D. A MULv LvANE SUES.
Wants Eight Hundred Dollars From
the Missouri Pacific.

David A. Mulvane instituted a suit in
the district court today against the
Missouri Pacific Railway company
which has some novel features. Mr..
Mulvane wants $4,000 for damages to
some stock which he shipped from Ar
lington, Col, to Kansas City in Octo-
Der, 1906.
According to the petition in the suit
which was filed with the clerk of the
district court today Mr.. Mulvane al
leges that on October 20, 1906, he ship
ped ten carload of stock from Airing
ton to Kansas City. This shipment con-
sisted of S5 steers, % cows, 90 heifers
and lab calves. The shipment did not
reach Kansas City until four days later
and Mr.. Mulvane declares that the
Missouri Pacific was negligent in the
care of the stock in transit as they
were not unloaded as they should have
been and watered and fed. Because
Of this he declares that the steers, cows
and heifers lost on an average of 20
hounds each and the calves 35 pounds
each He values this shinkage at 10
cent per hundredweight and at this
valuation the calculation is made that
the railroad company owes him $4,000
with interest at per cent from the
time the shipment was made. Mulvane
& Gault and D. r. Hite are attorneys
for Mr.. Mulvane.
