a Milwaukee train. Suit is brought
for the statutory amount provided in
case of death, $500, it being alleged
that the railroad men were negligent.
AS the action was first brought the
railroad company was the only de-
PENDANT, and the company caused it
to be transferred to the federal court.
There it was dismissed on the plain
tiff's motion, and has been brought
again with two additional defendants,
Louis Nelson, the engineer, and E.
r. Terry, the conductor. 1t is ex-
pected that the addition of these de-
PENDANTS will keep the case from
again being removed to the federal
court.
Ivan Bowen is attorney for the
plaintiff and the case is being hand
led on behalf of the railroad COM
pany by Pfau & Pau and c. j. Lau-
risch, F. W. Root and Nelson j. Will
