A curious damage suit was filed the
other day in a Kansas court. The
plaintiff, who lives in lola, is wo-
man. She alleges that she ran sew
ing machine needle into the thumb
of her right hand, and that she went
to a doctor of the town for relief.
The doctor gave her chloroform, and
when she "came to-" informed her that
he had cut the needle out. She went
away satisfied, but for several weeks
her thumb remained sore, and Mt last
she went to another surgeon, VINO
found that the needle had not been
removed at all. And for this deceit
on the part of the first doctor the
young woman asks $500 damages.
