MONKEYS AT $2,000 EACH.
Valuation Made by Owner in Suit
Against Railroad Company.
Monkeys are valuable animals, especially those which have been trained to perform in public, if the damages asked for the death of three baby monkeys by Miss Edith Hathaway, at the Orpheum theater last week, can be taken as a criterion. Miss Hathaway is suing the Chicago Great Western for $6,000, giving as the actual value of the monkeys $2,000 each.
In her testimony taken before C. W. Prince, her attorney, yesterday afternoon, Miss Hathaway stated that she did not wish punitive damages for the death of the monkeys and asked only to be compensated for actual monetary loss.
