Mr,S,M.Wflsmn
Counsel, L. & E. R. CO..
Lexington, Kentucky.
Dear Sir:—
Referring to yours of the 25rd instant enclosing cer—
tificate of judgment and costs in the case of A. J . Hughes v. L. & N.
R. Co., Wolfe Circuit Court, amounting to $194.07 in all.
I have request/tgat vouchers be issued to cover and
same Will be remitted through J. D. Atkinson in due course of business.
Ed I shall be glad it you will ask Mr. Atkinson why de-
fendant failed to secure a better result on the trial of this case
and at the same time have him return all the investigation papers
which he has. According to Freight Claim Agent Seger, these papers
were forwarded direct to Mr. Atkinson by Mr. McDowell. I have »
;never seen the file but it occurs to me that our plea of limitation
\’gought to have bean good: if we made it. I refer; of course, to sec-
! tion ll of ... lire stock contract requiring notice of damage before
mingling of stock./<~
Yours truly,

through the carelessness Fnd ncglgcnoe of the defendant, its
agents, servants and employees in the running of the train
which carried this car to its point of destination four head of
said cattle of the value of $45.42 each were killed and there-
by made valuolcssto the plaintiff; that by reason of the delay
inthe arrival of said carioad of cattleat the point of dcstinatio
which delay was unusual and unnecessary and occasioned by the
negligence and carelessness of the said defendant company, its
agents, servants and employees in tho operation and running of

 ..F...

age of IS pounds each on 50 head of said cattle and that said

a total shrinkage of 450 Pounds and a shrikege amounting tax in
value to the sum of 3:25.17: that on- the 25th day of October '
1913, a statement of the damage done to said car of cattle by
the defendant company was made out and presented to the defen+
dant company for payment, and that the defendant company failed
and refused to pay said claim or any part of it, that said car
load of cattle was owned by the plaintiff, at the time of the
shipment, and at the time of their delivery at the point of des—
tination, and that the loss in the selling price of said cat—
tle at said.market, consisting in the sum of El73,2317 for the
four head if cattle killed in shipment, and the 450 pounds
shrinkage in shipment at the rate of 15 pounds per head at the
price of $5.15 per hundred pounds was sustained by the plaintiff
alone; that the contract for the shipment and delivery of said

‘ cattle at said point of destination was made with the defendant
company in Wolfe county, Kentucky, and that the negligence and
carelessness of the defendant company, its agents, servants and
employees in Inning said car as to be several hours late in the
delivery of said cattle and in so carelessly and negligently op~
erating said car as to kill said four head of cattle in ship»
ing and between the points of shipment and delivery, has damaged
plaintiff in the mnn of $196.85.

Wherefore plaintiff prays judgment against the defendant
Louisville &. Nashville Railroad Company, for the sum of $19685
and all proper relief.
