visions Of the Charter aud
wait Nay ne Long.

Within two days three damage claims
which aggregate S22.5OO have been filed

about the filing Of these claims and that is
that in each instance the twenty-day clause
has been overlooked by the attorneys max
ing the filings.

mark duly a%ttested. asked for $1,000 for the
breaking of one Of the bones in her right
wrist.
Yesterday Clerk shrigley had two cases
20 deal with. The FIRST was filed by Gustave
Ruge. The complainant asserts that he
works in a packing house and that while
going to his work on the morning Of Oc-
tober 4, 1902. he fell of the sidewalk at
Eighteenth and q streets and sustained in
juries on the leg, hip and knee. He fur
Their asserts that his injuries are liable
to become permanent. Therefore a claim
against the city is filed. In concluding his
statement Ruge says that he is willing to
settle with the city for ST, 900 in cash and
no less.
Then there is the claim Of James
Schneider, who was injured at Twentieth
and p streets on the night Of December
% by falling on an icy sidewalk. In fall
ing Schneider received a severe cash in
the back Of his head besides a number OF
bruises. He asks for $4,000 Of the city's
money.
In speaking of these claims Clerk Shrig-
