SUIT OVER DEATH OF RACE HORSES. Louisville, Ky., July C. W. W. Darden yesterday filed suit against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, the Adams Express Company and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway for 1917.sh5,000 damages, representing the alleged value of five thoroughbred race horses killed in a railroad wreck fourteen miles north of Cincinnati July 7, 1915. The plaintiff alleges the loss of the horees was due to the joint negligence of the defendants and charges that when he shipped the animals from Latonia to Windsor they were loaded in an old and dangerous car. The car rolled down an embankment and four of the horses were killed outright, while the fifth horse died of injuries a few days later.
