The city of Waterloo wins in
the supreme court in the case where
in William Walters is plaintiff, and
which resulted favorable to the
plaintiff in the district court, Judge
Blair presiding. This was a case
where Mr.. Waters, through his at
torneys, Reed & Tuthill, asked for
damages against the city for two
falls upon the sidewalk, one on
Bridge street where his hearing was
impaired and other injuries sus-
tanned, and the other on Chestnut
street, where Mr.. Waters received
an injury to an eye which necessi-
tated the removal of the member
later. The damages ava ded by
the jury were $4,000. The city APP

is reversed. The contention Of the
plaintiffs attorneys was that the first
fall was the approximate cause Of
the second. and it was probably on
this point that the reversal was
made.-Waterloo Courier.
