Claimed They Were Killed by High Tension Wire

Sanford Casler Brings Suit for Damages--John Shadford Also Sues D. Y. A. A. & J. Road

Sanford Casler has brought suit against the D. Y., A. A. & J electric railroad company for $500 damages, alleged to have accrued to him because of losing two horses of the value of $500 through the telling of a high tension wire, owned by the company, upon them on March 28 last.

John Shadord, through his attorneys. A. J. Sawyer & Son, also brings suit against the road to enforce them to pay a judgment of $8,260, which was rendered by the circuit court. Shadford was au employee who was paralyzed by falling from a derrick of the company while engaged in constructing the line on Packard street. This case has been in the courts for some time, the judgment having been given some time ago. The D., Y., A. A. & J. people, it is claimed, have tried to get out of paying on the ground that when Shadford was hurt he was not working for the people who now own the road, although they afterwards bought it.
