If a ruling made by the Snohomish
county superior court is upheld, as it is
believed it will be, the Great Northern
railway will not be compelled to pay
damages for loss Of life or destruction
of property brought about by the dread
full Wellington disaster. A passenger
who was slightly injured and who suf-
fered the loss of his baggage sued the
company for damages, and Judge Black
OF the superior court held the accident
due to providence; that the Great
Northern was in nowise responsible,
and the plaintiff was not entitled to
any damages.
