MAKES UGLY CHARGES.
Attorney for Mrs. Rigdon Claims
That She Was Coerced.

A reply to the answer of the Topeka
Railway company in the case of Mrs.
Q. NJ. RigdOn against the Topeka. Rail
way company was filed with the clerk
of the district court this morning. on
the evening of the 21st of September
1904, While Mrs. G. NJ. RigdOn, who
then resided at 1916 Tyler street, was
crossing Tenth street she was struck
by an eastbound street car and it was
supposed at the time that her injuries
would prove fatal. She was taken to
Christ hospital, where it was found
that her skull was fractured and that
she was otherwise injured and it was
several weeks before she was able to
fbe about on account of the injuries
sustained Mrs. Rigdon, who is quite
deaf, did not hear the approaching car
and the petition sets forth the fact
that due diligence was not exercised
by the employees of the company and
that the car was not equipped with
tenders according to law. Also that
the car which was propelled by a
powerful motor was not properly
equipped with brakes for controlling
the speed or bring the car to a reas-
enable quick stop in case of an
emergency.
as her attorney shortly after with the
intention of bringing suit for $1,000
damages but the suit had not yet been
filed. In the meantime Mrs. Rigdon,
who was living apart from her hus-
of $25 a month from him, went to
Colorado on a visit to her mother
Here" says Attorney Welch, lis
where the fine work of the attorneys
of the street car company first began
to come to light" After visiting her
mother a while she went to Denver
and began boarding at a private
house, relying solely on her allowance
from her husband to pay her living
expenses.
Her husband who is a drinking
man, was prevailed upon to discon-
tinue his monthly payments to his
wife, and she was left practically des-
titute and her trunk and wearing ap-
parel was seized by her landlady.
Then it was, it is claimed, that a rep
resentative of the railroad company
approached her and told her that her
attorneys had abandoned her case and
that the best thing that she could do
under the circumstances would be to
accept the settlement which the COM
pany was willing to make her. She
says she was also led to believe that
her husband would come back and
live with her if the case was dropped.
Under these misrep presentations she
says she signed the settlement which
the railroad had prepared for her and
accepted $175 as settlement in full.

ing this morning in the A, 0. L. W. hail.
at Sixth and Jackson street.
This meeting was devoted to a final
consideration and discussion of such
minor grievances as the board had pre-
scented to the officers of the road, and
also a discussion of the attitude of these
officials Information as to the subjects
under discussion was denied and after
the meeting was over the members of the
board again visited Mr.. Hurley's offices
and entered into another conference with
him and the other officials
Prior to this conference Mr. Hurley
said:
AT these conferences we have merely
talked over the situation as exists be
tween the firemen and the company and
entertained suggestions from them as to
work. They have presented no grievances
of Importance and it has not been sug-
gested that we change our agreement
with them and enter into a new one.
The present agreement is satisfactory
to all concerned. About the only thing
we have been doing is discussing the
changing of some rules. This conference
this afternoon will wind uD our work
and I am sure its results will be salts
