Remains In state Courts.
In spite Of the long argument of Edsoi
p. Rich, attorney for the Union Pacific
Judge Cornish decreed this morning that h
would not allow the removal of the $4,000
damage case brought against the road b!
Colonel Wilson in the Lancaster distric
court to the federal court. Mr.. Rich In
sisted that this should be done as a matte
Of law and right, and he proposes to fgh
the matter out as far as the United State
supreme court. II necessary.
In this case Wilson sues for damage
for a broken back. While jacking up al
engine in a pit at the Columbus roun
house he slipped and fell, his back strikin
a broken edge of the pit bottom and main
ing him fer life. He makes Daniel Llnahar
the master mechanic in charge of the roun
house, a co-defendant with the railroa
company. claiming that he is equally liabl
with the company. The legal effect @
making Linahan a defendant is to give tn
state courts complete jurisdiction to TT
the case, and while IT is not proven that hi
being brought into the case is a fraud or a
attempt to evade the statute, the feeders
courts are not likely to invade the juris
diction of the state tribunals.
Mr.. Rich insists hat the only reaso
why Linahan vas made a defendant was I
enable the state court to retain Jurisdic
tion. The case will be tried shortly. Nj
Rich said that II the supreme court Of Ne
braska should uphold the district court 1
its refusal to permit the removal of tn
case he would go direct to the United State
supreme court on the ground that a fedora
question is involved, the right to take tn
property OF the company without due pre-
cess of law.
