"A suit has been filed In the district
court in Burlington In which L. M.
Hartley claims s1,125,66 damages OF
the Peoples Gas & Electric Co., of this
city. Hartley, who is a farmer living
near Hcughton, Lee county, Iowa,
states in his petition that on October
20, 1912, he, together with his daugh.
ter and his chauffeur, Bob Wire, was
enroute in his automobile to a farm
which he owns twelve miles north OF
Burlington. At the corner Of North
Ninth and Oak streets a cement mixer,
which the plaintiff AYERS was owned by
the defendant, blocked the passage
causing the chauffeur to back the car
onto the street railways tracks Just
at the moment a street car, which was
running sthe plaintiff chains. at a rate
OF speed in excess of the city ordin-
ance, appeared. The view, 1t is al
legged, of the chauffeur was obstructed
by the cement mixer and collision
ensued in which Mr.. Hartley claims his
car was damaged to the extent OF
s6o5.GG. that being the amount of the
bill, which the Hawkeye garage rem
dered' fortrepairs.A HeNalso claims that
his car was out of commission for a
period of twenty-six days and he asks
$40 day for the time he was deprived
Of its use.
