of East Moline, H., was awarded
"a, 375. 80 in damages from the McCook
County Fair association, last night by
a jury in the federal court, for injuries
sustained while on the fair grounds at
Salem.
Siebke claimed that he was injured
while In the grand stand at the fair
grounds of the association in Salem,
September s, 1910. He claimed that
. ball player who was batting balls in
front of the grand stand. threw his bat
into the crowd and that it struck him
on the head. crushing a hole in the
skull. he contended that he is still
suffering from the effects of the injury
and had physicians testify as to his
condition.
He based his claim for damages on
the fact that the association had not
provided the grand stand with o screen
to guard the patrons from balls or bats
and that the batter was standing too
close to the grand stand.
The case was tried in McCook county
circuit court sometime ago and the as
ISOLATION won. r. W. Parliman, at
torney for Siebke. moved for a new
trial in the circuit court. He secured
it and then dismissed the ease there and

suit was for $40, 498. so.
The trial of the case has occupied the
time of the court for two days.
