Railroad Case Against Santa Fe Reaches Federal Court
A. A. Hurd, attorney for the Santa Fe, asks the federal court to transcribe a long running Osage county judgment seeking damages from Mrs Allie M Goodwin formerly Mrs Allie May Henry for 5250. The case began in 1890s with Henry’s death when her former husband engineer Frank D Henry perished on a Santa Fe freight run to Hollyrood Ellsworth county. The railroad’s receivership and stock disputes left the judgment unpaid while disputes over the reorganized company delayed payment. Waters & Waters represent Mrs Goodwin in Osage county and seek collection through the United States circuit court.
