On the first day of last August the eve
ming mail train from the north ran over
man known in these parts as CDR" j. w
Alexander near the coal shute North o
the old depot. He was said to be intoxi
Gated at the time, and was without friend
or visible means of support. Upon in
structions from the railroad authoritie
Capt. Douthatt, the local agent, tool
steps to make the man cOmfortabe ant
provided surgical attention. He arranged
with Mr.. A. Feuchtenberger, who keep
a boarding house on North Main street
to have Alexander taken to his house, are
agreed to pay SLIGO per day for his bOart
and 1926 day for nursing. The crush
cd limb was amputated by DIR. c. w
| Holingsworth, at the request of DR.
Amiss, the cOmpany's physician. Thu
patient did fairly well, and on the 10th o
September Capt Douthatt paid Mr.
Feuchtenberger $3.50, the amount of BIZ
bill to that date, and notified him tina
the railroad company would no longer b.
responsible for Alexander's board or nurs
| ing. Efforts were made but withOu
success to get Alexander into the corpora
ton and county poor houses. His con
dition was such as to prevent Mr.. Feuch
tenberger from sending him adrift, an'
be kept him until January ;. when he pu
him in a buggy and sent him to Mr. j. W
Minnlch, at Dale Enterprise, the oversee
of the poor for Central district, who il
turn sent him to the county poor house
where he still remains.

sented bill against the b. x o. railroad
company for $3il.75 for Alexander's board
nursing and attention at the rate of So 2
a day up to Nov ~ and 50 100 day from
that time until January when he VS.
relieved of the doctors" presence. Tn,
company refused to settle the bill, claim
ing that it had been relieved Of further
liability by its notice to Fenchtenberger
| in September. Suit was brought through
Strayer and Liggett, and the case wa
heard in the circuit court last Friday
| Plaintiffs counsel claimed that the rail
road company had put the man on theii
clients hands, and inasmuch as the testI
mony showed that he was unable to TAXI
| care of himself it was the duty of The
company either to take him away or fail
| Ing TO do that, it was responsible for hl'
bill under the original agreement The
jury so held and gave judgment for the
full amount claimed. Mr.. w. b. Comp
ton, attorney for the company, asked for q
new trial, but the motion was denied
The amount involved is not sufficient tC
carry the case to the Supreme Court on
an appeal.
