Union Pacific Railway Company for
damages sustained by Frank Rother
last November, while crossing the rail-
road track on Eighth street, in Ogden.

ened BY Union Pacific switch engine
passing back and forth across the $ rect

motive came back 80 close to the wagon
as to frighten the horse and cause the
animal to jump and run. In the at

Rother was thrown to the ground and
tramped upon by the horse and run over
by the wagon, in which he sustained Sc
rious injuries and had his right knee
dislocated. He suffered for months and
is cripple for life from the effects OF
the accident. Damages laid ut 900.
