This is the amount of the judgment recovered by young Olson, who was. one of the boys who found and triea to explode the powder, and lost ootn arms in consequence. The decision goes at length into a discussion of the law and decisions of other courts. The judges declare there is nothing in the company's defense that the boys were trespassers and had stolen the powder and caps, but that Instead, the fact that the boys had been previously driven away should' have warned the company that the outhouse was no place to leave high exolosives and that the company s care lessness in leaving explosives there made it liable for such damages which occur. Finally, the court says the amount awarded is not excessive, in view of the terrible injuries received. " FIRE DAMAGE IS $17,000 Reward Offered for Incendiaries by Marshfield Concern.
