Dallas, Or, Dec. 21.-Mrs Laura NJ.
Barham, wife of A. j. Barham, of this
city, has through her attorney, B. A.
Kliks, of McMinnville, filed suit
against DR.. L. A. Bolman, one of the
most prominent physicians of tais city,
asking for damages to the extent of
1880. Mrs. Braham alleges in her com
plant that the doctor gave her an in.
correct diagnosis of the case under his
care and that he was unskillful in his
practice. Mrs Barham was injured in
a fall at her home on Court street last
March and she alleges tnat the doctor
diagonized the injury other than what
it was and that he treated her for
period of about two months for O
trouble she alleges did not exist. As a
result Of the alleged unskilled practice
the plaintiffs arm was paralyzed to the
finger tips and she claims that even
now after treating with specialists the
trouble has not been entirely cured.
The case promises to be one of interest
as both parties are well known in this
vicinity.
Among the expenses that are listed
in the complaint are those of medical
treatment, nursing and domestic help
since the right arm became practically
useless.
