 Settlement of the claim of William M. Swan against the estate of Frank B. Newton, an action in which com pensation under the employers lia- lility act for injuries sustained were
 demanded, was made yesterday af-
 ternoon following a hearing before Commissioner George B. Chandler.
 The commissioner was not required to render a decision, the negro agreeing
 to settle his action on payment of
 s1.72s the value of his services for
 two days.
 Swans claim was disputed by rep
 1esentatives of the estate on the grounds that he went to work within ten days after he was hurt, thus for feiting his rights under the compen- sation law. Swan was injured while
 unloading bales of hay from car at
 the freight depot. He was given
 medical treatment by Dr. J. S. Tanner,
 who was among the witnesses at the
 hearing yesterday.
 During the hearing it developed
 that the negro had worked for the
 estate but two days and it was further
 claimed that he was employed by
 others a few days after he was hurt The parties interested got together after the testimony was presented and
 the settlement resulted.
