AND STILL ANOTHER CHAPTER
Famous Culver Case to Come Up
Again in Federal Court at
Grand Rapids.

ln the fall OF 1902 William Culver,
who was employed by the South Haven
& Eastern Railroad Co as a brakeman,
was injured so that he lost both limbs.
lie brought suit ana recovered a judg-
ment OF $4,000. The company moved
for new trial and the same was granted.
On second trial Culver recovered a
verdict for $4,000 The case was re-
moved to the supreme court and re.
versed by that court on a techncality.
The case was again tried for the third
time in February, 1905, and Culver
again recovered. This time the Jury
awarded him $4,000 The case was
again taken to the supreme court and
the Fidelity & Deposit Co. of Maryland,
a surety company, guaranteed the pay
ment of this judgment, if the same was
not reversed. The supreme court af-
tirmed this judgment, but the South
Haven & Eastern h. r. Co. refused to
pay the judgment as did the surety
company. Culver then sued the surety
company and recovered a verdict for
S2l ,830.7J and costs. The case was ap-
pealed to the supreme court and the
judgment affirmed. An application was
then made to the U. S. supreme court
for writ of error and this application
was denied.
A bill is now filed in the u S. circuit
court at Grand Rapids asking that the
judgments in the state court be set aside
and vacated. The grounds set forth in
the bill are substantially the same as
were urged and claimed during the sew
eral trials in the circuit and supreme
courts of the state and also upon a mo-
tion for new trial before Judge Des
Voignes, who after fully considering the
same, wrote a lengthy opinion from
which we quote the following:
From what has been stated it is
patent that the same contention now
raised was practically in principle before
the jury on all the other trials; viz, the
integrity of the plaintiffs proof, indvid-
ually and collectively, was severely crit
icized and held up to the Jury as un-
worthy of credit and belief, and in every
instance the jury has refused to accept
this theory and rebuked the defendant
by an increased verdict in each in
stance"
The federal court issued temporary
restraining order suspendng proceed
ings on the part of the plaintiff looking
toward collecting the judgment and
fixed December 30 as the day of hearing
before the court.

RESTRAIN N. P. FROM
 TAKING AGENT FARE
Stockholders Bring a Friendly Suit Against Officers-Great Importance
 of Legal Action.

New York. April 29.-The Tribune to- morrow will say:
 Certain stockholders of the Northern Pacific railroad, it is said, will bring a friendly suit against the officers of the company for an injunction to restrain them from accepting for the company the two cent fare law in Minnesota. As they could not bring legal action against the sovereign state, their only alternative was to bring 1t against the officials of the company. The latter are compelled un- less restrained by the courts to comply with the provisions of the law
 Those who are familiar with the pro- posed legal action attach great impor- tance to it. as if the injunction is grant ed it will serve as stay to the enforce ment of the law as far as the Northern Pacific is concerned for perhaps two years.
 The Great Northern company doubtless will become party to the proposed suit of the Northern Pacific stockholders.
