The Kokomo Dispatch says it is better to be a live coward than u dead hero —or even a crippled one. when railway wreck heroes me reckoned. There is pom Dick Neff. The press of the state sang his praises for months after the wreck at the Wabash bridge and at Fisher’s Station on the Lake Erie line. He asked $25,000 damages for a twisted spine and an old foot that wasn’t worth half as much hs a new cork one. Os course he didn’t expect to get this much, but he fixed a pretty fair price in order to give the federal court an opportunity to sugle, and although even the railway com* pany's lawyers said no end of pretty things about Dick’s bravery, the court scaled the whole demand away and left Dick with the costs to pay. So it will be seen that heroism counted for no more with Dick than if he had lay still at the Wabash bridge and permitted the train lie flagged to finish him. j Heroes are not worth a dollar a dozen in the eyes of the prosaic law.
