Trial Of Famous Damage Case
Is Begun In Federal Court
at Fort Dodge
FIGHT OF EXPRESS COMPANIES
Suit Brought by Mother Of Young
Man Who Was Killed in Accident
While in Employ Of Express Com
pany.-vaIidity Of Clause Waving
Right to Damages Attacked.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Ia, Nov. 16.-The ia
NOUS case Of O'Brien VS.. the Chicago
& Northwestern is before the federal
court in this city. Several years ago
an express messenger named O'Brien
was killed in the wreck of the North
western fast mail train near the big
viaduct at Boone. The case was first
brought up Wednesday.
Suit was brought by his mother for
$4,000 DANA ges, and she has been
awarded damages each time the case
has been tried. The Northwestern
railroad company has appealed the
case time and time again, it having
been carried to the supreme court
twice and sent back again. The COM
pany has been defeated each time, but
is waging the fight in order to gain
precedent by which the company
would be absolved from damages,
whenever an express employee is killed.
When man enters the express SER
vice he signs an agreement by which
llG plcu6SS IlutScll AlOl W AOIN I4lC en-
press company responsible for any in
jury he may receive. This death
clause has been overruled time and
time again, but the company has man
aged to find some technical error each
time and SO applies for another hear
Ing.
The prominent officials OF the
American Express company are gath
cred in the city to aid in the fight.
e The outcome OF the case Is watched
with interest by express employees all
over the country, for should the
O'Brien estate win again 1t would
plactic carry make this death clause null
and void, and would soon cause the
companies to refrain from putting 1t
on their contracts. AS It is at pres
ent q man cannot work for the ex-
press company without signing this
clause.
Although the SUIT is against the
railroad company it is the express
company that is fighting the battle, as
the express company has an agree.
ment with the road by which the COM
pany agrees to pay all damages that
may be levied against the railroad
company for an injury or death to
an express employee.
O'Brien's death was tragic in the
extreme. When this fast mail train
was derailed few years ago the ex-
press car was crushed into bits and
O'Brien was killed almost instantane-
ously, he dying a few moments after
rescuers reached his side. The other
occupant Of the car, messengers
helper" Sigafoos, was unconscious for
days, and remained in. hospital for
weeks. He was thrown head first into
the cinders along the right of way and
quantities Of cinders were taken from
his nose, mouth and ears by those who
first reached his side.

NAY CLOSE SCHOOLS.
Board Of Education at Sioux City
Fear the Scarlet Fever Epidemic
Will Force Them to Close Schools
Sixty Homes Guaranteed.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Nov. 16--At a confer
sence Of several members OF tho beard
'of education yesterday morning, it was
decided to exercise the greatest eau-
ton in the public schools. to prevent
the spread OF scarlet fever. which is
now quite prevalent In Sioux City.
The disease has been spreading rap
idly of late and at present there are
more than sixty cases reported to the
health department.
Furnigation of the public schools be-
gan yesterday and the board decided
when necessary, to close the buildings
when fu1nigatOn is IN progress. while
the epidemic lasts, the school bdhld-
fngs villa be thoroughly dtsinfected
with tornado -yde every Friday eve
ming and Saturday.
"If the spread OF the disease is not
checked by this method" said a nem-
Der OF the school board, 1.-THE next naove
i suppose will be to temporarily close
the schools.
There is little doubt that the most
infection is in the schools, and If the
Immigration does not stop it, why the
more stringent method will have to be
resorted to.
ut is very easy for the germ to car
ny and we have no way OF stopping it.
Mothers in many cases allow " air
children to enter school or associate
with others before they are entirely
free OF the disease. 1t Is then when
there is the greatest danger of infec-
tion.
carelessness Partly to Blame.
'The scales which peel off the skin
whel one is recovering are lighter than
a feather and Of course are very easily
carried away by the slightest wind.
Then. again, mothers in many cases
are careless with the clothes worn by
the patient.
Mothers should be very careful and
cautious and abide by the quarantine
rules. "A great many do not, am sor-
ny to say"
When 1t is taken into consideration
that since the first day Of October over
sixty homes have been quarantined,
and during the three days Of the pres
ent week there have been eleven new
cases, it is readily realized that strtn-
gent measures must be adopted.
