PAIR OF CASES
FILED AGAINST
NORTHWESTERN
Damages for Broken Leg and for
Smashed Wagon Sought by
Matthias Lochner and Carl
Gundlach

Two cases were filed at Madison
against the Northwestern road. Matthias
Lochner sued for $4,000 damages for
injuries received by motor car which
struck him the evening OF November

the foot OF q path which leads from
East Main street between Sutherland
court and South Fourth street. He
claims that the car gave no signal and
carried no headlight. He sustained
a broken leg.
The company in it's answer claims
that the path used by Lochner was
not an authorized thoroughfare and
that the Injuries sustained were a
result of lack of ordinary care on the
part of the plaintiff.
Carl Gundlach is suing for $4,000
damages for personal, injuries to his
team and damages done to his milk
wagon on September Is 1918. when
an engine struck the vehicle which
he was driving across the intersec-
tion of the tracks and First street.
He alleges that the engine was travel
ing at an unlawful speed while ap~
jroaching a crossing and that he was
thrown several feet under the wreck
age of his wagon. He values his milk
wagon at $1,000.
The company through the director
general, asks for dismissal OF the case
on the ground that the accident was
due to negligence on the part OF Gund-
ZACH.

Among the number Of farms that
suffered as a result Of the tornado
that visited this region last week
probably none were hit harder than
the farm owned by George Bailey,
five miles north Of Lyons. Here the
wind struck with terrific fury and
made a total wreck of the barn, corn
crib, wind mill, machine shed, granary
seven bee hives and chicken coop.
The house was the only building left
standing and this was damaged to the
extent of over $500. The heavy
barn roof was carried through the
air and struck the roof of the house.
carrying the latter with 1t for eighty
rods. A number OF chickens were
killed and scattered through the
surrounding woods.
At the time the storm struck Mrs.
Bailey was bringing two cans Of milk
to the house and set these down as
she fastened for shelter After the
storm had passed, the cans Of milk
were found standing upright with the
milk unspilled, about the only thing
untouched A strange mop was also
found on the premises, blown there
from no one knows where.
Across the road from the Bailey
farm a nice young orchard was laid
flat on the Stott farm and here was
deposited a two, gallon jug of lini-
ment, upright and intact. No one
knew whence it came.
