Important Liquor Decision Contributes to His Death
Special to the Indianapolis Journal reports Judge B. Higgins ruled that a saloon keeper cannot rely on contributory negligence when a patron becomes intoxicated and dies after a buggy accident. The Boone Circuit Court case centers on John S. Couchman of Thorntown, who died from injuries after drinking and crashing his buggy. The administrator seeks $10,000 damages, and the demurrer arguing contributory negligence was overruled. In Brazil, J N Halstead sued to void a city light contract, alleging council members were financially interested in awarding the deal to the Brazil Brewing Ice and Power Co. The vote was tied and the mayor awarded to the defendant. Terre Haute Electric Co. had also bid.
