Abbott, the blind piano tuner, has
commenced suit thru his attorney. ID.
c. Chase of this city, against the Hi
nois Central Railroad Company for an
amount of money not yet. decided up
on but which will be large.
Abbott is we'll known in Webster
city and northern Iowa, where he has
been tuning pianos for many years. Ho
is quite a character and. altho totally
blind, is quite able to go around as
we'll as a person who is blessed with
two good optics. He tunes pianos in a
number of towns in this part of the
state and is a frequent patron Of the
railroads.
Last Thursday night Abbott went to
the Illinois Central depot in this city
and purchased ticket for Iowa Falls.
He was alone as he usually is. When
the midnight train pulled into the sta
ton the blind tuner attempted to BOARD
the train, but was stopped by the con-
ductor, who inquired If he were ac-
conpanied by some person. Abbott re-
Piled that he was not The conductor
then said that he could not possibly
allow him to get on his train, as there
was a rule to the effect that blind per-
sons could not travel alone on the
trains of the Illinois Central.
Abbott got to Iowa Falls the next
morning thru the help of friend. but
he was much exercised over the action
of the conductor and telegraphed the
offices in Chicago The officials an

wholly within the rules of. the COM
pany and that no blind man would be
permitted to travel on their road I'M
less accompanied by some person who
couid see. Abbott determined to fight
the ruling and has retained Mr.. Chase
and Will bring suit against the COM
pany for damages, as he claims that
the rule is arbitrary and tends TO put
him out of business.
officials at the local station say that
the rule against carrying blind persons
unaccompanied is recent one. ABB
bolt has never been troubled in this
way before except at times at some OF
the smaller stations.
