George E. Dessler, a Panhandle switch
man, was yesterday awarded $500 damages
from the c.. H. & d. Railway because Of
serious injuries received by being struck
by train on that road some time ago. The
facts, as brought out in the trial, were that
while making a coupling in the Panhandle
yards Dessler backed out from between two
cars and was struck by train on the c.,
H & d. road which was passing at the
time at full speed. Attorney Harris, for the
company, made the unique claim that the
c. H & D. could not be made the defend
ant in the case, inasmuch as that road did
not come into this city. He explained that
the c., H. &. l. road was the road that Dess-
Ter was struck on, and not the c.. H. & d.
but the court could not be brought to see
the distinction in view of the fact that the
g. H. & d. is operating the road, and ac-
cordingly instructed for the plaintiff. with
the above result.
