TRACING LOSSES BY GAS. 



The decision of the Kansas City Court 

 of Appeals in the case of Nash vs. the 

 St. Joseph Cas Co., 234 Southwestern 

 Reporter, 360, throws some light on the 

 law of cases where plants in a green- 

 house are killed under circumstances 

 warranting an assumption that the loss 

 is due to gas escaping from mains negli- 

 gently permitted by a gas distributor "to 

 remain in a leaky condition. The case 

 before the court involved a successful 

 claim for damages on account of shade 

 trees owned by the plaintifif along a 

 street line in front of his dwelling 

 house. Finding that he made out suffi- 

 ciently clear proof that the trees died 

 on account of cscajiing gas, although 

 grass growing around the trees was not 

 killed, the Court of Appeals said: 



"It is not enough that plaintiff offer 

 evidence from which it appears that the 

 trees died either because of the gas or 

 from other causes or that it is as likely 

 that they died from the one as from the 

 other. Plaintiffs have the burden of 

 proof, and, in order to recover, must 

 maintain that ImrdcMi by bringing evi- 

 dence which will incliii(> tlu^ scale to the 

 reasonal)le conrlusion that tlie trees died 

 on account of the gas instead of from 

 other causes. On the other hand, it is 

 not necessary to plaintiffs' recovery 

 that any witness should testify posi- 

 tively and unequivocally that the trees

were killed by gas; all that is necessary 

 is that the evidence be such as reason- 

 ably to justify the jury in reaching the 

 conclusion that the gas, ratluT than 

 some other cause, did it. 



"The eviflence is that gas, escaping 

 from an underground pipe, by attacking 

 the small rootlets jmt forth by the 

 larger roots, and at some distance from 

 the tree — through which tlie tree derivi's 

 sustenance from the soil — will kill the 

 tree, the length of time it takes to do 

 so being dependent upon the extent to 

 which the tree is exposed thereto. If 

 there is a sufficient amount of the gas 

 to extend to the top of the ground, it 

 will kill the grass also. But the gas 



will follow along the roots and by suffo- 

 cation of the fibrous rootlets thereof 

 will kill the tree, even though the gas 

 docs not ascend to the top of the ground 

 sufljiicnt to kill the grass." S.
