mentioned the engineer in charge of
the locomotive on which Pete Hudson
was working as fireman, ran the en-
gine at a dangerous and reckless rate,
sixty miles an hour, down that grade
and attempted to go around that
curve. That the engineer was the
agent of the company acting for it
and that his recklessness and negli-
gence caused the accident which fol-
lowed and in which the said Pete Hud-
son was killed.
The declaration also shows that the
said Pete Hudson was young man
and that the father and the minor
children have been deprived of his
company, presence and support and
that he might have lived for years
longer had it not been for the acci-
dent caused by the recklessness and

graph Company, Hattiesburs Trac-
tion Company Home Telephone

partment of the city of Hattiesburg
was also using the poles for its fire
alarm system and that these wires had
become crossed with the other wires
and. whereas, by themselves the fire
alarm wires were OF low potentiH11s'

one, yet when they were crossed w3tn
the other wires, as they were on that
day, they became most dangerous

and deprived her and the minor child
rem of the support and comfort he
would have given her AND then and
therefore prays for damages in the
sum of $4,000.
The attorneys for Mrs. Berry in
this suit are Messrs. Torrey & Logan,

Wants Weather Station.


The Board of Trade of jackson has
taken steps to secure weather sta
tion in this city, in the care Of com
petent weather man. to furnish daily
news Of the weather for the benefit
Of this territory. The Board Of Trade
has addressed an official letter to the
weather bureau at Washington re-
questing that a bureau be established
here.
It is pointed out to the bureau that
Jackson is the largest city Of the
state now, with population in and
out Of the city in its immediate SUI
burbs, far eceeding that Of any other
city in the state. In addition 1t is
the greatest railroad center and has
double as many passenger and freight
tratrt pcnmjn in and going out every
az than any Ather city in the state.
z IS also the headquarters for more
general distributing concerns than
|any other point in the state, and a
weather station here would reach
'| IF
more people than station anywhere
else IN the state OF course, it Will
take time to secure the station. but
,there is confidence expressed in the
3natter. Congressman John Sharp
Williams has been written to also by
the Board OF Trade and urged to pre-
sent the claims Of jackson to the
weather authorities there. That Mr..
Williams win do this goes without say
ing, and that he Will secure the prize
Is also certainty.
1t was through Mr. Williams infiu-
erce, after several months OF hard
lighting, that the Washington authori-
ties agreed to put in the jackson post
office for the conveniences requested
and which are more than asked in the
petition or letter addressed to the
congressman or the people at large.
In any event the matter Is now up
and ds on the record of the department
directly interested.
