Secured Judgment Against Monon Railroad for $7,375.

In Valparaiso Thursday the jury in the case of the estate of Jacob Kolb against the Monon railroad returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $7,375. Kolb and John Einsele lost their lives when struck by a Monon passenger train at Russell street in Hammond on Sept. 3, 1913. E. D. Crumpacker and Chief Councel Hine, of the Monon, made a motion for a new trial and failing to secure it will take an appeal. Judge Loring heard the case.
