WAS TRAVELLING ON A PASS
Only $1,000 Could Be Recovered
From Union Pacific for Death
of Roy Chamberlain.

There were two surprises sprung in the
district court here yesterday in connec-
ton with the $4,000 damage case of A. /.
Stone, administrator of the estate of Roy
Chamberlain, deceased, VS.. the Union Pa
cific Railroad company. The first was
yesterday forenoon, when Judge ]. A
Howell handed down a decision, on mo-
ton of the defendant, for a nOn-suit on
the Srounds that the deceased was trav-
cling on a free pass and thereby not en-
titled to any damages, because of the
contract on the back of the pass, which
had been signed by Chamberlain, releas-
ing the railroad company from any re-
sponSlbility for damages resulting in per-
sonal injury or death. second clause
OF the same contract set forth that in
case of gross negligence the injured party
could not recover damages exceeding 81,
GO The plaintiffs counsel argued that
the contract was not a valid one, and
that if any negligence was shown on the
part or the company they were entitled
to damages.
The court decided in favor of the con-
tract and held that the plaintiff, if en-
titled to recover damages, the same could
not exceed the amount stipulated in the
contract. 81 900.
Later the case was given to the jury.
They deliberated but a short time and
returned a verdict for $1,000 the full
amount within their power under the
instructions OF the court. Chamberlain
was killed in the Azusa wreck in No
vember, 1905.

According to the statements given out
yesterday the off-repeated plans of the

that the company will make the usual
applications for franchises where neces-
sary at once. The estimated cost of the
extension 20 Brigham from the Hot
