SUES ROAD FOR $4,000.

Damages of SIS, 900 are asked of the Rut-
land Railroad company. in suit brought
against the corporation in county court by
Edwin w. Squires of Rutland, the fireman,
who was seriously injured when the Bos-
ton Sleeper left the rails at point near
the Rutland Fire Clay company plant
about two months ago. The case is
brought under the federal employers liza
bility act. The accident, which occurred on
April % was one of the miraculous escapes
which sometime happen in railroad life.
The whole front section of the train took
the siding, the engine tipping over and the
only person injured was Fireman Squires.
He was thrown from his seat and his in
juries included the loss of one hand and
compound fracture Of one leg, aside
from bruises and Commissions. Tho rail-
road officials claimed at the time of the
accident that the train had been derailed
by some person tampering with the switch
at this point. but detectives from Boston
agency, who worked on the case in con-
junction with 1.-THE State officials for two
weeks after the accident, failed to locate
any clew to any such action. The plain
tiff now claims that the derailment was
due to split switch" and that the en-
CINE did take the main line, the other
cars taking the siding. which is just north
Of the Eddy crossing.
