There was lengthy cabinet meet

COMPANY SETTLES
SHERVEN'S CLAIMS
Man Injured in Trench While at
Work for City Receivers in
Full Amount Asked

Edwin Sherven, laboring man in
this city was made happier Monday
when he received $1,000 from the
Maryland Casualty Co. in full settle
ment for injuries he received in this
city last December.
Sherven was one Of the crew which
dug in the trenches near tre N. P. de-
pot last December when the city con-
nected its water works to the depot.
He was at the bottom of the trench
when it caved in and the clods peited
him on the head and back, seriously
injuring him and laying him up for a
long time. He brought suit against
the bonding company under the work
ingmen's compensation act and the
city officials of Morris were included
when the papers were served. After
considerable delay and much CORE
spondence the company decided to
settle Sherven's claims in full
without appearing in court. Monday
the company sent the money to
Sherven's s attorney, Thomas Mangan,
who notified SherVen, and the matter
was closed.

Auto and Bicycle Collide

John Burpee had thrilling exper-
ience at the corner of Atlantic avenue
and Sixth street about six O'Clock
Saturday night when he collided with
an automobile as he came down the
street on his bicycle. His wheel was
demolished and he was picked off and
carried on the front of the car for
some distance Aside from a thorough
shaking up and scare the boy escaped
without injury.
Burpee came down the street with
two companions each on a wheel.
He was riding in the center and failed
to notice the approaching car in time
to avoid the accident. His panions
dashed to each side and as Burpee at.
tempted getaway his wheel was
caught and his body lifted onto the car
front. He managed to cling to the
sides of the car till the chauffeur stop
ped. The accident was witnessed by
a large number of people who say
Burpee's escape with his life or with
out injury was nothing short of mir
acle.
The car was driven by man from
