The following petition of Fred

To the Honorable Board Of Super
viSorS of Wood County, Wisconsin;
The petition of Fred Jones Of the
town of Auburndale in said county
respectfully shows to your hOnOred
body that in the year 1895 he was the
town chairman Of the town Of Auburn
dale: that about the 18th day of
August, 1895, Albert PanzIaff. a boy
about thirteen (13) years old, whose
fathers name was Albert PanZlaff and
resided in said town, said boy was in
jured by falling from load of oats
dStride stump and thereby caused an
abSCeSS OF the uretha close to the neck
of the bladder. The father of said
boy was very poor but secured a doc
tor to come and look at the boy, and
: when the doctor found that there was
no prospect Of getting any pay for his
services on account Of the poverty of
the father, he refused to treat the
case; the father then came to me for
assistance, as chairman Of said town.
and claimed that unless his boy had
help he would be dead before night as
he had not passed any urine for
tWenty-fOur hours. [ gave the father
a letter directed to a physician, W. II.
Bulge Of MarShtield, wherein [ asked
DR.. Bulge to treat the case and guar
, anteed to DR.. Bulge that his services
in treating the boy would be paid an
, operation was performed upon the boy
by said DR.. Bulge. the uretha cut
, open and a silver catheter passed into
the bladder and allowed to remain
until the uretha had nearly healed:
that it was necessary to the welfare
of the patient that he be treated with
great diligence and the doctor visited
him daily for over forty days. That
through the efforts Of said doctor and
by and on account Of the services of
said doctor, the boy recovered from
his injuries and is now alive, sound
and we'll: that the bill of said doctor
W. Fl. Bulge for said services amounts
to the sum of S1l9: that, on the 9th
day of May, 1898, said ". Fl. Bulge
recovered Judgment against me for
the sum of S123.20, damages and costs
on account Of said services, before
William Hirth, justice of the peace
of said county, residing at the city of
Marshtield, which judgment your petit
toner will be obliged to pay: that
!, Immediately after sending said boy to
said DR.. Bulge, your petitioner called
upon G. S. Fedder, one of the poor
commissioners for Wood county, and
said poor commissioner informed your
petitioner that the county would de-
fray the expenses of the treatment of
said boy. DR.. Bulge filed his claim
for said services with the county
} board at its regular meeting in No
!, vember, 1895, the same was rejected
for the reason that the same was not
0 Ked by the said poor commissioner
G. S. Vedder, as he had agreed with
J your petitioner to do. That said boy
is not related to your petitioner in
any way. That said boy, at the time
: he was being treated as aforesaid, was
kept at st. JOseph's hospital in the
city of MarShtield, and the hospital
bill was diSallOwed at the November
term of the county board for 1895 on
, account Of not having been OKed by
said poor commissioner. That at a
subsequent meeting Of said board said
hospital bill was again presented and
allowed.
Your petitioner verify believes that
in case he had not taken the action
he did in procuring treatment for said
boy said boy would not have lived
