Bought a Lawsuit,

When the Erie railway absorbed the
New York, Susquehanna and Western

Susquehanna had perpetual contract
with the Lackawanna by which i;
agreed to deliver to il forever that
part of its freight traffic which sought
a tidewater terminal.
The Erie managers, however took
the Susquehanna with that obligation
ignored the obligation and must now

recounts the adventures in his escape from rebel
