OF the hills. and. as IL was a hrigh. moon

SEEKS REFUGE. /.
Under the Act Limiting Liability for
Damages.

Within the last few days suit has been
Instituted by Miss Minnie Haggett of
this city against the Casco Bay Steam
boat company. On the fourth day OF July
Of the rast summer Miss Haggett was
passenger on the steamer Alice Howard
and she claims that while Passing down
the companion way steps from tie upper
deck to the main deck she was injured
By lite preservers falling upon her. The
amount OF damages sought is $4,000, and
Miss Haggstt's attorneys are Carroll W.
Morrill, and David E. Mouiton. The case
has teen entered In the Superior court.
The OIL sials of the Casoo Bay line state
that the amount OF damages that Miss
Haggstt asks Ia excessive and they further
demand that the injuries that she re.
ceived were not the result OF any fault OF
the stsamer or OF any OF its officers. On
Saturday, therefore, the company. through
Its attorney, Benjamin Thompson, filed
with Clsrk Davis Of the United States
circuit court, q petition for Limitation Of
liability.
The petition is o lengthy document and
reoits that the Amount OF damages
sought Is far In e1oess OF the value OF
the steamer and OF her sppurtenances
and freight at the time that the accident
Is alleged to have occurred. The ooinpa-
ny has reason t, fear that other actions
may be brought and accordingly desires
to claim the benefit Of the statutes to
contest the liability for any and all loss
es; and desires TO pay into the court the
value OF the steamer. during the psndeD-
cy of the proceedings, or to give stipu-
latIon with sureties providing for the
payment tterrof. 1t also prays that the
court shall direct that an aprraisement
be made of the value of the stesmsr; that
a com n issioner be appointed, and that
an injunction be Issued restraining Miss
Haggett and her attorneys from further
prosecution cf action and restraining the
commencement of any and all other
actions, suits or legal proceedings against
the company.
The ps.ition also re,ites that II pro-
ceedings shall be instituted an appraise-
ment be made according to the value OF
the steamer and that 1t be divided pro
rata among such claimants as may
prove their claim before the commits
sioner; and that forever after the CON-
pauy be exempt from all further liabtli-
ty.
The petition Is rsturnable In the Unit
ed States court, March Is, 1909, and Judge
Webb has appointed william III. Bradley
as the commissio II sr, aud William Leav
lit, George f. Morse and Fritz II. Jordan
ns appraisers Of the value Of the steamer.
