Williams, Ben

What is thought to be a record-breaker in quick action in damage suits was brought to light Saturday when Anna Williams of Tar River Oklahoma, filed suit for damages to the amount of $25,000, for the death of her husband, Ben Williams, killed in the Goodeagle Mine Friday. Mr. Williams, who was a shoveler in the Goodeagle Mine, west of Tar River was injured by a slab of rock falling on him Friday and taken to the hospital at Miami expiring a few hours later. His body was taken to his home Saturday, but it is claimed that the suit was filed by Mrs. Williams through a Joplin Missouri lawyer, Kelsey Norman, before the body reached the home. The funeral did not take place until Sunday.
