Dear Sir:- '
_ I return herewith docket renort and.copy of aménded
. petition in the case of John May vs the company now pending
in the Breathitt County Quarterly Court.
J. W. May and Henry Moore have sued the Company on
account of alleged defective cattle guards. This cattle guard
is located b29 feet south of the south switch at Altro and is
one of our standard Sheffield guards. Henry Moore admits that l
the cattle guard is.in the same shape now that it was in May,
K 1914 the date of the alleged destruction of corn etc.
- I am examined the guard personally a few days ago and
found that it was constructed in strict accordance with out
_ Specifications.
Section noreman J.K.Harkins will testify that some
-, of the stock that destroyed the corn etc. belonged to May and
it was thru his negligence that they strayed into the field.
In my opinion the amount demanded is exhorbitant even
- ii the stock did stray into the eornfiled and I doubt if any
material damage was ever done.
One of the section laborers George Morris also
Section Foreman J.K.Harkins will make good witnesses in this case.
" Yours truly,
J.O.Ely, .
‘ Roadmaster.
