J. F. Weber, Young Man Who Was
so Badly Scalded at Power
House, is the Plaintiff.
HURT EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO.
Injuries Supposed to be Permanent
Weber is Still in Mercy
Hospital.
HURT EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO.

A case was filed this morning in
district court in which J. F. Weber
is plaintiff and the City of Webster
City defendant. Weber is asking for
$4,000 damages on account of the
permanent injuries he received while
in the employ of the city at the elec-
trio light plant.
The accident occurred on May
18th, 1912, while Weber was engin-
eer at the plant and was caus-
ed by heater ESQ the petition
claims) becoming full of water and
the full pressure of steam from the
boilers forced the water into the
heater, placing too much pressure on
the heater, exploding it. The petit
tion alleges that the plaintiff was an
engineer in the employ of the city
and was operating what is known as
a heater which is used to heat the
water to be used in the boilers. The
"oICi 40 hCatSu w CAAouot 9lCahi {,
the water being obtained from the
city mains and in part from two au-
tomato traps which accumulated the
condensed steam from the city
heating system and from the engines
of electric light plant. That the
water was forced from the traps in
to heater by live steam injected
from the boilers. That when the
heater became full of water, which it
sometimes did, from the automatic
traps, the heater was subject to the
full pressure of steam from the boil
ers which had been forcing the wat
er through the traps. That this made
the heater dangerous and necessitat-
ed letting the water out, or at least
some of it, from the heater. as there
was no safety valve or device on the
heater to regulate the water level.
The plaintiff also claims that the
heater was of faulty construction.
that at the time of the accident the
heater became filled and clogged
with water and that he was standing
at water faucet close by the heat
er when it exploded, and was thrown
to the floor with the heater on top
pinning him to the floor, when
he was burned and scalded by the
hot water and steam, injuring him
so severely that he will be perma-
nently crippled for life. That he has
been in the hospital in this city for
eighteen months, continually under
doctors care, and it will be more
than six months longer before he
can be removed. That the steam and
hot water have made great sores on
his body which have refused to heal
and asks that he be given Judgment
against the city in the sum OF
s20,0e0.

Pavement Cracking.

This cool weather is putting some
big cracks in the asphaltic concrete
paving put down last year The
cracks are even more pronounced
than those that appeared during the
severe cold weather of last winter.
All of last years asphaltic pavement
's cracking, but the more pronounc-
ed cracks seem to be on Boone street.

POTATO Thief is
NABBED BY POLICE
Steals Tubers from Car in Mil
waukee Yards and Attempts
to Sell Them.

Charged with the theft of two bush
els Of potatoes from cars in the C. NJ.
& st. P. railroad yards, John Lane,
formerly employed at the Linwood
stone quarries, was this morning
bound over to the grand jury under
$500 bonds on a larceny charge.
Saturday afternoon Lane entered
the Gould restaurant, 1923 Second ave-
nue., and asked the proprietor if he
was in the market for some fine po-
tatoes. Upon receiving an affirma-
tive reply, he borrowed a gunny sack
and returned with a bushel of them
a few minutes later. He started out
TO get second load, but on the re-
turn trip was nabbed by the police
Lane claims that a car had been bFok-
en- open and that several people were
carrying away the precious tubers in
pals and sacks. He said he was in
toxicated at the time and was not re-
sponsible for his actions. He told
the police he did not break into
car but that the potatoes he secured
were scattered about the tracks in
Milwaukee yards. Railroad officials
denied Lanes statement, testifying

new CARS ARE
FINEST YET seen
First of Tri- City Company,s
Equipment Appears on the
Third Avenue Line.

The first of the new equipment of
pay-as-you-enter cars, for which the
Tri-City Railway company has con-
tracted 10 replace those destroyed by
fire in the Moline avenue sheds last
May, appeared yesterday on the Third
avenue line, and brought forth many
expressions Of praise. They are the
last word in up-to-date street railway
equipment There is none better. The
new cars are of two different makes,
the st. Louis Car company and the
American Car company, both of ST.
Louis. While the company specifica-
tions called for identically the same
design, the American Car company,
either through oversight on the part
of the builders or neglect of the COM
Dany's own inspector, who was on the
ground, Numbered in the end decora-
tons, and in addition to the omission
OF the pay-as-you-enter sign, did not
provide as large a reel box as the
st. Louis company, and hence the il
AOL44holCN uCS45AGIALS sigh Is HOl 81
distinct. In the end appearance the
st. Louis cars are the better, but in
the interior finish the American car
has it on its competitor. The railway
company is disappointed in the failure
of the American Car company TO car
~ out the specifications to the letter,
as it sought in view of the large addi-
ton to its equipment to have the cars
absolutely uniform in outside appear
ance. The public in general is so
pleased with the new cars, however,
that the differences will not be OBJ
served
Superintendent Huntoon today an
nounced that he had received word
that II more new cars are on the road
and accordingly he hopes TO have the
Fourth avenue line supplied by the
end of the week and soon after that
the Elm street.
Then the perambulating bird cages
that the company has perforce OF
necessity been using on the Long View
and Watch Tower lines will be perma-
nently retired and it is hoped sent to
the scrap heap.
