Suit for $20,000 damages has been begun by Mrs. Sarah Cook against the American Bridge Company on the allegation that the woman's husband, Joseph Cook, who died recently, was struck and fatally injured by the loose handle of a heavy crane while at work in the big plant on South Warren street.

The injury was received January 22, 1901, and the deceased only survived three days.
