WANTS DAMAGES
Eliza Fontenan Claims H6r
Broth3r Was Killed by Inter-
state Trolley Gar.

Eliza Fontenau's suit TO recover from
the Interstate Consolidated Street Rail-
way company the sum OF $1,000. for the
death of her brother Francis Fontenau,
on August IS, 1899, was on trial In Judge
Dubois court. before jury, today.
Mr.. Fontenaus death is alleged to have
been due 10 negligence on the part OF the
motorman in charge OF the last car run
by the corporation on the day named.
Mr.. Fontenau was on his way 10 his
home at Attleboro on his bicycle. He was
perfectly sober, friends who were with
him say. There must have been an acci-
dent 10 Mr.. Fontenau's wheel, for the
motorman of the last car saw. it is
claimed, man lying between the car
tracks.
II is further claimed that though the
road was straight and there was nothing
in the way OF clear view, the car was
not stopped, and Fontenau was rolled
around tho fender and under the wheels
OF the car. His bicycle was pitched over
the side OF the road into some bushes.
Mr.. Fontenau lived quite little time
after the accident. but full particulars
about the cause OF his being on the car
tracks were never told. The plaintiff
claims the accident was due 10 the car
being propelled at such an unwarranted
and dangerous rate Of speed that IL could
not be stopped I'm time TO prevent the
body on the track being struck.
one witness testified that the only dam
age to the bicycle apparent after tho car
struck IL and Fontenau, was that the
handlebars were twisted.
