E H Emery & Co. won a $7000 judgment against the A R T Co. in the Ottumwa district court for damage to 26 cars of peaches shipped from Clarksville Arkansas in 1912. The ruling holds the A R T Co. liable for misfeasance as agent for the Iron Mountain route, with prior Supreme Court decisions limiting recovery to the shipment's value at destination.
