SUES THE SANTA fE
FOR BIG DAMAGES
United States Contractor Blames
Road for Inability to Finish
Work.

The Santa Fe railroad is the de-
fendant in a big damage suit which
has been filed at San Antonio, Tex
as, according to "a dispatch from
there, which says:
J.. p. Nelson, who secured a con-
tract in November. 1905. from the
United States governme 1t TO con-
struct a dam across tn Rio Grande,
other structural work and a six-mile
canal at Selden, a pr ~ near Las
| Cruces, N. NJ, for ~ 078.95, and
who failed to cof0Tl.tFt as wo~k 4" a
prescribed time, has Instituted suit in
| the 45th district court against San
| ia Fe railroad for s91,194 damages
| the result OF alleged delay In the
| transportation of lumber to the scene
of operations.
The plaintiff names as defendants
the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe and
the Atchison. Topeka & Santa rail-
roads. He specifically charges that
the cause of his failure to complete
the work by April 20, 1907, the limit
| date, Is due to the insistence of the
defendants to transport lumber con-
tracted for between the plaintlff and
the Spencer Lumber company over
|
partly over the road of the Southern
Pacific railroad, as desired by the
lumber concern.
| In closing a contract for lumber
the plaintiff AYERS that he urged the
necessity OF immediate transporta-
ton owing to the damage of high
water In the Rio Grande. The lumber
was to be hauled from Silsbee and
points in that vicinity to Selden, N
NJ. He AYERS that the lumber con-
Germ took the shipment of the ma
terial with the defendants and thai
the high water precaution was duly
administered to the defendants by
the lumber company. The lumber
company desired the defendants tc
haul a part OF the dis17nce over the
Southern Pacific tracks, thus cuttinl
short the route, but that on the con
trary, the defendants insisted or
transporting entirely over their owr
lines or a distance 1900 miles greater
than the route suggested by the lum
Der company.
Nelson agrees that he had to EN-
ploy a man to go along the route o
the defendant railroads and urge th'
immediate delivery OF shipments tha
were sidetracked on the way TO thu
scene of operations. causing extr'
expense; that the five months II
which ne was to have finished tn
, work passed with the Job incomplete
that the Rio Grande rose and, be
cause 81 high water, about which tn
defendants had been previousl
. VI rned, the plaintiffs expensive plan
! had to lie idle for eight months.
The plaintiff shows In his petitio
that the actual loss on the contrac
with the government to him wa
$64,67S95; that damages for tn
, idleness OF his plant eight months
