is NOT ENTITLED TO DAMAGES
JUDGE RoEsER SAYS JAMES
G0oDMAN's INJURIES ARE
DUE TO DISEASE

Judge J. A. Roeser Of st. Cloud has
handed down dicision in the case Of
James Goodman VS.. The Hennepin
Paper company of this city, in which
he holds that the plaintiff is not entit-
led to damages. The judge had taken
the case under advisement from the
last term Of court.
The plaintiff started an action in
district court here for $1,000 damages
under the workmen's compensation
act, for injuries which he alleged he
sustained when he was given work
which he was physically unable to per-.
form.
In his decision the judge stated that
the plaintiff was not entitled to any
damages as it had been shown that the
injuries were due to a certain disease,
from which he had suffered for some
time, and therefore did not constitute
an action against the company.
