$4,000 WANTED
JAMES SMITH BRINGS SUIT
/ AGAINST THE N. p. RAILWAY
3 FOR PERSONAL DAMAGES.

j A $4,000 damage action was filed
with the clerk of the fedral court at
Fargo Monday by Col. NJ A. Hildreth
on behalf of James Smith of Cleve-
land, N. D. The complainant, who is
a rancher and farmer of Stutsman
county, states in the complaint that on
December IA he was riding in a car
as a passenger of the N. p, accom-
panying freight consisting of farm
machinery and stock, from st. Paul to
Cleveland. He further alleges that the
defendant corporation violated the or
dinance of the city of Fargo and the
statute of North Dakota by making a
flying switch in the local N. P. yards,
which resulted in the engine and the
car in which the plaintiff was seated
being violently sent against other
cars, throwing the plaintiff forcibly
upon the floor of the car, injuring his
breast and shoulders, back and spine,
and partially para1yzing his back and
sides and causing other internal in
iuries so that he is disabled from his
business as a ranchman and farmer.
The plaintiff further states that he is
so years old. has wife and daughter
dependent upon him, and he asks that
he be paid $4,000 damages for his
personal INJURIES The action will
probably be tried at the next term of
federal court.

be something terrific, and many times
the minister was hard put to it to

from being regarded with high favor
for many years, finally came to be

LONGEST BRIDGE.

Two bridges from Staten Island, and
one from Manhattan, to the New Jer-
sey shore have been recommended for
construction, to the legislatures Of
New York and New Jersey, by the spe-
cial joint commission which for sew
eral months has been considering this
subject
Each Staten Island bridge would
cost approximately 100000. The
Manhattan bridge. which would cost
nearly $35 100000, would be built from
a point somewhere between Four
teenth and Seventy-Second streets, and
would be suspension bridge, one
hundred and fifty feet above high wa
ter, and with span of 5000 feet, the
longest in the world The principal
part of the expense would be in the
construction of very deep foundations,
as the silt at the bottom of the Hud-
son river goes down from 80 to $50
feet, according to location.
It is planned to use the big bridge
for for several railroads which, upon pay
ment OF rentals, would be permitted to
run into the heart Of New York City
Foot passengers and vehicles also
would be accommodated. While an
elaborate plan has been mapped out
It will REQUIRE the action OF two legis-
latures, with the approval of congress,
to carry it through. * ;.s.

Hansbrough and McCumber and Con-

accomplished much for our state.
