the District Commissioners for injuries
to the foot Of little Stewart Smith,
whose foot and ankle were injured sew

The little fellow was playing with a
companion at the time, and. being of a
loving disposition, went up behind one
Of his little girl friends to kiss her As
he was about to put his arm around her
waist, she stepped back, not knowing
that he was there. and he was forced
backward, catching his foot in the open
trap. Despite the efforts of physicians
and others. II was impossible to cxtrf-
cate the foot until the trap was dug up
and broken from around the little limb.
The child suffered extreme pain. and has
since been under the care Of DR.. Wade
Atkinson.
The claim was filed by Mr.. Walter P.
PIumIey. who has been retained by the
father Of the child as counsel His let
ter to the Commissioners is as fol-
lows:
q write to inform you that on the 9th
day Of July the infant child Of my eli
ent. Mr. Hugh Smith, had his foot and
ankle seriously injured By being caught
in q defective water trap situated in the
pavement on Twelfth Street opposite the
Raleigh Hotel.
"One of the bones in the ankle and
foot Of the little child. who is only enc
year old, was dislocated or wrenched out
of place, the child suffering great T.ain,
and has been. and still is. a great care
and charge TO its parents
My client claims, in consequence Of
said injuries, he has suffered considera-
bic Joss and damage. but as a compro-
mise of this matter he IS willing TO ac-
cept the sum Of $500. Therefore I ask
that you will give this case your careful
consideration, and allow ny client the
said sam of $500. that litigation and IN
necessary costs may be avoided"
