CONDITIONS. 
Section I. The carrier or party in possession of any of the 
property herein described shall be liable for any loss thereof, or 
damage thereto, to the extent of the value declared in this bill 
of lading, except as herein after provided. 
No carrier or party in possession of any of the property herein 
described shall be liable for any loss thereof or damage thereto 
or delay caused by the act of God, the public enemy, quarantine, 
or the authority of law, or the act or default of the shipper or 
the owner, or for difference in weights of grain, seeed or other 
commodities caused by natural shrinkage or discrepancies in 
public weights; and, except in cases of the negligence of this 
company or its agents, it shall not be liable for loss, damage or 
delay occurring while the property is stopped and held in transit 
at the request of the shipper, owner, or party entitled to make 
such requests, or resulting from default or vice in the property, 
or strikes, or the death, injury or escape of live freight. 
Sec. 2. In issuing this bill of lading this company agrees to 
transport only over its own line, and except as otherwise pro- 
vided by law, acts only as agent with respect to the portion of 
the route beyond its own line. 
No carrier shall be liable for loss, damage or injury not occur- 
ring on its own route, or its portion of the through route, nor 
after said property has been delivered to the next carrier, except 
as such liability is or may be imposed by law, but nothing con- 
tained in this bill of lading shall be deemed to exempt the initial 
carrier from any such liability so imposed. 
Src. 3. No carrier is bound to transport said property by any 
particular truck, or in time for any particular market, or other- 
wise than with reasonable despatch, unless by specific agreement 
endorsed hereon. Every carrier shall have the right in case of 
physical necessity to forward property by any route or means 
between the point of shipment and the point of destination, but 
if such diversion shall be made the liability shall remain as if the 
entire carriage were made by the receiving carrier. 
In consideration of the value herein declared being used as a 
basis for determining the rate to be charged, the amount of any 
loss or damage for which any carrier is liable shall be computed 
om the basis of such declared value of the property as herein 
stated under this bill of lading, including freight charges if paid. 
Except, in case the actual cash market value of the goods carried 
shall be less than the declared value, then settlement shall be 
made on the basis of actual cash market value on the date of 
_ shipment, but the shipper shall in no case be entitled, after a false 
declaration of value, to any refund of charges made. 
Claims for loss, damage or delay must be made in writing to 
the originating or delivering carrier within thirty days after 
delivery of the property, or in case of failure to make delivery, 
then within thirty days after a reasonable time for the delivery 
has elapsed ; and suits for loss, damage or delay shall be instituted 
only within two years and one day after delivery of the property, 
or in case of failure to make delivery, then within two years 
and one day after a reasonable time for delivery has elapsed. 
Sec. 4. No carrier will carry or be liable in any way for any 
documents, specie or for any articles of extraordinary value 
unless a special agreement to do so and a stipulated value of the 
articles are endorsed hereon. 
Sec. 5. Property not removed by the party entitled to receive 
it within forty-eight hours (exclusive of legal holidays) after 
notice of its arrival has been duly sent or given, as regards goods 
consigned to the terminal of the carrier, may be held at such 
terminal subject to a reasonable charge for storage, and the 
liability of this company shall be that of warehousemen only; or 
if such goods are herein consigned for delivery to a specified 
address other than the terminal of this company, the liability as 
common carrier shall terminate upon tender for delivery at the 
sidewalk or receiving platform of the consignee, and if the goods 
are not accepted on such tender, they shall be returned at the 
expense of the owner to the terminal of this company and held 
there subject to a reasonable charge for storage, or at the option 
of this company removed to and stored in a public or licensed 
warehouse at the cost of the owner and: there held at the 
owner’s risk and without liability of the carrier and subject to 
a lien for all freight and other lawful charges, including a 
reasonable charge for storage. 
The carrier may make a reasonable charge for the detention 
for loading or unloading of any truck for a time in excess of 
thirty minutes exclusive of actual time consumed in such loading 
or unloading, and may add such charge to all other charges here- 
under and shall hold such property subject to a lien therefor. 
Sec. 6. Every party, whether principal or agent, shipping 
explosives or other dangerous goods without previous full written 
disclosure to the carrier of their nature and having the same 
expressly endrosed hereon, shall be liable for all loss or damage 
caused thereby and such goods may be warehoused at owner’s 
risk and expense or destroyed without compensation. 
Sec. 7. The owner, or consignee, shall pay the freight and all 
other lawful charges accruing on said property, and if required 
shall pay the same before delivery. If, upon inspection, it is 
ascertained that the articles shipped are not those described in 
this bill of lading, the transportation charges must be paid upon 
the articles actually shipped. 
If any C. ©. D. is not paid within thirty days after notice of 
non-delivery has been mailed to the shipper, the carrier may, at 
its option, return the property to the consignor. : 
Sec. 8. Any alteration, addition, or erasure in this bill of 
lading which shall be made without an endorsement thereof 
hereon, signed by the agent of the carrier issuing this bill of 
lading, shall be without effect, and this bill of lading shall be 
enforcible according to its original tenor.
