NEWPORT, ARKANSAS. THURSDAY.
AGENT MADE BREAK.
Thought Lady Was a Mulatto
and Road Must Pay for Her
Injured* Feelings.
Senator M. P. Huddleston of
Paragould tells of an interesting
case which recently emerged
from the courts, says the Little
Rock Gazette.
The suit was against the Iron
Mountain railroad and the plain
.. tiff was a highly respected young
woman who lives in Greene
county. She is of the brunette
type, dark complexioned, and
this circumstance gave rise to
the litigation.
The young woman was in the
waiting room for white people at
the Iron Mountain statjon at
Knobel awaiting a train. The
railroad agent made the mistake
of thinking she was a mulatto
and demanded that she go into
the negro waiting room. The
young woman indignantly re
fused to comply with the demand
and a well known citizen who
was present and who was ac
quainted with her stood as her
protector against any further in
sistence on the part of the rail
road a sent.
The young woman brought suit
against the railroad for damages
by the wounding of her feelings.
In the Greene circuit court she
was given judgment in the sum
of $250. The railroad appealed
( to the supreme court and that
1 tribunal affirmed the judgment,
tthe railroad will now have
for the mistake of its
young woman has since
d and still resides in north
rkansas.'' The uti&Ttion is
i, the basic incident being
ifrequent occurrence that
irse of the proceeding in
irts has been watched with
