Maria McDonald has filed suit in the Iistrict court of this county to re :over the sum of $20,000.00 damages alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff, while a passnger on the de fendant company’s road in February of this year. In her petition she al leges that on February 15, 1916, she purchased a ticket at Felix, Wyo oming, for transportation to Gil lette, in the same state. That the platform of the station at Felix was not of sufficient length and that the train crew did not stop the train so that she could step from the platform to the step of the car she wished to board. She alleges that she was com. pelled to walk on the ground, several several feet from the platform, to board the car and that the step of the car was at least three feet from the ground. In order to board the car she was compelled to place ono knee on the step and thus assist herself up to the steps. While standing with one knee on the step of the car and while raising the other foot the train started with a jerk and she was thrown against the iron of the steps and car, with the result that she was severely in. jured and that said injuries are per manent. She believes that $20,000.00 would compensate her for the iu juries she received upon the above date, and she asks judgment for that amount and costs of suit. iviargarei werner Drings suit against the Burlington and Chicago and Rock Island, through its receiver, for $35,000,00 for damages alleged to have been received while a passenger of the Rock Island on October 8, 1915. In her petition she alleges that on the above date she purchased a ticket at Okarchee, Okla., for Omaha, over the Rock Island. She traveled over that road to Lincoln. As the Rock Island was temporarily out of business on ac. count of a derailment the car was switched to the Burlington for trans portation to Omaha. After the said i-ar had been attached to the Burling ton the car in which she was riding was run into by a switch engine with the result that she was thrown from her seat and against other seats of iron, wood metal and glass and that she was severely injured and is now suffering from what is known as ^Railroad Spine.” That all of said in juries are permanent and that she will never be able to perform any work or labor. By reason of said in juries she was taken to a hospital in Lincoln and afterwards taken to her home where she was attended by a physician until Dceember 3, when she was taken to the Nickolas Senn hospital in Omaha, where she remaind from December 5th, until January 18th, where an operation was per formed. She alleges that she will always be lame and will be unable to wak wlithout the use of a cane and thinks that a judgment of $35,000.00 with costs of suit would about recom pense her for the injuries and suffer ings she underwent as a result of the accident.
