and $500 in money, and papers valued

Faulkner and Botcler in their JOINT

Mrs. S. w. Bradford, the widow of
the postal clerk who was recently
burned in the accident near Grafton,
West Virginia, has brought suit against
the railroad company, claiming DANA
ges to the amount of 100000. This
suit raises the interesting legal question
whether a railroad company is liable in
such cases. The postal clerks do not
pay for their transportation, nor do the
railroad companies receive pay from
the Government for carrying the clerks.
The only compensation now allowed
the railroads is so much per pound of
mail matter per mile run.

the part of leading lady in the play, and
