298. LATROBE BULLETIN LATROBE BULLETIN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1907. MAN GIVEN DAMAGES FOR INJURY RECEIVED At nine o'clock this morning the jury in the case of John Wagner, a civil service employee of Greensburg, vs. Ira Pollins, of the County Seat, to recover damages in the sum of 500, brought in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff sor $497. In this suit the plaintiff sought to recover sum of $2,500 for personal injuries received by him as a result of an accident caused.

by the plaintiff's horse taking fright at the fendant's automobile, which Wagner contended Pollins was driving at' high rate of speed. It seems that the plaintiff, with Walter Robinson, Charles Earnest and Edward Mechling, went for a drive out the State Road on Sunday, April 28th, and when they approached the P. Brown farm Pollins sped by in his machine, causing the plaintiff's horse to leap into the ditch, upsetting the carriage an1 having thrown out the occupants and breaking the plaintiff's leg near the ankle. Pollins contended that he was exercising due care and would have stopped bis machine had the parties signaled that their horse was unmanageable. The case WAS full of interest throughout, but the most interesting part was the charge of Judge McCou-I nell to the jury.

The act of assembly regarding automobiles was clearly explained by the jurist. Judge MeConnell said that novelty is likely to dwarf and prejudice the mind of the ordinary person. He said that automobile owners come into court the same as any other person. He said that they must show negligence before they could return a verdict against the defendant. He said the mere use of the road was not negligence, Judge McConnell then went on to explain the speed at which motor cars may run, according to the act.

In municipalities the limit is eight miles an hour and outside it la 20 miles an hour or one mile in three minutes. On curves or sharp declines it is one mile in six minutes. At no time must any person go beyond what is reasonably prudent. He said that there are certain exigencies that cannot be prescribed by an act of assembly. The cardinal directions, however, are to do what any prudent man would do under the same circumstances.

He said that sharp curves and declines must require extra care. Judge MeConnell also made plain the fact that the driver of motor car must stop when signalled by the driver of horse. A CHANGE OF OPINION REGARDING THAT GAME The question is, who put the burg Press Tribune wise as to the actual facts concerning last Saturday's game of football between a picked up team and the Pittsburg Lyceums? The account of the game in yesterday morning's Press is what one might have expected, but during the day some one must have enlightened the Tribune for it appeared last evening with a very fair account of the game, thereby considerably raising appreciation of it. The change of tune. is apparent from the two appended clippings: From the Morning Press: "The much touted Latrobe football team went down to ignominious dafeat in Pittsburg on Saturday when In post-season contest the Lyceum, Pittsburg's strongest team in years, snowed them under 33 to 0.

Latrobe people were hunting bets before the game, even offering odds that their team would win. As a consequence many a man who followed the team as a fan to the game returned to the steel town a sadder, but wiser sport. And the Latrobe team was padded, at that, the call having been sent out as soon as arrangements for the game had been completed for assistance from old time stars." From the Evening Tribune: remnant of the champion Latrobe football eleven lined up against the Lyceum team, of Pittsburg, in the Smoky City on Saturday and lost 33 to 0. Latrobe was without Its stars, Bralller, Ryan, Gibson, Sweet and Wright, and the result was looked 1 for. The regular players who were in the lineup were stiff and sore from the hard game with the Sterlings of Wilkinsburg, on Thanksgiving Day, and the team as a whole was far from being the strong aggregation which carried the red and green to so many victories.

Pittsburg papers tell of the Lyceum eleven having won the Western Pernsylvania championship, but Greensburg football fans will not accept the statement. The Steel Town team with its full strength lined up 18 a claimant for championship Saturday's game notwithstanding. The Latrobe management made a big mistake in taking a poorly-conditioned eleven to Pittsburg." ROOSEVELT'S STRONG WORDS ON FINANCIAL CONDITIONS WASHINGTON, D. Dec 3. sent to Congress this afternoon.

WARDS ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING REPRESENTATION If the residents of the Third -and Fifth wards of the borough desire to have representation in council and on the school board during the coming year, they'll have to be up and doing. It they're to make it possible to hotd primaries in their wards next January, and elestions next February, they') have to stir themselves within the present week, for this is the last week to which the court can de petitioned for the designating of polling places and the appointment of special election officers. When the redivision of the borouzh into wards was confirmed, it left the Third, Fifth and Sixta wards without polling places, the hose house on Lehmer street having been placed in the Fourth ward, instead of the Third, by the realignment, and the Fifth and Sixth wards never having had any polling places.

In order to be able to hold elections in these three wards, it will be necessary to have the court stipnlate polling place for each ward and also to appoint election officers in all cases where vacancies exist, And the court, if it is to do this, must have the matter brought to its attention, in the form of petitions, within the present week. It is understood that the residents of the Sixth ward have been and doing, and have gotten their petition already for presentation to the court. In the Third and Fifth wards, aowev. er, nothing has as yet been done, and unless some action 1 is taken within the next four days, the chances are that the wards will be unable to have ally elections in February, walch would no sult in the failure to elect six and four school directors, there being that many vacancies to be filled in two wards. Now that this matter has Been brought to the attention of the restdents it is thought that something will be done.

Whatever is done, however, will have to be done in a hurry. Doctors Are on the Run. Dither because of the over-bountifulness of Thanksgiving dinners, or because of the sudden caange in the temperature, many of the residents of the community have taken on colds, and attacks of the grippe, sufficiently serious to necessitate their staying Ir. the house. The local doctors have been on the run since last Sunday, prescribing quinine and the other doses calculated to break up colds.

The number of cases of grippe is having its effect upon the attendance at the schools, there having been noticeable falling off in the number of boys present at their desks yesterday and this morning.

railroad engineers at work around the local station has given rise to new rumors as to the intention of the company to make some material changes regarding the station. Sev. eral well defined rumors have been started, the most persistent of which is to the effect that the company intends moving the station to a' point on the L. V. R.

R. in order to get It located between the tracks. As is well known the local condi tions are not to the liking of the company. At nearly every other station along the system the company has ho arranged its stations that passengers are embarked or debarked from trains from inside the tralks, the platforms being located between the two middla tracks. This is done because the two middle tracks are the passenger tracks, the outside tracks being used for freight traffic.

At the local station, however, the platforms being outside the outer tracks it is necessary to switch the passenger trains over on to the freight tracks, the switches being 1o- cated at the tower on the west, ani at Loyalhanna on the east. This switching 18 proving to be a serious drawback to the moving of freight, on the line, it is said, and for this reason some change, by which the platforms can be put inside the tracks, has come to be regarded as necessary, It is claimed that It is impossible to so arrange things at the present site of the station to bring about this desired change, because of the narrow. ness of the company's right of WAY, and hence the rumor. that the station is to be moved to the Naturally, one cannot confirm the rumor, and It will protably be a ennsi.lerabie lengta of time before anything at all Is done as the company, is not undertaking any new Improvements just at this time. Eventually, however, It Is to be taken for granted that the company will carry out some plan where by the passenger trains may be run through the town on the regular pas senger tracks.

New Whistle 1s Installed. One of the largest whistles ever seen or heard in Latrobe, was erected at the local plant of the Pearce Manufacturing Company, yesterday.
