krohne Judgment Affirmed.
BY the recent decision of the United
States court of appeals at San Francis
co, c. o. Krohne is brought one step
nearer to securing his judgment
against the Northern Pacific for Sl5 900
damages Several years ago Mr..
Krohne was run down in the Livnss-
ton yards by the switch engine and sus-
tanned the loss of both legs. He insti-
tuted suit for $4,000 and one year ago
obtained judgment in the district court
at Helena for S15,0 600. The decision of
the San Francisco court of appeals
affirming the judgment does not settle
the case. for the railway company will
most likely staye off the payment as
long as possible and take an appeal TO
the United States supreme court.
