part Of his body. Mr.. Heymann was sever laid
| up on account Of said accident but ateefl&ed re-
| gularly to his business.
| The complaint Of injuries to his hesd seems to
! have been an afterthought on the part Of Mr..
Heymann, for as he himself testifes he felt q
headache some four (4) or five (5) days after the
| accident happened and instead Of calling in q
resident physician posted off to Milwaukee to
consult DR.. Breunig Of said City whose testimony
| is 70 the following effect: "Mr. Heymann did
not call upon me but met me accidentally in a
saloon where he asked me to prescribe for head
ache; prescribed Iodide of Potassium. Met MI
IL. in the same saloon several days after when
he told me that his head felt better; but thought
that | had better make the prescription a
little stronger l ordered the same prescription
made little stronger Mr. Heyman then told me the
story of his fall from buggy and that he would
sne the city OF Watertown for damages. Asked
me to give him certificate to the effect that his
head had been injured by said fall, which ! re-
fused as did not examine him nor did Mr..
Heymann ask me to do so. He then threatened
to have me brought az o witness in his behalf be.
fore Court unless gave him the required Certifi-
cate whereupon plainly told him that such
proceeding would be waste Of time and money
as could do him no good. Net Mr.. Heymann
at no other place except the said saloon and
only twice"
Your Committee would call attention to the
following discrepancy between the testimony of
Mr.. Heynan and DR.. Breunig: Mr.. H. testified
before your Committee that he went to Milwau-
kee three times for the purpose Of consulting DR..
Breunig; whereas the Doctor met him but twice
and only IN saloon; nor did Mr.. II. according
to DR.. Breunig's testimony 20 to Milwaukee for
the purpose of consulting him, but it rather
seemed to him an accidental meeting.
Putting the question Of liability on the port
OF the City entirely aside about which there
seems to be grave doubt your Committee con-
cluded TO offer Mr.. Heymana 500 as full pay
ment for all claims against the City which settle
ment Mr.. H. has rejected.
Your Committee would therefore recommend
that legal tender be made to Mr. Heymann in
the above sum of 500 and that upon his refusal
to accept the same; said tender to be kept as a
special deposit for his benefit.
Your Committee would further state that the
testimony taken is on file in the Clerk soffice,
