Wants Big Damages for
The Loss of His Big Toe
For one biz toe-$20, 00O.

For one big toe-$20,000.
That's what Benjamin Greenlaw,
farmland, figures that Guy L. Axtell,
farmer at Gilmore, owes him for the
loss of the member under extenuating
circumstances while employed by the
husbandman on All Fools day, 1916.
According to suit filed against Mr..
Axtell by Montgomery, Hall &
Young for Greenlaw, the plaintiff was
ordered to remove woven wire fence
on the farm and while engaged in
carrying out the orders of the farm
foreman stepped on rusty nail pro-
truding from board alongside the
fence.
More trouble arose when Greenlaw
was taken to the farm house and the
wound scared with turpentine, in
jected with syringe that had been
used for squirting serum into hogs as
an antidote against disease. Further
infection was caused and the amputa-
ton of the great toe was necessary to
prevent further poisoning of the
blood.
Greenlaw was taken to the county
hospital at the poor farm and doctors
afterward clipped more chunks of toe
from his foot. The farm hand de-
Lclares he has been incapacitated and
that he is now unable to work.
