Case OF l.. II. Weber, Suing Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific
On Trial Soon
.sE MOST INTERESTING
CASE
Trial Will Be Heard in Council Bluffs
This Month - Case Destined to Be-
come Memorable, as Weber Was
Hurt at the Time Of the Mysterious
Homestead Wreck.
special to Times Republican.

SpSSldl W
Council Bluffs, Feb. 1.-THE most
important and the most interesting
trial to be heard in this city in months,
is now on before Judge Thornell In
district court, that of the personal III
jury suit of l.. II Weber against the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail
road in which $4,000 dam
ages are asked.
Weber was in the United States rail-
way mail service on the Rock Island at
the time of the notorious Homestead
wreck, In which Engineer Hotchklss
was killed and several others were In
iured. Weber claims to a received
injuries that nave left him permanent
ly disabled, and he seeks to recover
from the railroad company on account
of them, claiming negligence on the
part of The company.
The case is one that is destined to
become memorable because of the va
rious incidents connected with 1t n
the wreck. and it is anticipated That
every inch of the ground in the case
will be closely contested. "A large ar
ray Of legal talent is represented. l.. n.
Ilickenger of Council Bluffs, associated
with II. G. Hayner of the firm OF
Popham & Hayner, of Marenso, APP
pears for the plaintiff. Hayner has
been Intimately associated with the le-
gal ramitications relating to the wreck
in question, having defended Eric Won
kutzlcben. the young man from South
Amana, who was charged with having
wrecked the train. For the defense
Saunders Il Stewart, local attorneys
for the Rock Island, appear together
with Carroll Wright of Des DIN
general attorney for the road. a COM
plete record is being made of the case,
beginning with the examination or
jurors.
Hinges on kutzleben's Guilt.
While the claim for damages is based
the allegation that the wreck was
caused by a defective track and poor
roadbed, and thus by negligence OF the
the defense will probably
bring in as much as possible of the
evidence that accomplished the con-
viction of Eric Won kutzleben on the
charge of train wrecking, in the trial
at Marengo.
The young man has been confined IN
the reformatory at Anamosa since his
conviction, and is now in the insane
ward of that institution. He has been
a new trial by the supreme
court on the ground of several irregu-
in the trial of the case at Ma
rengo. NJ
Several months ago an attempt was
to take dispositions from Won
Kutzleben relative to the wreck for use
in this case, but, upon the advice that
he did not have to answer, he refused
to answer any of the questions that
were put to him by the attorneys.
The conviction of Eric Won kutZleben
was based upon the theory. supported
by certain evidence, that he had en-
tered the tool house Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad and Sc
cured a bar with which he pulled the
spikes that held the rail in place. Prac-
all of the witnesses with the ex-
of the medical experts, will
probably be called from outside the
city in this trial.
