SUIT FOR $4,000.
Filed Against the |. c. Railroad
BY Miss Ada Robinson.
FOR DEATH Of HER BROTHER.

Miss Ada Robinson. Of this place,
has, as administrative, Of the late
Robert J. Robinson, filed a petition
in the Crittenden Circuit Court
praying for judgment against the
!. &. railroad for damages in the
sum Of S2S 1000 for the death Of her
brother, who was killed on the road
near Princeton, May ?.
The petition states that the agents
and servants Of the railroad COM
Pany operated, with gross negli-
gence, train without air-breaks,
with defective couplings; the car
had an unfaStened door, and a heavy
stove, insecurity fastened, was in
the car. That the train, being so
negllgently operated and with reck-
less speed, broke into two sections
the locomotive with part of the
train ran off from the sections Of
cars in which the deceased was
travelling, and, after getting some
distance away, the conductor who
was in charge of the train, with
gross negligence. gave a signal to
the engineer in charge Of the loco
motive to stop the same, and by
reason of this signal the locomotive
was stopped, and the car in which
the deceased was riding thereby
colllded with the same, with such
force, being on down grade, that
deceased was caught by the loose
door against the facing Of the door
way of the car, and his head so
crushed and injured that he fell to
the floor and was caught beneath
the stove, and from these injuries
he died within an hour or so there
after.
