WANTS BIG DAMAGES
Mrs. D. A. Garst Sues the
Frisco for $lO,2t5.
WAS INJURED AT FREDONIA
Says That Conductor Pushed
Her Off the Train.
MAS INJURED AT FREDONIA

Emma ". Garst, wife Of D. A Garst.
senior member of the wholesale grocery
firm of Casey & Garst, of this city, has
sued the St. Louis and San Francisco
Railroad company for slO.215 damages for
alleged injuries received while alighting
from a moving train at Fredonia, Kan,
on the 9th day of last May.
In her petition filed yesterday by AMI
don & Comfy, Mrs. Garst alleges that the
conductor OF the train commanded her to
jump from the car and by reason OF the
push and shove so negiigently and care
lessly given her, she fell from the car
upon the platform at Fredonia and re-
ceived serious and great bodily injuries.
The petition states that her back was
severely injured and wrenched and is nov
permanently injured; that her hip was Sc
verely sprained and injured and that she
received a great shock to her nervous
system. Mrs. Garst further states that
by reason Of the injuries to her back and
spine she has lost partial control of her
lower limbs, and that her injuries are
permanent. Previous TO this accident
Mrs. Garst says she was in perfect bodily
health and able to transact her business
but that by reason Of sucn injuries she
has been compelled to employ physician
and a nurse TO care for her, and has had
10 buy medicine. The bill for her physi-
can has been $50, nurse bill $50 and med
icine bill SIS. These bills, added to the
$4,000 damages claimed, make up the
grand total of slO.2l5. which she asks of
the defendant railroad company.
Mrs. Garst owns a lumber yard at Long
ton, Kan, and has a great deal Of other
business in the way OF loans and real
estate TO look after. At the time this
accident occurred she was on her way to
Longton. Mrs. Garst alleges that she pur-
chased a first-c,ass ticket over the Frisco
which authorized her to ride on defend
ants trains from Wichita to Fredonia and
from Fredonia to Longton. Mrs. Ga-st
took the parlor car, paying to the con-
ductor 30 cents extra for the use Of same,
ard says the car constituted a part Of
the train. The conductor of the train
informed Mrs. Garst that she would have
to change cars at Fredonia, and both con-
ductor and porter had agreed to notify
her in time to make the change at Fredo-
mia but they neglected to 50 notify her,
and subsequently when the train stopped
she did not know the station twas Fredo-
mia, although she had asked both the
conductor and porter If It were not FIRE.
donia- When the train started again the
conductor and porter returned TO her and
said they had made a mistake, and that
she must hasten and get of. She says
she asked the trainmen to stop the train
but they said they could not, saying that
she could safely jump off the train. Be
fore Mrs. Garst had time to consider, she
ayers. the conductor gave her push and
carelessly and with gross negligence
pushed the said plaintiff off the car. In
the fall to the platform is where she re-
ceived the injuries OF which she COM
plains.

DOLD'S CELLARS SAFE
High Water In Chisholm Greek
Brings PUMPS 60 Work.

The big pumps at the Dold plant were
yesterday called into play for the third
time this season. Chisholm creek went up
three and half feet yesterday after 10
o'clock in the morning. the cause being
the heavy rains all through the district
north.
This means that the creek was two and
a half feet above the sewer line. This
would mean that without the valves ar
rangement there would be that amount of
water in the cellars, but the admirable
arrangements made for the protection of
the plant preclude the possibility Of such
an emergency. When the water gets
above the sewer line the valves are shut
down and then the pumps are called into
service to force the sewerage back into the
city mains. Two siphons. seven and eight
inch, were used yesterday and the ca
pacty OF the pumps is 5000 gallons per
hour.
The thorough arrangements made for
this service never fail to save the plant
from any water trouble. as evidenced by
the remarkable work done during the last
high water disaster in the north end, a
few weeks ago.

FILES IS DEAD
STRUCK BY A FRISCO TRAIN
While Attempting TO Board 1t We'd
nesday Night,

Artemus Files, the young man who was
so severely injured by a Frisco train We'd
nesday night, died at st. Francis hospital
yesterday morning of his injuries. Mr.
Files attempted to board the baggage car
as the train passed the home of his uncle
at 332 North Moseley avenue, and as the
night was very dark. he missed his hold
and was knocked several feet by the train
and then dragged in the gravel Of the
roadbed. His shoulder was terribly mash
ed and he must have been injured inter
nally.
He was discovered a few minutes after
the train had gone and was carried back
to the house of his uncle and laid upon
the porch. No physician could be obtained
for quite a while after the accident and
he was taken to the hospital that night.
A reporter for the Eagle was at the scene
Of the accident a few minutes after IL
occurred, and the victim was unable to
talk then. but his relatives did not think
he was badly hurt. The deceased was a
young man about . years Of age. The
funeral was held from the residence OF the
deceased's mother. at 725 East Oak street.
yesterday afternoon at o'clock.

MURRAYS ARE ARRESTED
MIlIertOn Families Have Had Trouble
Before.

Harry L. Bullock, who was so badly In
jured and came near being killed in a
scrap with Thomas Murray and his son
last Tuesday. near Millerton, Is very
much improved and by proper care and at
tention will soon recover. The Murrays
were arrested yesterday and taken TO
wellington last night. when they were re-
leased on bond. 1t was learned that the
younger Murray was hurt seriously. al
though not so bad as Harry Bullock. II
seems that young Bullock struck VIII
Murray with the handle OF pitchfork,
which the Murrays claim led to the knife
slashng. The Murrays claim that the
trouble was over a wagon dispute, just as
Bullock reported it. but each party nat
uralIy thinks the other is to blame.
This case may not end with the arrest
and punishment OF the Murrays, but II Is
believed that young Bullock will also be
arrested for assault. Both young Murray
and Bullock are hurt badly. 1t is claimed
by those who are in a position to know
that both families have had trouble OF
this kind before.

FOR FAST DRIVING

shape for speeding Horsemen will be
allowed to train their horses on the track
every forenoon and one evening Of each
week general speeding win be allowed.
The general ordinance governing the park
prohibits fast driving. but the general
request for permission to speed in the
park has been so persistent that Mayor
Ross and the park commissioners have
concluded that an advisable plan would
he to allow speeding in Griswold under
certain restrictions. Workmen have been
repairing and improving the track for q

ing by the citizens and visitors will be
permitted. The same privileges will be
allowed also to wheelmen.
This plan will be very popular. The or

toned will serve as q protection to ladies
and children who merely 60 to the park

however, Is not 70 be construed into
meaning that races will be allowed. Races
Of every kind will be prohibited. If a
man has horse that can trot a mile in
a minute he will be privileged to get out
on the Griswold track and put the animal
to the utmost limit Of speed and go around
as often as he pleases, but not in race.
The Importance of the park system to
Wichita is coming to be greater every
week. The inviting pleasure of its drive
ways puts Wichita in motion now even in
the hottest weather, when the whole pop
ulation would otherwise be fretting at the
monotony and dull quiet of the place.
