Wife Asks $30,000 For Death Of Husband

A suit to obtain $30,000 damages was filed in district court here 
Tuesday by Mrs. Flora REED against the Montezuma Mining Company, 
as the result of an accident in the concentration plant near Cardin 
December 17, 1922, which is alleged to have caused the death of James 
S. REED, husband of the plaintiff. According to the petition, Mrs. 
REED charges that her husband was caught by an unguarded line shaft 
and pully in the Montezuma mill and thrown to the floor with such 
force as to inflict injuries which caused his death a week later.  
Mrs. REED states in the petition that her husband was the sole 
support of herself and three minor children. 

Submitter's Note:  These are my great-great grandparents. I have 
the court papers with Flora settling out of court in the amount 
of $3,500.00. Two of the minor children, I can not find out 
anything on. Names were Chelora and Ruth. Chelora was born in 
1914 and Ruth was born in 1911.
