The Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1885-1886, 1885-10-02

court tuHlnke
The jury in the case OF Anderson VS.
| the Moline Plow company awarded the
plaintiff 81. 400 damages this morning
The verdict was surprise to many as it
naturally would be. The idea that man,
because in the employ of a corporation,
| should be allowed damages by reason OF
| injuries received while in such employ is
unreasonable and unjust. Too many of
| these damage suits are allowed, and the
law should protect such institutions rath>
er than rob them, as was doue In the case
in question. Such proceedings merit pros
found contempt
The case of Miller VS. Webster was
taken up in the circuit court this morn>
ing.
Another damage suit was entered for
trial at the next term of the circuit court
j. f. Oterman asking 5000 of

in claim of 81 800 for injuries claimed
to have been received on the same occa-
sion. The parties are from the Moline
bluff.
