occasion, according to the complaint,
the defendant left his home for Leb

of the defendants threats she left her
home, fearing violence, and went to

The road has been completed, so
far as track-laying is concerned for
some time and freight service of some
extent has been inaugurated, but the
company desired to have the roadbed
in first class condition before carry
ing passengers ovejr the line and the
physical limitations of a single-track
line have made ballasting operations
somewhat slow. The new line is a
