Reports from the upper Mississippi

ly speaking, summer is still some
time away, and that in some sections
there is still some snow on the
ground. although the hauling is at
an end. The lakes and most of the
streams are still frozen. and it will
be three or four weeks before driving
is done on them. a few of the
streams are beginning to thaw ont,
and some logs may be started on

The herald., 1894-01-11
says HIS LEG WAS SHORTENED
Oris0n Bryant Brings Suit for
a Large Amount,
And Accuses Three Doctors OF
Malpractice.
A Case Which IL Exciting Considerable
Interest Among tho Medical Fra
ternity-rhe County Hospital
Again in Court.

About a dozen eminent legal lights
occupied seats in Judge Clark's court
room yesterday as attorneys in the case
OF Orison G. Bryant VS.. Drs. Kuhrtz,
Brainerd and Murphy, suit for $4,000
damages for alleged malpractice.
The plaintiff declares in his complaint
that while engaged in repairing roof,
during last October. he slipped and fell,
sustaining fracture of his right leg
between the knee and hip joint, break
ing the femur bone. He alleges that
through the carelessness and mslprsc-
tice of the defendants his leg was short
ened and rendered practically useless.
The plaintiff was represented by Cole
y Cole, while Henry Gage represented
DR.. Kuhrts, S. G. Hubbell DR.. Brainerd,
and Variel and Davis DR.. Murphy.
The greater part of the day was occu-
pied in selecting q jury, the plaintiff
taking the witness stand at 4 O'Clock.
He declared that after having had his
broken limb set at the receiving hospi-
tai, he was taken to the county hospi-
tai, where he saw Doctors Murphy and
Brainard. Chloroform was admins
tered to him, and preparations made to
set his leg. The last the witness re-
membered was hearing DR.. Kuhrtz ex-
plain the character of the fracture to his
medical class he then relspsed into un-
consciousness.
Shortly afterwards the court ad-
journed until this morning.
