We spent a few hours last Friday in
he hustling little city of Atkinson.
Atkinson, in common with every other

irospering and gives evidence of sub
stantial growth. We were shown
hrough the magnificent new furniture
store room of E. J. Killmurry. Mr.
iCillmurry has one of the largest and
licest equipped furniture stores in this
lection of the state, in fact he has a
itore that would be a credit to Omaha,
ind he carries an exceptionally large
itock. The building, being built for
lis store is so constructed that it
hows his stock off to advantage. Ed
s an old O’Neill boy, having been
>orn and raised on a farm a mile
lorth of this city, just half a mile
lorth of where the editor spent his
loyhood days, and we rejoice in his
irospAity and hope that the people of
he western part of the county will
sppreciate, by substantial patronage,
lis efforts to give them a first class
'urniture store. Balin Brothers have
ommenced the erection of a two story
itore building, just forty feet east of
he John McNichols corner. The
luilding will be of brick, with terra
:otta trimings. One of Atkinson’s old
and mark was torn down and this
luilding is being erected in its place,
rhe residence portion of the town is
ilso rapidly improving and all the
•esidents seems contented and happy.
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.
