canada pond brmiil llcenso no hij7fl m mmmmiirl every boaue in the little town of ar- deola had been wiped out by a great conflagration tlint a village so in significant could be visited by a catas trophe of sufficient magnitude to war rant an application of the word con flagration nay aeem paradoxical but in view of the fact that every splinter of its tlilrtynlne buildings was con sumed in rlie blase no other won would nl therefore the newspapers of west- valla chronicled the fire that wiped out its little neighbor across the river as a great conflagration the facts although given in painful detail in toe columns of the preas the day after tt tin were brought ont more entertainingly daring the legal prpceedlnga that followed several months later the people of the late ardeola blamed he osage valley railroad for the calamity and they were so firmly convinced that the soulless corpora tion wai the cause 6f their loss that thirtyeight or them brought suit against the railroad the one ez- honw owner who did not seek redress at the bands of the court was john lester although bis home was among the first to go lester was s lawyer and had been referred to by the press on several occasion aa promising the other thirtyeight loters intrusted their case to him and in order that be might go into the battle as the legal repre sentative of the people with no inter ests other than those assumed in that capacity ha entered no claim against the railroad it waa a vary generous act indeed considering that the people he repre sented having lost their all could pay no retainer in fact the amount he could recover if any at all being en tirely problematical no promises of compensation were given tbat it was to be s bitterfight was evident the null road company not satisfied to let its legal representative at westvallat defend it sent down three of the shining- lights of the law department to assist him they were on the ground the second day after the thirtyeight petitions were filed whipping their case into shape for trial the thirtyeight petitions were iden tical with the exception of the name of the petitioner and they set forth that the osage valley railroad owned a bridge extending across the grand river from westvalla to ardeola the said bridge being a drawbridge and the ssld draw being operated and con trolled by employees of the said rail road company on the day of the are in fact at practically trie instant the fire start ed the draw of the bridge having been opened toy employees of the rail road company to mlowtbe passage of a tugboat tlam pwold by the said eon- pony became clogged and- by reason of the sam csofglng of the said draw the nreflghtlni apparatus from west valla wis delayed in reaching the scene of the tire the bridge belng the only means of communication befveen the two towna and furthermore that by reason of the abovementioned da isy the fir gained such headway that the westvalla lire department was un able to check it wnupon tae facts set forth in petitions that tits homeless inhabi tants of ardeola hoped to recover the first move of the railroads attor neys was to swore a consolidation of the petition agreeing to pay full dam ages in each individual case if they lost the cue that went to trial when latter agreed to mat propo sition the petitioners became uneasy lest they had mad a mistake in in trusting tbetr cases to the young man and when be called onlytwo wit nesses one jltlntlff to establish the fact thst the lire had occurred and the driver of the fire engwe to prove that the open draw had caused con siderable dejayand then rested his case a majority of hem were quite sure that uuyy had made ii mistake the rallroaal attorneys were tacen off their fntbruster procedure their oxpactfoltv tee the- entire nieoa- bershlp of tacb jfrthehwyreljhtaips tiles on thiitaud rbutthsy recevsred quickly and batgia calling witnesses r the onlr point they mgdo was that the draw opew only flvemibnti the

uad counted not s little on testers argument to the jury andthey knew that it took him more than five mlat utssto get warmed up s mr stanebury was selected by the railroad attorneys to do their talking and he devoted bis five minutes to driving home the fact that the draw had been open only five mlnntaa and that five minutes was too abort a time for tbe lire to gain enough headway to be beyond the control of the ire di partment therefore the total destructlen sf tbe town must have been doe to ether causes with which the railroad cosi- psuy had no connection though ahortj it waa a splendid argumentdelivered h fttanhniwfc mmf mntlnh iimml oer mlnda of tbe jury while the railroad lawyers wort cos- gratulating their orator the eyes of the petitioners were on lester it was his turn to talk sunsbwrys mstterful argument would be picked to pieces and me laurels dragged in the dust lester rose from bis seat and with the customary if the court please and gentlemen of the jury ha ad- dressed them from his place at the table my friend of the other side with eloquence that would move an image of atone has convinced yon that the draw of their bridge waa open only five minutes and that in that abort time the are could not have gained euffldent headway to be beyond the control of the fire department when it finally reached the scene will ens of yon gentlemen kindly take eat his watch 1 the juror on the left end of the flrat raw produced a large allver time piece mew continued lester will you madly call time when my five mlnutee is up ha parted the tails of his prince albert and sat down the petitioners were psnlcstrlcken was the man mad he wss waatlng valuable time why didnt he pitch into stanaburya argument and tear it into shreds as be did the argument in the debate last year why didnt he say something but leatar settled himself comfortably in his chair closed his eyes and idly twirled his thumba the juror holding the watch low ered his hand to rest in en bis knee and the court crossed and recrossed its legs the railroad lawyers wars nettled they scented danger and put their heads together for a whispered consultation the other jurors craned their necks to see the watch the juror beldlng it looked it p the face with a puisled expression on bfa own then he put it to bis ear to see if it was runnlag the judge uncrossed bis legs anj tilted back in bis chair and lester continued to twirl his thumbs the silence became oppressive all eyes except lesters and the timing jurors were fixed on the big dock over the bench surely the jurors watch must have stopped he examined the secondhand closely to satisfy mmseu that it was turning it was moving hat so slewly that he thonght the watch mutt be runnlag down he wound it industriously and th noise magnified by the deep silence of the room resembled the clattering ratchet on a slaekingoff windlass the spectators began to get fidgety pierc ing the silence with heavy ilfhs narv one cougni and much noseblowing finally the juror called time and the court led a concert of sighs like escaping ateam letter cane teals feet now gentlemen he remarked dry ly you know how long the draw was open it li for you to decide whether or not five minutes was- long enough for the ore to get beyond control jnconsildarably less than another five minutes the jury was in with verdict for the plaintiff swarding ev
