The refusal came as a surprise to East Wellmouth and caused much comment.

Mr.Chris Badger was a passenger on the train from Boston and that train ran off the track at Buzzard's Bay.

No one was seriously hurt except Mr.Badger.The latter gentleman purchased a pair of crutches and limped about on them, proclaiming himself a cripple for life.

He and Heman Daniels had had a disagreement over a business matter so Chris took his damage suit against the railroad to John Kendrick.

And John refused it.
Captain Obed, much disturbed, questioned his friend.
"Land of love, John!" he said.
