<DIV align=center><STRONG>Case of Woman Who Sued Norfolk and Western Railway
Postponed</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> Captain Mastin, the passenger conductor, was
saved a trip to Wayne county last night because the court there postponed a
certain case in which the Norfolk and Western is interested. From the
conductor's story a woman in Wayne county is suing the Norfolk and Western
Railway Company for alleged injuries done to her health on account of a walk
from Alnwick to War Eagle. It seems that the woman, who had boarded the
train in Wayne county had walked four miles to the Wayne county station, boarded
the train and rode 75 miles to War Eagle where she says the train stopped
although she had a ticket to Alnwick. The woman alleges, it is said, that
her health was impaired by the walk of a little over a half a mile from Alnwick
to War Eagle, and now the railroad company has got to fight it out.</DIV>
