersey cow, a potiy,a horse and a valuable stallion, some house hold goods and a few dozen chickens. At the time of loading in the car everything was in perfect health and 'good order, and in the same condition when the car reached Omaha. Here the son made a con tract with the Durlington for ship ment of the car to Cedar Creek, and when the Durlington received the stock it all was in perfect health. In transporting the car the son John Dower came with it and attended to watering and feeding ' the things. In transporting the car from Omaha to Cedar Creek, the ear was brought into the Pluttsmouth yards about 10 o'clock on the night of the 21st of March 1909, and pushed onto a siding north of the station where it lay until the next day. Sometime in the night John says the car received an awful bump, the impact of which threw him from his bunk landing him several feet, from where he lay. The cow was thrown down and the horses were knocked down and the furniture was strewn over the car and several of the chickens were killed. As soon as John could open the car door he did so, he saw some one, supposed to be a switchman passing. John in quired if he was gong to be killed, and the man replied that,"we did not know anything was in the car." On being shipped to Cedar Creek the next morning, the stock was taken from the car, it was found that the stallion w as skinned on one side and hip, that he could hardly go at all stumbling along and fell five or six times while going from Cedar Creek to Mr. Dower's farm which is only a few miles from town. That night the stallion died.the Jersey cow was practically ruined as well as the furniture. Mr. Clark for the defendant stated that, if the story told by the plaint id's counsel should prove true on the trial, then he would say that his clients were negligent, but that lie would show conclusively that the car arrived in the yards here about 9:50, on a mixed train, that the car occupied by plaintiff and his stock, was only the next car to the passenger coaches but one, that plaintiff was invited to unload his stock here and feed and water same, but declined to do so. That the switch engine backed up to the car while yet in the train, and attached to the passenger coaches, and pushed the car into position where plaintiff agent asked to have it set. And that no car or engine ever came in contact with the car during all of the time it sat on the siding, until it was coupled up to go to Cedar Creek, and that no claim had ever been presented to the company for adjustment, and that he would show that the stallion was not sound when loaded. The Case is being vigorous ly tried, and there is a sharp conflict in the evidence, which will give the jury some work to sift the evidence to know who is mistaken. The case will probably take two days to try. Has Watch Stolen. Mrs. Ed Drat tier, was unfortunate in having her fine gold watch stolen from her room at the Perkins house this morning.
