SUING RAILROADS..
One Case Each for Damages Against IL
Northern Pacific and Montana Central.

One Case Each for Damages Against the
Northern Pacific and Montana Central.
A man whose name his attorney would
not divulge, has brought suit against the
Montana Central railway company for dam
ages in the sum Of $3.50. This is to sat
isfy wounded feelings, damage to health
and for other loss alleged to be due to the
neglect of the company. The gentleman
relates a tale Of woe that readily appealed
to the sympathies of his attorney who took
his case. In the first place he
has but one leg, but by an
artificial adjunct he can walk. His wife
was in Butte while he was in Helena and
she was to start upon a certain morning
for st. Paul. Upon the date in question
theh husband concluded to take the local
train. get off at Montana City, there join
his wife and ride to Helena with her. He
had important business matters to talk over
and wanted to kiss her good bye.
He secured a round trip ticket and was
told, he said, that the section agent would
flag the Atlantic express for him where he
could board the train n re-
got off and waited for the
through train which was duly tagged, but
it did not stop. The result was that the
man was very mad. walked the ten miles
back to Helena, caught a cold, was laid uE
several weeks and did not get to see his
wife and he feels that his feelings nave
been wounded. and important business
matters were neglected, all to the extent Of
1920.
II is understood that a travelling mer.
chant has brought Il suit for damage,
against tho Northern Pacific. 1t il
said that Conductor Thos. Laughlir
put the passenger off the train. think
ing that the ticket he presented was not
FOOD one. 1t Is understood, in the mean
time, however. that the ticket has been in.
~yes.igated ard proves to be all right. On
the strength of this. it was reported las
night that Mr.. A. ID. Edgar. the ~company's
general passenger agent at this point, rec.
commended to the general Office a settlemen
with the travelling man on a basis o
$1,000.
The news did not get out until last night
, too late to learn the conductors story @
the affair. He left in the evening on hi
regular run.

warm up public sentiment in that direc-

it cannot cooperate in this movement.
1t is already pledged to Great Falls.
That city has a greater water power than
the Minnesota town, 10 room out OF

agricultural college, the state university,
the deaf and dumb asylum and the state
capital. Minneapolis, in our opinion, is

TRAMP PRINTER TO SENATOR,

Springfield Journal - Senator Hans
brough, OF North Dakota. WAS once a tramp
printer. He finally struck a fiat take"
and has been working off one hook steadily
for many years, and to some purpose.
Knoxville Tribune-Hansbrough, the sen
ator-elect from Dakota, was twelve Years
ago a tramp printer, according to the broth
or typo from whom he borrowed tobacco
and stole a shirt as they iourneyed west to-
gether by the overland route.
Atlanta Constitutional is said that
twelve years ago Hansbrough, the senator
elect from Dakota, WAS n tramp printer with
only one shirt. We believe the tramp print
er would get there oftener if he would re-
fuse to uncork the bottle he carries in his
pocket.
Boston Herald-Twelvs years ago Sena-
tOr-elect Hansbrough. of North Dakota,
WAS a tramp printer and had only one shirt.
He subsequently became a newspaper pro-
prietor and bought another shirt. Then he
got elected as 4 territorial delegate to con-
Rress and finally q United States senator.
This latest distinction necessarily involves
his investing in a pair OF pantaloops at
least.
Savannah News-There 10 no occasion for
tramp printers to despair. Senator elect
Hansbrough. Of North Dakota, was a tramp
printer twelve years ago, and he was SO
poor that whenever his shirt needed wash.
ing he had to stay in bed for q day. liz has
several shirts now and has his eye on the
presidency. He would never have achieved
the distinction no has had he been friendi,
with join Barleycorn.
New Orleans Deita-Senator-elect Hans
brough, of North Dakota, WAS a tram
printer twelve years ago, with only oil
shirt to his back, and it would be well 70
the craft to bear this in mind and brac
up. II il seldom that a tramp printer eve
becomes a distinguished man, in spite O
his intelligence, because his chief enjoy
msnt seems to be to get on the outside of a
much whisky 10 his cash and circumstance
will permit.
