GEORGE BOWL|N GETS
$4,000 FROM 0.R.&N.
Jury RETURNS VERDICT
IN BIG DAMAGE SUIT
Former Brakeman for Company
Awarded $4,000. for Injuries Re-
ceiVed-Company Attorney Fore
Stalled Bennett's Argument.

a verdict for $4,000 in favor of the
injured brakeman. George J. Bowlin.
was returned yesterday morning by
the jury before whom the $4,000
damage suit had been on trial for the
last three days of last week. The
case was the most stubbornly con-
tested of any yet tried at the imporr-
ant term of court and the compare
lively brief amount Of time required
ny the jury to reach a verdict was
somewhat of a surprise.
Though he was suing for $4,000 II
is understood that Bowlin and his at
torneys are well satisfied with the
verdict. The railroad attorneys on
the other hand were hoping for
similar verdict and the case will
probably be appealed to the state
supreme court.
Bowlin is 45 years of age and the
accident which made him a cripple
for life, occurred at Gibbon station
more than two years ago. For 2S
months of the time which has elan
sed since then, he was an inmate or
