CITY VICTOR IN THE
LITTIG DAMAGE SUIT
Appellate Court Holds That There Was
No Negligence, as AIIeg-
ed.

In the announcement of the recent
batch of decisions of the appellate
court, Second district, it was erroneous
ly stated that the verdict of the Rock
Island county branch of the circuit
court in the suit of Mrs Mary Littig.
of this city. against the city of Rock
Island. in which she was given damages
for 1898 for injuries received in falling
on a defective sidewalk, had been sus-
tanned.
J. X. Scott, states attorney. who. in
the capacity of city attorney. defended
the suit, this morning received from
the clerk of the appellate court a copy
of the courts ruling. which reverses
the verdict of the circuit court, adding
that there was no negligence on the
part of the city. as alleged by the plain
tiff. For this reason, the opinion reads.
the case is not remanded. Mrs. Littig
was injured in a fall at Fifth avenue
and Twenty-sixth street May %. 1902.
