BIG DAMAGE SUIT.
w. r. Bottle Brings Suit for $4,000
DAMAGES.

Through his attorneys Conley and Con-
ley w. F. Bolts damage suit in the dis
trict court yesterday afternoon in which
he seeks 10 recover from Henry Schnitz-
Ter and julius Walter, the defendants,
SIS 900 because of injuries received on the
evening of May T. when he was struck by
a falling derrick, which was being used in
the construction of the new hotel building
at the corner Of Waco and Douglas
avenues.
In his petition the plaintiff states that
Henry Schnitzler is the owenr of the
building and that julius Walters is the
contractor who is doing the work on it.
He states that he was walking past the
building about $50 on the evening Of May
7, and that a large derrick which was
used in the construction OF the building
fell striking him in the back, knocking
hi mdown and bruising and straining his
back. He states that he was otherwise
scratched and bruised and that he suf-
fered injuries from the accident. He furth-
re states that he received external in
juries that confined him TO his bed for
a period Of thirty days and forever dis
abled him. He stated that he was put to
the expense of medical aid to the amount
of s25, asks damages to the amount OF
$4,000 and costs. In his petition the de-
plaintiff charges gross neglect and care
lessness upon the part of the defendant
because the derrick was not properly
anchored. He states that it was twenty
five feet in height and was heavy, being
constructed of wood and iron.
