First of its kind Sn the history of legal jurisprudence in the United States was the action instituted by the state of Washing ton on the re'.ation of E. G. Mer chant of Spokane against the county of Spokane to recover $3000 damages for ft cold contracted while serylng as a juror in the superior court In De cember, 1907. Judge J. Stanley Web ster dismissed the jury,, which heard the evidence and arguments, and de cided for the defense. An appeal to the supreme court may follow. There was no precedence to guide the argument'. frr the reason that neither the attorneys for the com plainant nor i ounsel for the defense were able to find any record of a pre vious case where a juror had sued the county of any state, though an ex haustive search was made of the re ports of practically every state. judge ooster deciaea mat me plaintiff was not entitled to recover damages for these reasons: The stat ute of limitation had barred the ac tion in court; that there was no evi dence the cold was contracted In the rourt room and wa the cause of the ensuing sickness, and that the com plainant was not able to show there had been any negligence on the part of any one In the county's service. Merchant filed a claim for J1000 damages with the county commission ers in March, 1908. following his ser. vices In a jury case. The board re jected the claim. Suit was instituted in the Spokane county superior court the following fall, but Judge H. L. Kennan sustained a demurrer on the ground that the case was not filed within 90 days after the original claim was submitted to the county commis sioners. The plaintiff again present ed h"s claim to the commissioners, fixing the amount of damages at $5, 0000. but the court held it was vir tually the same claim.

Guiterraz de Lara, a political refugee, who was held by the federal authorities at Los An geies on complaint of the Mexican government, charged with promoting resistance to the ruie . of President Diaz, declared in a public address in Elks temple here that slavery actu ally prevails on the plantations in Mexico and that the term, "Barbar ous Mexico," is mild to one who fully understands the situation, adding: "Americans are not being persecuted in Mexico.
