AWARDED $4,000
FOR HIS INJURIES
MONTANA MAN GETS VERDICT
THOUGH HE WAS RIDING
ON A PASS.

Butte, Mont. Dec. 21.--A fury In the
district court has awarded Terry John
a verdict for $4,000 against the North
ern Pacific Railway Co. Two years
ago, John, who was then general agen9
for the Rock Island road in Montana,
was injured in a wreck on the North
ern Pacific, being thrown from his
berth in sleeper and striking his
head on the berth across the aisle. He
became paralyzed and has since been
unable TO talk. He sued for $50. 800
damages.
The railroad company, by way of
defense claimed John was riding on a.
pass and therefore could not collect
damages. Plaintiffs counsel claimed
that the pass was in return for favors
issued to the defendant. and that John
in his business or solicitor in Mon
tana naturally secured business for the
railroad. The court uphAld the latxer
contention and the jury promptly re-
turned the verdict stated. Counsel for
the railroad say they win appeal.
