II. H. Adler yesterday began action
against the Illinois Central railroad to
recover $1,000 damages for being put
off a train between Correctionville and
Anthem for the refusal to pay the adj
ditional 10 cents with the cash fare.
The case also will test the railroads
right to collect the additional 10 cents
with cash fares on trains when no op
portunity is given to buy transporta
ton at the station The petition has
not yet been filed. altho the original
notice has been served on the railroad
company. The petition. which will be
filed in a few days by George w. KEEP
hart. states that Adler was at the sta
ton In Correctionville twenty or TWEEN
ty-five minutes before train time. but
that the office was closed and that he
could not procure a ticket. Adler
boarded the train and offered the con-
ductor Is cents. the exact fare be-
tween Correctionville and Anthem. The
train demanded the additional 10 cents
and Adler refused. He was thereupon
elected from the train and forced, he
says, to walk five miles under the hot
sun. The damages are asked as balm
for the humiliation caused by the ejec-
ton aud the shock resultant from the
walk.
