ANOTHER BIC SUIT
Filed Against the Santa f
Railroad.
ASKS $4,000 DAMAGE
Walter Beasin of Augusta
the Plaintiff.

There is an epidemic Of railroad dam
suits The like was hardly ever seen ex-
cept in case of a wreck. Three times in a
week the Santa Fe has been sued. W.
c. Beason has sued the road for So, 200.
He says that on or about December Il
last, while he was in the employ Of the
company as q brakeman at Augusta, and
while engaged in the proper discharge Of
his duties as brakeman at the direction
and request of the defendants agents, in
and about coupling freight cars ne was
caught between the protruding ends Of
some large poles with which the cars
were loaded and crushed, bruised and
wounded and seriously and permanently
injured both externally and internally.
He says that from the effects Of this in
jury he became sick and diseased IN his
lungs and vital organs and head. and
thereby caused to endure permanent and
severe mental and physical pain and SUI
fer.ng and to become an invalid for life
He says he is now wholly unable to per
form any of the usual vocations Of l:fe
quiring manual labor, only for which
ne was suited.
The petitioner states that the accident
was a direct and proximate result Of the
carelessness Of the engineer, fireman and
conductor in managing the cars and in
managing the engine, and also as a direct
and prox!mate result of the negligence
Of the railroad company and its agents
in carelessly and negligently loading said
cars about which plaintiff was working
in coupling and uncoupling the same.
Mr.. Beaslin asks for a judgment for
sl2, 900 for injury to his health and 5000
for expense of medicines and medical at
tention. Mr.. Beaslin now lives in this
city. He formerly worked for the Santa
Fe as brakeman. runring from Augusta
to Arkansas City. Houston & Brooks
have taken his case for him.
This suit makes the third damage suit
filed against the Santa Fe within the last
week, aggregating over $4,000. Mr.. F. w.
Bentley stated to reporter for the Eagle
that there is not a railroad in Kansas
that IS making expenses, on account Of
numerous and costly litigation which
they are compelled to keep up for their
protection. The public, he says, have
come to believe that they ought to sue
a railroad for the most trivial matters,
simply because they think it IS a corpora
ton and can stand It. Mr.. Bentley says
a great many OF the railroads are now
actually taking in less money annually
than the amount Of lawsuits filed against
them. Most Of these suits are defeated
when they get into the higher courts, but
all this legal warfare costs money.

PRINCE OF swINDLERs.
Morse, the Forger, May Be Tried In
Montana.
(Anaconda Standard.)

(Anaconda Standard.)
From circumstance which came to
light yesterday it would seem that S.
H. Morse, who was arrested Thursday
for swindling Salt Lake hotelkeeper
by means of worthless check, was
apprehended in good season, as he had
already begun to operate in Butte.
Yesterday morning Thomas P. Newton,
manager of the Montana Iron Works,
in South Main street, called at police
headquarters and stated that he had
been doing a little business with
Morse, and was out $22 as a result of
his experience.
Mr.. Newton said Morse came to the
works and wanted srivets. He repre-
sented himself as an agent for some
steel works, and was very particular
about the rivets. He compared prices
with those of other cities, required five
rfvets be tested in his presence, and
acted so much like man of business
who was onto his job that Mr.. Newton
had no hesitancy in accepting his check
when he rendered one for $50 on a Den
yer bank for payment of the rivetS.
Morse needed rivetS so bad that he
bought S2S worth, and Mr. Newton gave
him $22 in change, never suspecting the
man was not all he represented himself
to be. He was vastly astonished when
he read in the papers Of Morse's Salt
Lake experience. 1t is not settled yet
whether Morse will be allowed to re-
turn to Salt Lake or will be held till
the Denver bank can be heard from
and prosecute here if, as expected, the
check proves to be fraudulent

Steiner In Denver.

The Denver Republican has the fol-
lowing to- say Of Jack Steiner, who
left here last week to fight Gus Rubin
at Denver:
Jack Steiner came in from Salt
Lake last night prepared to make a
match with Gus Rubin for some date
during the carnival. Stelzner stands 5
feet 11A inches in his bare feet, and is
big about the chest and shoulders. His
head is smaller than Ruhlin's and he is
built on somewhat different plan,
more rangey. Steiner is a former
sparring/ partner of Robert Fitzsim-
mons, and learned from the Australian
many of the fine points of the game.
For the past three years he has lived
in California, where he met different
heavyweights and suffered the for
tunes Of war, as we'll as won a few bat
ties. In the last few Stelzner has shown
a great improvement in his boxing,
enough so that enthusiastic friends be-
lieve he is also in line, for champion
ship honors He says that the heavy
weights will have to reckon with JEFF
fords very shortly. Il have beaten
Jeffords,'' he said, but he is big,
strong and willing. His late battles
have taught him more Of the game, and
he is getting better very rapidly. JEFF
fords was originally wrestler, and is
very powerful. y.
Steiner will meet Billy Madden and
Bat Masterson today and talk over the
proposed match. -ss
