Damage Action Is Dismissed In Kansas Case
A $300 000 damage action arising from a highway accident near Plainville Kansas on January 1 1954 was dismissed in federal court. The guardian for George Rosebaugh of Hays Kansas says the claim against Doc's Well Service operator F W Caughlin and driver Robert Reeves is being pursued in state court in Rooks County. Rosebaugh reportedly became mentally incompetent after a fog crash into the well servicing rig on U S Highway 183 north of Plainville. The case was filed in federal court due to the guardian Charles V Wheeler of Oklahoma City, with attorneys noting divided precedents on federal jurisdiction via diversity of citizenship.
