The case of DR.. 81. G. Cooney
against the village of Princeton, in
which he sued to recover 81, 100 for
injuries to himself and horse result
ing from the negligence of the de-
PENDANT, was tried on Monday and
the jury awarded the plaintiff the sum
OF 1925 and costs. E. L. Mcmillan
represented the plaintiff and Royal
A. Stone and G. A. Dickey the viii
lage. The facts in the case are as
follows: While DR.. Cooney, accom-
panied by nurse, was on his way to
answer an emergency call early on
the morning of May 20 at F. G.
Caters residence, his horse ran
amuck of a wagon which had been
carelessly left in the road by an en-
ploye of the village near L. S.
Briggs residence. The night was
pitch dark and when the horse struck
the wagon it's legs we're forced by the
impact on top of'the vehicle and be-
came so entangled that it was found
necessary to cut the harness to pieces
in order to extricate the animal from
it's situation. L. S. Briggs and F. G.
Cater assisted DR.. Cooney in
releasing the horse. DR.. Cooney
and the nurse we're both thrown
out of the buggy by the impact
of the collision. The doctor re-
ceived severe sprain of an ankle
and of the right hand and the nurse
was also injured, while the horse sus-
tanned cuts and bruises. DR.. Cooney
brought the case to the attention of
the village council and offered to
settle for the sum of $500, which upon
its face shows clearly that he was
willing to do the square thing, but the
council refused to consider the propo-
sition and engaged an expensive firm
of St. Paul attorneys, Young,
O'Brien & Stone, to assist the village
attorney in defending the suit which
DR.. Cooney brought for damages.
Hence the expense incurred by the
village will doubtless be much more
than had it accepted DR.. Cooney's
proposition. While the amount
awarded by the jury in the case does
not begin to cover the financial loss
sustained by the plaintiff, it is a
victory for DR.. Cooney and should
prove an object lesson to the village
council.
