Scott at 9.411 Saturday morning, for preliminary wt-rinK. to oommitteea lor tria and appeared in district court for needy tnnl at 10 o'cl-eck, when he in-iiiiru iii rvji i'-iice, He was charged with stealing $1,000 in a packet of silver in transit by tlw Dominion Express Ciminny from Winnipeg to tlr- t'nlon Bunk at Rose-town. Valcourt was recently arrested in U.S.A., ami brought to Begina to stand trial, Third Avenue, had crossed, aH he thoug-hl, lie east side of the hater street, lie then turned north, and after proceeding a short distance Was struck on lie left front wheel hy the defendant's aiiiomohile, which Has going south under the control of the defendant.

"The force of the impact was such as to throw the plaintiff out of his vehicle on to the road, wherchy lie received personal injuries, nf which the most serious was a fracture of the left femur. r'or these lie now seeks to rerover damages from the defender on tho ground of negligence. MUCH EVIDENCE evidence was adduced by each parly tit the trial In an effort to show that at the time nf the said collision his nun vehicle was wholly upon (he right Isdo of the street. Indeed, If each could he believed, tin collision should have been Impossible, us there must have been such a distance hrtwern them. It becomes my duly, iherefore, to ascertain how it notwithstanding euch discrepancy.

"line important fact stands out as common to the evidence of both that is, that when the nlaintlff was found he was lying a consider- able distance east of the centre of: lie street, while his horse wasstand- lug to Iho north, und his vehicle I kouii) or him. it sefins (o me a fslr conclusion that the plaintiff, at the spot where he was lying, whs nearer the actual point of the collision than was either his horse or lilH vehicle, since the former had moved north and the latter had been 'pushed south ns the Immediate result of it, while the plaintiff himself, owing to his injuries, was Incapable of shifting Ills position after he fell. BEEK ON RIGHT SIDE "In view of these circumstances I think that the weight of evidence Is distinctly in favor of (he plaintiff on this Issue, and that 1 must find that he was on the right side of the street. and that the defendant whs encroach- oiKiupun ii. wnen tne collision occurred.

Hut even if I did decide the above Issue the other way, think that Upon the authorities submitted bv Ihe plaintiff. I should still have to find' that the defendant wns responsible, for the collision. Both parties, It Is true, had an equal right to the use of the highway, but the defendant was operating a heavy and rapid and high-powered vehicle, us against the plaintiff's light, slow-moving one. "11 is a constant legal principle that the more dangerous the vehicle the greater is the degree of rare required of Its driver in lis use afld operation, so as to avoid the risk of injury to others upon Iho hlghwny. The time was evening, when, though il was by no means wholly dark, ct of a degree of light, which, according to ihe evidence, makes It difficult ol Ihe driver of an.

automobile to sec a hnrse-ilruwn vehicle. Such a difficulty Is not, as the defendant's counsel seemed to suggest, a proper excuse for his client's part in ibe collision, but only another reason why he should have been more careful. The defendant was approaching the Intersection of a street out of which such vehicles as the plaintiff's might very well be expected to proceed. DIDN'T SEE BUGGY "Now. it Is manifest from the evidence of the defendant himself that he was taking no particular thought of these care-demanding conditions St the time.

He simply says he did not see the defendant's vehicle, though he was looking ahead. Gracing, however, that he was, he seems nt the same time to have been paying iiii adequate rcguid lo the possible dangers of his position.

A DEADLY REPTILE v- The shows alone provide solid two hours' amusement for one IVohably one of the outstanding features of the show from the standpoint of the average Saskatoon citl-itop was "Cluing." the South American reptile which was captured here last week by employes of Northern Fruit Company while unloading a carload of bananas. The fact that the snake was raptured here is of interest to the public, hut there is Hip nflilition.i! hat it in nf 0110 of tlio ninxt poi.sonoiif pppcies. It if known ms a Highlimd Mmoasln.

The sntikc-handlers travelling with the shows, however, verify the opinions expressed by local iiuthorttles, pointing out that the bite of this reptile would be deadly. "1 dou'l Imagine Hint Mr. (Inrdliicr, who caught the snake, would have handled it quite so carelessly if he hud known how dangerous It was," Is the opinion expressed by the woman In rluirge of this show.

It was found that when both cars were operaUrtK over the whole route through the winter. months, that there was 30 per cent, more business on than on Pleasant Hill line. Then there was difficulty in that the Avenue II stub being longer would Blow up traffic -making connections. The committee recommended that 'extending the Pleasant Hill lino far- 1 a mm ther out.

Mrs. Robinson, a member of the committee, said she hud ridden on the ears ns often as i-even times In a day to count the p.is-sengers, and she concurred in the report. John Cairns was opposed to any immediate move In that direction. but agreed on the advisability if securing Information now for niter use. He recalled that he had been instrumental in connection with a farmer petition made ome years ago lo have the line extended to Avenue It had beenvagreed to by the council i nut tne Liocal viovernmeni isoara vetoed the proposition.

It was decided Hint the same committee with E. Oale added slioui 1 continue investigations on the -matter. Under present conditions it was no use to attempt to secure the extension, Dan Battersby said. They would have Alderman Priel on them declaring it would not pay. If there were a system of six tickets for 25 cents instead of four it would be too cheap to walk and the lines would pay, he said.

If the railway were not paytaig they could expect to get nothing. i elrcumslanoes of the case, in the manner I have Indicated, the defendant failed in his duty to see plaintiff, and the collision was the result ot such negligence. Johson vs. Uif-fen. 19LM.

Mr. James said he asked the chief If he could not do anything, nnd had received the reply, "Not till you get water Mcnslon up 20th Street.
