A very Interesting case ti being tried In the olronlt oourt before Judge j auoi toia weKt oemg toe caw or Ambrose vs. the Southern PaolUo Com pany for injuries sustained nolle on duty on train No. 16, near Grants Pass, about one year ago. . The publio may remember of an aooldeat ooout rlng on January 29, 1906, at Grants Pas when train No. 16 dashed into a freight train whioh was left partly standing on the aide track of tbat oity. Ambrose was a mall clerk on No. 16 and was Injured about tbe shoulders and back to suoh aa extent tbat he has been unable .to perform any servioes alnoe tbe aooldent and now sues the oompany for 830,000 damages. The oase is being tried largely on expert testimony, tbe oom pany admitting the negligenoe and oarelessness of the oompany in leav ing the oars on tbe main traok when No. 16 was due and on time,- and the question is the amount of the dama ges. . J. A. Jetfiey. at one time distriot attorney for this district, and now a resident of Portland, appears for the plaintiff and W. D. Jtt'enton, tbe regu larly employed oonnselvtor the oom pany, is the oompany's attorney. At the time when the aooldent oc curred the freight train standing on tbe main track was loaded with dyna mite, or rather there was one car of dynamite on the track, and the pas senger train oraBhed right: Into the dynamite or giant powder, but not a stioK exploded. It was a most remark able escape for the members of the oiew that escaped as well as for the oity of Grants Pass, whioh must bave been shattered to the foundation bad the carload of dynamite exploded. The battle that Is on Is one be tween physicians on the question of the Injury and the publio understands how muoh expert testimony among physiolans. differ. Ought to Have More Light It is absolutely necessary that we have more lights. No season of the year brings thiB faot out more forol bly than the one rlht now upon us.
