week. tits the suit of Julia A. Church
against the Milwaukee Railway Co., for
personal damages which has been on the
docket for six years and was first tried
at Sioux Falls where Mrs. Church secur-
ed a verdict for $500. She was put off
a Milwaukee train at Worthing, s. D.,
because she bad a ticket to Artesian via
Sioux Falls, and she insisted on going
