$4,000 SUIT FOR A 4-yEAR- OLD.

Because Of Injuries.

Special to Times" Republican.
Davenport, Dec. 27.-One OF the
largest claims for damages ever filed
in Iowa is sought to be collected in a
suit for $4,000 against railway COM
pany.
Little Elmer Wright. years of age,
was standing about thirty feet from
the D. r. 1. & N W. railroad tracks
near the turn onto the long trestle
that leads to the Crescent bridge, when
an engine passed over railroad tor
pedo that had been placed on the track
for signalling purposes, and meta!
fragment of the torpedo struck him
and injured him so grievously that his
mother has brought suit in his behalf
for 100000 against the railroad COM
pany The suit was filed today. The
action is brought by Attorneys Ely &
Bush.
The accident that constitutes the ba-
sis for the present suit occurred last
August. Little Elmer whose home is
in the neighborhood where the acciden.
occurred was playing near the tracks.
Just as the engine went by he was
struck in the head and in the knee, tho
it was not realized at first what had
caused the injury. The injury to the
knee proved the worse, and it was
later discovered that large piece of
metal was imbedded in the knee near
the cap. The metal was clearly iden-
titled as piece of railroad torpedo,
the explosion of which was heard at
the time the injury was sustained The
leg has become permanently injured
and useless, it is claimed.
The petition claims that the agents
or servants of the railroad company
negligently placed the torpedo upon
the track close to the lad knowing
that he was liable to be injured by

Waterloo, Dec. PA Christmas re-
union with his uncle was the glad sur

who came to Iowa from England a
year ago to find his relative, from
whom he has been separated all this
time by only few counties. The
nephew left his home across the sea
twelve months ago, without the knowl-
edge of his parents, intending to find
his uncle who lived in Iowa. When
he landed at New York he forgot
where his relative lived, and having a
little money, started west. Instead OF
getting off at Waterloo, he continued
to Cherokee and went to work on
farm. Several weeks ago he wrote to
his parents and relieved their anxiety.
They in turn told him where Acker-
man the elder resided, and the Christi
mas reunion was the result.

DlsBARMENT CASE DISMISSED.
Action Against Lawyer Woodson, Of
Abba, withdrawn.


Abba, Dec. 27.-The disbarment pro-
.ceedings against George H. Woodson,
the colored attorney, was very short
affair. Woodson easily won out and
cleared away all charges against him.
He had been charged with inducing
witnesses some time ago to leave the
country. The state signally failed to
substantiate its case. The defense filed
a motion that dispositions be not al
lowed as evidence. The motion of the
state to postpone the case because all
their witnesses except one had left
the stateswas overruled. The state was
then unable to go on with the case and
moved that it be dismissed.
1t seems that the state relied upon
the dispositions and when they were
knocked out found itself unable to get
the witnesses in time to proceed with
the case and was compelled to dismiss
it.
The defense was represented by S.
