Webster City, Feb. 5.-Three suits
have just been filed against the Him

city for damages aggregattng $l.2bO
and costs. They were fled by Charles
Abbott, blind man, N. NJ. Guthrie and
G. w. Cooper.
The Abbott case is familiar to more

asks the Illinois Central for $1,000
damages, due him by reason OF the
company failing to carry him from
Webster City to Iowa Falls. after he
had purchased a ticket.
Guthrie asks but 500 damages. He
shipped stock to Chicago last Decem-

advance In line to the center of the
slave market, almost up to the arcade
where the wealthy buyers sit ex-
pectant. Then the head auctioneer
lifts up his voice. and-oh, hideous
