AFTER JOHN D.
Frank BARLEY, who last week en-
tered suit in the Chicago Superior
court against the Chicago University
for 800, 900 damages, is the gentle
manly and good-natured book-keep-
er for the bank of WoodhOuse d
BARLEY of this city. Frank was at
tending business college in Mil
waukee last fall and in company
with some friends went to Chicago
to attend the Michigau-W Wisconsin
game of football. He happened to
be on the top seat Of the fimsy Sec
tion which collapsed and sustained
very bad fracture of both bones OF
leg lust below the knee. He is still
lame from the break, and undouDt-
edly is entitled to damages from the
rich institution so literally patron
lied bv Rockefeller. We hope to
see him reimbursed for the tough
experience.
