[Adaline BECRAFT PRATT], the wife of William D. PRATT, who was killed on the Panhandle railroad near Logansport some months ago, has been paid $1,700 by the railway company in settlement of a damage suit. The Logansport Pharos, of Saturday, says:
In the matter of quick action, a damage suit filed late yesterday afternoon by McCONNELL & JENKINES, beats the record. Adaline PRATT, widow of the late William D. PRATT, was the plaintiff, and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis (Panhandle) railroad company, the defendant. W. D. Pratt, a freight brakeman, in the employ of the company, died from injuries sustained on the 22nd of July last, while making a coupling at Anoka. He was caught between the bumpers. His wife, as administratrix of the estate, brought suit against the company for $10,000. This morning, by agreement, plaintiff was awarded judgment in the sum of $1,700.
Pratt formerly lived near Green Oak, and his widow is the daughter of Wm. BECRAFT, of this city.
