ASKS $1,000 DAMAGES FOR LEFT
EYE FROM c. G. & \. RAILROAD
Frank Oliver, former section fore
man on the C. G. & y. railroad, near
Oak Ridge, yesterday filed a suit for
$4,000 damages against the railroad
fOr the loss of the sight of his left
eye, which resulted from wound in
flicted when chisel was shattered
and several pieces of steel were
thrown into his eye.
The action is brought against the
railroad and j. w. Fristoe, receiver
and is based on the failure of the road
to furnish Oliver with the proper ma
terials with which to work.
The accident occurred last August,
when Oliver was cutting a piece OF
steel rail with cold chisel. He struck
the chisel with his hammer and. not
being tempered properly, is alleged to
have been splintered. Four or five of
the small pieces of steel entered DIV
er's eye, passing through the lid.
After the accident Oliver was taken
to Oak Ridge and treated by DR.. John
|. Ellis and later was taken to the
Cape for an examination by a COM
pany doctor.
Efforts to save the sight of the eye
were in vain, and in recent weeks, the
petition asserts, Oliver had been cx-
periencing much pain in the right eye,
as result Of the condition of the left
optic, it is asserted.
Mr.. Oliver claims that he was max
ing $50 month as section foreman
and track laborer, and has been put
to considerable expense in having the
eye treated. He is married and has
a family.
