JUDGMENT IN
FORMER'S FAVOR
The court '.case, 'resulting from' an
:accident which happened on the !High-
way about one mile south of this vil
11age (Fordwich), this summer, when.
a cow, belonging; to Marshall Arm
strong, was struck and killed by a
Tar owned by George Rupple of Wal-
lace Township, carne before Judge
Lewis and a jury in Gorrie last .Fri-
day. A number of witnesses were
beard for each side'arrd the evidence
'seas conflicting, but the jury brought
in the verdict in favor of Mr. Arm-
:strong with costs, and dismissed the
defendant's counter claim,
This should prove a lesson to a
:,number of motorists, who have the
,opinion that they own the road, and
that the fanners should not use the
lmigli'aay, while driving their livestock
amndet care.
Plaintiff's Counsel pointed out, to
,the jury that although a motorist may
not be exceeding the statutory speed
limit, yet he may be considered speed-
ing, even at 10 miles an hour; under
.xircurnstances where clanger appears,
.or whre care should be exercised.
