She sets up that she and her two children were dependent upon her husband for support, that he was a brakeman on the Central and while coupling cars at Battle Creek for the road Nov. 20, 1897, through the lack of proper couplings and the negligence and carelessness of incompetent employees of the road, he was knocked down between two cars which he was endeavoring to couple and lived but five hours thereafter.
