GLOYDS SUIT
FOR DAMAGES.
It is Reported That He was
Awarded Judgment
for $4,000.

A rutnor reached here this morning
that Charles Gloyd has been awarded
$4,000 damages in his suit against
the Southern Pacific Company. The
report was current among Gloyd's
closest friends here and is probably true.
Gloyd. who was then a brakeman,
lost an arm on this division of the road
about a year ago. The accident oc-
cured near White Plains. He was
uncoupling a train on the grade, when
the engineer "slacked back" and
Gloyd's arm was caught and so badly
crushed it had to be amputated.
