Novel Question For Federal Court.

Helena.-Can recovery Of damages
be had from railroad company for
the death of a man who was killed
while stealing a ride?
This is the novel question involved
in suit instituted in the federal court
today by John AGRA and Laura Bell
against the Northern Pacific Railroad
company. Damages in the sum o.
$4,000 are demanded. According to
the complaint, Ernest AGRA boarded
westbound Northern Pacific freight
train Sept. 20, 1909, in company with
number of other persons. The trai1
had proceeded only three or four mile;
when brakeman discovered AGRA ant
hurled him from the train.
The road is double-tracked at the
place where AGRA was elected from
the train, and in falling he landed or
the second track. Before he could gel
out of the way, an east-bound train ran
over him and he died of the injuries
so received. AGRA was "a years of age.

The cholera peril at New York has its
serious aspects, but that the disease will
BATTLE the efforts Of the quarantine service
to keep it within bounds is hardly To he
unprecedented. A thoroughgoing policy Of
vigilance aud isolation has been adopted
by both Federal and State authorities.
There is some criticism Of Or. Doty, the
New York official in charge at the quar-
lntlne station, but that is always A fea-
ture OF any plague scare. He is an Off
cial of long experience. and his past scrG-
ices give Il better index Of what he IL
doing than newspaper protests. Surgeon
General Wyman also Is the right man for
the emergency, and can be expected to
in the most effectual way.
New York is the chief point of danger,
as being the principal place of influx,
general alarm has been sounded. and
until the danger is past all ports on the
Atlantic and Pacific are to be safe guarded.
Nearly every vessel arriving from the
south of Europe has Seen found TO be a
center of contagion, with one or more
cases in the steerage and many suspects.
but thus far only Il single instance OF
the disease being communicated to 4 resi-
dent of this country has been reported.
Even should the cholera break through the
Gordon and gain a foo,noIu vi land, the
authorities are confident that the plague
spot would be quickly stamped out.
The declaration Of a ten days quaran-
tine of all immigrant-carryinS vessels and
other extraordinary precautions not only
minimizes the immediate peril. but must
act as 4 deterrent on immigration at ali.
1t would seem that the cooperation OF
foreign governments could be secured 20
guard against the transportation OF fever
stricken aliens, and promises TO that end
are most profuSe, but either the loophoies
are numerous or the temptation To get rTi
of this class of undesir3bles is too strong
TO be resisted. The steamship companies
also throw down the bars, and altogether
the practice of "wiuking' at fleeing
cholera victims renders the counter efforts
of American officials of no avail.

ed out the duty of Congress in the mat
