The damage suit against the Kansas
City Smelling and Refining company

ne was instructed by the foreman to go

obeyed from a fear that he would be
discharged unless he did as told to do.

James Matthews who was run down
and injured at crossing on Third street

ditions caused by the torn up street for
paving prevented the plaintiff from
escaping the car, he claims He was
badly bruised and MANNED and is unable
to earn a livelihood by manual labor.

Parker who was run down and injured

ing wounds from which he died in a hos
