After he had entered, tried and lost a suit for c arnages against the United Verde Copper Company, that corporation yesterday in instructed - structed instructed its officials to take charge of and care for Nels Olseu, the aged m-iner whose claim forslo,ooo damages was completely ignored by a jury after a half hour's de deliberation - liberation deliberation in the Superior Court Friday night. The sight depicted as Harry R. Brown, Superintendent of the United Verde welfare department, helped Olsen aboard a train for Jerome, there to have him forget his actions of the past, give him a job and take care of him in his last days, closely resembled phases of the Good Samaritan and Pro Prodigal - digal Prodigal Son tales. Olsen, who is seventy four years of age, was employed as a miner by the United Verde for a good many years. Three years prior to the time of his injury his age prompted him to accept the post of watchman. He followed this j work until he again decided to be- j come a miner. Then, it was al alleged, - leged, alleged, he was seriously injured. The mine officials offered to take care of him but Olsen went sailing on a Afferent track and started suit for SIO,OOO damages .Counsel for the defense however, pu* the i case before the jury in a fardiffer fardifferent - ent fardifferent light than was presented by Olsen and as a result the jury found its verdict in favor of the defendant within thirty minutes. . Then it was that the mine offic officials - ials officials came to the forefont enacting the role of a good Samaritan. In Instead - stead Instead of abandoning the aged old I man who was thrown upon his own resources which meant noth- ; ing, Harry R. Brown of the Em Employers - ployers Employers Welfare Department, took charge of Olsen immediately after it was all over, offered to take him back to Jerome, give him some light work and insure a livelihood in his ending days. Olsen, with tears running down his weather-beaten and wrinkled cheeks, accepted the helping hand extended him and accordingly yesterday accompanied Mr. Brown to Jerome. Attorney Leßoy An Anderson - derson Anderson who defended the exoner exonerated - ated exonerated corporation yesterday called attention to the fact that this was the first suit in ten years brought against the United Verde. In the past, the employers and corpration always managed to arrive at an agreement out of the courts. He points to the victory as a vindica vindication - tion vindication of the corpration's policy to act square with its employers at all times. The company also paid Olsen's doctor bill. - The Prescott Journal-Miner. The case of Charles Seibert vs. The Barker Construction Comp Company - any Company was abruptly terminated in the Superior uourt yesterday when O'Sullivan and Morgan, counsel for the plaintiff, moved a "non suit" without prejuiee, by the court.

The first fall went to Pollock in 9 minutes, then Lankue evened up matters by taking the second fall in 10 minutes. The third and deciding fall was won by Pollock in 8:25 minutes thereby giving him the match. Lankau weighed in at about 116 pounds while the Clarkdale boy tipped the beam at near 140 pounds. A good crowd saw the match and are loud in their praise of the clean, scientific work of the two wrestlers. Lankau is well known in Jerome.
