Walter Johnson Sues Rock Island For 50000 Damages
Two suits filed in district court by Walter L. Johnson against the Rock Island railway seek 50000 dollars and costs. He charges failure to operate the Lime City branch and seeks a writ of mandamus to compel operation and freight transport. Johnson owns Cedar county lime quarries and kilns and alleges the line’s extension and notes tied to quarries left his property devalued and his business damaged. Horan & Devitt represent the plaintiff.
