Onawa, La, Mldarch a5.-JudgeI
George .Jepson rof Sioux City, held
here In the Case OF J. "A. prichard
against the Chicago & Northwest
ern Railway company that the
company was liable for the, stat
utory penalty OF $500 besides the
price of a ticket to Turin. Ia.
from Onawa, for failure to re-
deem the ticket when presented
for redemption at the place Of
purchase. The judge held that
it was question Of the construc-
ton of the statute regarding the
redemption of tickets and not the
|reasonableness or unreasonable
ness of the eompany's regulations
that governed. The court held
that the positive statute required
the company TO provide for the
redemption Of tickets. purchased
in good faith if presented within
ten days from date of sale, and
that the purchaser was entitled to
receive his money Immediately
and did not need to wait until the
company had sent, the ticket into
the general passenger agent. The
court further held that the de-
mand for redemption might he
oral as we'll as written.
Counsel for the company ar
gued that the rules of the com
pany should govern instead of the
statute.
Ii is said the railroad company
will appeal.
