Lawsuit Seeks Damages Over Lime City Branch Operation
Walter L. Johnson files two district court suits against the Rock Island railway seeking fifty thousand dollars in damages and a mandamus to operate the Lime City branch. He claims the line failed to extend its Lime City branch, refused to transport his quarry and kiln freight, and caused loss of value to his Cedar county holdings. The action cites a note for ten thousand dollars and outlines the land, quarries, kilns, and business affected.
