Home Rites Set For Mrs. DeWitt After deliberating one hour and 35 minutes, a First District court jury last night awarded Fred L. Lamb a total cf $1735 in his $3000 do mage suit against Dtah-Idah- o Central Railroad company. The trial was conducted before District Judge Lewis Jones. Lamb's attorney complained that on March 21, 1938, the plaintiff was injured serious and permanently when his automobile overturned, on Logan's North Main street, alleging that the accident was caused by the bad condition of the railroad company's track. Shortly after the accident, a complaint was filed for $15,000 in the U. S. district court at Ogden, but later was dismissed. The one for less than $3000 was filed in the First District court later. Mr. Lamb, at the time of the accident, was a soldier at Fort Douglas, and was on his way to his home in Idaho. In the jury's verdict. Lamh was awarded $1200 for general damages, $536 special damages, $258 hospital and $278 dm tors' fees, the total being $1735. worn a Logan city police uniform, and his genial nature and friendship is somewhat of a In accordance with the wishes of tradition along the city thoroughmother, Mrs. H.
