A Merrill jury in answering special
questions in the case of Mrs. Marie
Arneberg VS.. the Milwaukee road,
held that Sigwald Arneberg was not
a passenger of the line when he was
killed at Dunfeld in February, 1921.
The jury, however, put the loss Mrs.
Aneberg had suffered through her
husbands death at $4,000. The case
is important in that the question of
a carriers liability in case of an in
dividual taking a free ride, is involved
Arneberg had entered the caboose to
ride short distance, unbeknowns to
the train crew. Near Dunfield three
runaway cars demolished the caboose,
! killing its lone occupant. 1t was set
forth by the plaintiff and the jury
agreed that it was a common practice
to ride on this section of the road
without paying fare. The jury held
that this practice was known to both
Arneberg and the company officials.
If Mrs. Arneberg gets $4,000 YER
dict the case will probably be appeal
ed on its merits.
