NEWBOLD vs I. & G. N. RAILWAY

 

     The turkey case of C. D. Newbold vs I. & G. N. Railway on trial in Judge Dashiell's court, resulted in a judgment for $11.50 in favor of the plaintiff.  The nature of the suit was to recover damages in the above amount against the road for the killing of about 15 turkeys that were picking up loose grains on defendant's tracks.  While fowls were thus absorbed in an effort to get all the corn an engine came along and caught them.
