NECESSARY FOR CITIES.
Streets Should Be Given Proper At
tention In Every Detail.

However well a city may be planned,
its avenues laid out and its parks pro-
yided in liberality, it will fail of realiz-

streets are properly embellished, kept
clear of nuisances and given proper at

Such establishment consists, among
other features, of bOulevards, esplan-

designed electroliers, trolley poles and

makes up the impression given by the

treatment of small structures or other
objects is likely TO destroy the whole

CARL F. EIBERCER
Wins BIG DAMAGES

The jury sitting onthe case of
Carl F. Eiberger VS.. the A. T. &
S. F. railroad, occupied less than
t half an hours actual time in de-
liberation, when it returned a
verdict for S25, 416. 90 in favor of
the plaintiff at Prescott last
week. The verdict was unani-
nous.
Argument by counsel for both
sides together with Judge Smith S
instructions to the jury, occupied
practically an entire afternoon,
and eliminated one of the hard
est fights in the history of the
Yavapai county superior court.
Seven full days were consumed
by the attorneys, who examined
and cross-examined, wrangled
and quarreled, joshed aud made
merry, and all and all, figured in
one of the most interesting suits
in the caurt's record.
Contributory negligence on the
part of Eiberger, was alleged by
the defense. They maintained
that his misfortune was directly
due to his failure to follow the
spstem outlined by tho road. Wit
ness after witness was placed on
the stand and submitted testi-
mony to show that the unfortu-
nate emplope had only himself to
blame. The jury was not to be
convinced, and in less than thir-
ty minutes had returned their
verdict for the plaintiff. An ap-
peal of the case will be taken by
the Santa Fe.
Eiberger is we'll known in this
city, having at one time been a
fireman on the road. Later he
went to Seligman, where he
worked as switchman.
In April of last year, while at
work he was knocked off the en-
gine and his left leg run over. 1t
was SO badly crushed and broken
that shortly after his arrival at
the company hospital in Los An
geles, it was found necessary to
amputate the injured member be-
low the knee. He left the hos
pital after a year, and went to

side, ito make his home,

BRAKEMAN HOLT
INJURED At AZTEC

Brakeman Fred Holt, of the
End. district, suffered badly
isprained ankle Wedn esday, when
ne fell from the top of a furn-
lture car, as the train was TAX
ing siding at Aztec. Holt was
not severely injured considering
the fall he had, and is fortunate
that his injuries are not more Sc
we're.
The train, in charge of Con-
ductor Houghton was taking the
siding at Aztec, and was not 60
ing more than two miles an hour.
Holt was walking over the train
with a bucket of water. He was
IN the act Of climbing down the
side OF the furniture car, when
the engineer opened the throttle,
taking the slack. The jar loos-
ened Holt's grip and he fell to
the ground.
First aid treatment was given
the injured man at Adamana.
DR.. Brown was notified and met
Holt on his arrival in Winslow
on No, /. He was properly at
tended to here, and sent on to
the company hospital in Los An
geles. With the good care and
attention he will receive there,
it will only be a matter of a short
time before he will be back on
the job again.
