NIauch Chunk Items.

There was good deal Of talk last week
about the case Of F. G. Kline against the
borough of Mauch Chunk. Mr.. Kline fell
on the crossing at Race and Susquehanna
streets, in February of last year and broke
his wrist and otherwise hurt himself. He
sued the borough for damages; and the case
came before arbitrators on Friday last. After
full hearing they awarded Mr.. Kline $4,000.
| The amount is not considered large when it
is remembered that Mr.. Kline was perma-
nently injdred by the accident The arbi-
traitors were all lawyers, ,Messrs. j. r. Struth-
ers, Joseph Kalbfus and Hon. W. M. Rap
sher. The case against the borough is con-
sldered a strong one, and there is no doubt
but that if the case IS appealed to the Court,
larger amount will be obtained.
