DAMAGE SUIT
FOR $4,000.
Mrs. M. NJ. Taylor Enters
Action Against
L. & N. AND NJ, F.& S. RAILROADS,
Aud w. G.. Wells, Conductor, on Ac-
count of the Killing of Her Son
Will Taylor.

An important damage suit was be-
gun in the Maury County Circuit Court
Friday, when a bill was filed by Mrs. NJ
NJ Taylor, administrative, against the
Louisville Il Nashville Railroad Com
ptny, the Nashville, Florence d. Sheffield
Railroad Company and W. G.. Wells
seeking to recover damages to the
amount of $4,000, on account of the
killing of her SON Will Taylor, several
weeks ago +. H. Hatcher, Esq, is
attorney for the complainant.
Taylor, it will be remembered, was a
brakeman on the N, f. d S, and was
killed by being thrown from the top of a
car several miles from Columbia. While
the declaration in the suit has not yet
been flied, the facts as generally known
are that the car on which Taylor was
standing was unsafe, and while coming
down Dobbins grade one of the trucks
broke and let the car down, and the young
man was either thrown or jumped from
the train. He struck the ground on his
head, killing him instantly. An ex.
animation made of the wrecked car
afterwards, it is said, showed that the
truck had been rendered unsafe on ac-
count of shot box" and the response
bility for the accident was placed on w,
6. Wells, the conductor of the train,
who was turned off by the railroad com
pany few days since.
