one of the wealthiest corporations of the
West, and was operated in connection
with the Santa Fe railroad. The rela
tives, widows and friends of the deceased
miners have sued the coal company for
damages, claiming from $4,000 to S15,-
900 in each instance. These suits are
now pending in the Crawford County
District Court, and are being heard by
Judge West. A test was made of the
case of Thomas +. Jones, and the jury
rendered verdict in favor of the
plaintiff, fixing the damages at 50, 900.

these cases go against them it will bank
rupt the company. 1t is the most i'm
portant trial ever held in this court.
