asthma. About 2:45 p. m on that day
he boarded a King street ear at Mel
rose station, when the conductor imme-
diately demanded his fare. While he

five cents-this was near Victoria
strickland while the car was in mo-
ton, the complaint runs, the conductor
tripped, threw, hurled, knocked and
precipitated plaintiff from said moving
car to the street beneath. -
In consequence of this fling bingham
says his left rib was fractured, his left
foot and leg above the ankle were
bruised and confused. also his back,
with the muscles and ligaments there
of, was made greatly sick, sore and
lame His injuries occasioned his
detention in the Queen S Hospital from
May 9TH till June 10th, costing him
$3.50. Then he lost his wages of 1925
a day as a machinist at the Honolulu |
Iron Works from May 8th to June
goth, to his damage in the sum of |
$199.75. He said he would be long
time prevented from pursuing his bust !
ness. On account of all these injuries
damages are asked as stated.
