SUIT FOR $4,000
Against the Peoples Ferry Company by
MIR. Quincy p. s. Dyer of South Portland,
Who Was Injured just a Year Ago.

Yesterday afternoon Edwin Il. Heokbert
Esq. as counsel for Mr.. Quincy P. $. Dyel
of South Portland, fled suit in the Su'
preme court for $4,000 against the Peoples
Ferry company for injuries received, as
alleged. due to the fault of tie ferry boat
management, on the 9Th of December. 1893,
just year ago yesterday.
The story is as follows: Mr.. Dyer was on
board the ferry boat in sleigh, when they
reached the South Portland side Mr.. Dyer
started to drive off. HI claims that the slip
was not properly adjusted. Therefore his
sleigh caught. His horse ran away dragging
him from the sleigh and several feet along
the slip on his chest. He was confined to
the house for four weeks, and alleges that
he has not been well since, that his lungs
are injured, and that he cannot lift as he
used to without hurting him. He keeps a
grocery store and is man about thirty-fve
years old.
We understand that the Ferry company
will contest that the town is responsible as
the slip is town property.
An attachment was placed upon the ferry
boat by Deputy Sheriff Plummer.
