MAY SUE RAILROAD Mrs. Thomas Mylott Has Engaged Attorney to Look Into Case GENEVIEVE IMPROVES Operation Was Successful— Mrs. Mylott Came Home Yesterday Mrs. Thomas Mylott returned yesterday from Chicago where she has been at the bedside of her daughter, Miss Genevieve, who was badly injured in a wreck on the elevated railroad. The injured girl is doing as well as can be expected and it thought that she will fully recover in time. The operation which was performed to remove a portion of a broken bone from her skull was quite successful and now the family is hopeful for the ultimate recovery of the girl. Mrs. Mylott will return to Chicago in the very near future. She has engaged attorney Bartle of that place to make a thorough examination of the accident and in the event that the wreck occurred responsive to negligence of the railroad employes it is quite likely that a damage suit will follow. It Is quite evident that the engineers were wholly responsible for the mishap as they were both trying to reach the crossing place first. The Decatur friends of Miss Genevieve are glad to hear of her improved condition. o ASA JENNINGS WHERRY.
