THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER.
DAMAGE CASES
CROWD DOCKET
i DURING SESSION
AGGREGATE A LARGE SUM
"
Suits Against Railway and
the City
The current session of the city court
of Americus is given added interest in
the unusually large number of suits
tor personal damages filed for trial.
Eight or ten cases wherein Americus
people appear as plaintiffs seeking
damages from the municipality or cor
porations here, aggregate very nearly
$70,000.
The city of Americus, the Seaboat 1
and Central railways and the Americus
Gas and Electric Co., are the defendant
corporations in the cases upon th t
docket and to be heard at this term
of court.
Mr. L. O. Gammage, of Americus, Is
plaintiff in a suit against the city for
alleged personal injuries resulting from
a fall into an open ditch on Dodson
street about two years ago. For in
juries sustained, Mr. Gamage asks
damages in a large amount.
The case was tried at a previous
term of court, when a mistrial re
sulted.
Cliff Hudson seeks to recover dam
ages from the Seaboard railway for
alleged injuries sustained while em
ployed as a fireman on an engine, and
asks $7,500 in compensation therefor.
H. Pittman is also a plaintiff
against the Seaboard, and seeks to re
cover $20,000 for alleged personal In
jury sustained.
A case of more than usual interest
will be that of Mr. Frank J. Payne
against the Seaboard, wherein he seeks
to recover the sum of $5,000 for per
sonal injury resulting from a collision
between his automoible and an engine
cf the defendant company, which oc
curred cm. Christmas evening last.
The accident occurred at the Jack
son street crossing, and is recalled by
the public. Mr. R. S. Cooper and Mr.
R. S. Freeman, who were with Mr.
Payne in his car, and were also injur
ed, are plaintiffs against the compan- -
as well, asking $5,000 each for inju
ries sustained.
Joe Watts, a negro car coupler in
the Central railway yards here, seeks
to recover $2,000 for alleged personal
injuries sustained while coupling
cars.
Noah Prince asks S3OO damages of
the Americus Gas and Electric Co. for
injuries received while coming in con
tact with a guy wire. This is a mod
ern interpretation of Noah and the arc
—light.
Mary Coleman also wants damages
of the same corporation for the death
of her husband, George Coleman, esti
mating the amount at $7,500. Coleman
got a shock from a sputtering wire,
, which it was said at the time he touch
ed to see if it really was “live.”
It was.
These cases, together with the usual
large docket of civil and misdemeanor
cases, will keep the court busy during
! several weeks, although Judge Harper
has disposed of considerable civil bus
| ir.ess already,
MAYOR LOWREY HELD UP

Mayor M. M. Lowrey, chief execu

* light had failed”—but the cop did, and
hence the case made.

FOOTBALL NOT

Rulemahers Look For Few
Accidents on Gridiron
New York. Sept. 18.—Footbath au
thorities predict that there will be
fewer football casualties this season
than ever before since the game was
invented. Last year the new rules
worked so effectively that there wee
no accidents that attracted much at
tention, and no fatalities. The rule
makers were delighted. This fall the
rules will be ever more strictly en
forced, so none of the big colleges will
De justified in sending out long hos
pital lists just before the star games
of the year. The old alibi will have
to be laid away on the shelf.
This is a good thing. Football as
played at Yale, Harvard, Princetor,
Pennsylvania, Cornell, West Point,
Annapolis, and nearly all of the
American colleges is strictly an Ameri
can game. It is far more interesting
(at least to Americans) than the Eng
lish Rugby. The existence of the
game was once threatened by the large
number of gridiron accidents. Thes %
fortunately, seem to have been elim
inated.
VETERAN GRIZZLY
WILL BE SACRIFICED FOR
PLEASURE OF PRINCE
They Make It Certain That
Prince on Trip Will
Bag One Bear
Cody, Wyo., Sept. 18. —The Prince of
Monaco, who is nimroding around
the once wooly west, i 3 going to bag
one honest-to-goodness bear, accord
ing to reports of preparations for his
hunt with Buffalo Bill.
In a cabin up on a certain mountain
side there is said to be an ancient
grizzly. He has been in captivity since
Hayes ran against Tilden, and is af
fected with every ailment that physi
cians can name from acute hangnai's
tc galloping rheumatism.
It is bruited about that Old Pete, as
the bear is called, is being saved for
the gunpowder of the prince.
Providing the party doesn’t have any
luck, Pete will be planted out some
where—probably hitched to a stake—
and the roulette king will have the
first five shots. One trapper who
knows Pete’s habits has advised that
a piece of sugar be tied on the end of
the royal rifle so that the old bear
will be sure to go to his reward in a
swift and painless manner.

Chicago, Sept. IS —There are a few
