went off for the term by consent. No.
3 was settled. No. A, Frank Vannatta
vs. The Roekaway Valley Railroad
Co., was the first to be tried. The
plaintiff on October IA, 1899, was in
the employ of the Central Railroad
Co. as baggagemaster. He was in
his car running into Whitehouse
Station on the above date, Mt T. Is p, IN.
The defendant company connects with
the Central Railroad at this point and
had been shifting coal cars over the
latter's tracks to siding. As the
Central passenger train came up it
ran into large gondola coal car
which the plaintiff claimed did not
carry signal lights as it should hay g
done The Central baggage car was
telescoped by the engine tender,
fastening Vannatta so that it was
necessary to cut him out. He sus-
tanned severe injuries and seeks SO, 000
damages. The defendant company
claims that it was not negligent in the
handling of its train at the time of the
accident; that all the signals were
properly displayed and that the fault,
if any there was, rests with the Gen.
trail Railroad Co. and not with tho
Rockaway Valley Company. The
case went to the jury Wednesday
afternoon
