Negligent

A little COB Of grease on the end
OF a railroad spike caused a damage
suit OF $500 to he filed against
the Frisco railroad by Frank keeit
a laborcr, in the district court this
morning keeic alleges that on
August N, 1910, he was driving
spikes on the Frisco tracks in Ok
lahoma City, and that he struck one
particular spike with a maui, with
the intent and purpose Of driving
the spike into tie to hold a rail

struck with the maui, with the CON
sequence that the maui flew against
his left shin. Keef alleges that

means Of telling whether the spike
was in iit and proper condition to
be driven without undue precautions
