BABE SEEKING
Big DAMAGES
Valid Baby, Born Through
Caesarian Operation,
Sues Company.
MOTHER WAS KILLED

An echo of the recent automobile
accident at the Johnson crossing Of
the Northwestern Railway on the Lake
Shore Road, when Mrs. Morris Valid
was killed but her baby was saved
by 'Caesarian operation, was heard
this morning when it was learned that
the baby now one month old, Rachel
Valid, through her father, Morris VALID,
as guardian ad Item, had brought
suit in the circuit court of Milwaukee
against the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company for $25. 900 dam
ages for injuries received before birth.
The motorists who were in this ac-
cident were returning from Fort Sher-
idan to their home in Milwaukee and
had stopped for short time in Keno
sha less than an hour before the fatal
accident occurred.
Is Interesting Suit.
The action is the first of the kind
ever filed in the courts of Wisconsin,
and will attract much interest be-
cause Of the various legal points to be
raised. The baby's mother was in
jured the evening of January so, 1921,
when the automobile in which she
was riding was struck by a passenger
train on the Northwestern road at
Johnson's crossing. The injured
woman was removed to St. Mary's
hospital in Racine where she died from
a fractured skull, but the life of the
child was saved through a Caesarian
operation, performed shortly after
death.
The damages are asked for the in
juries received in being born in an
unnatural manner, the effect of the
mothers fright on the child and for
the loss of the care and attention of
the mother.
Other Suits Filed.
In addition to the amount of $685.
coo damages asked for the infants
action, $4,000 is asked by other oc-
cupants of the automobile in suits
brought against the railway com
pany. Morris Valid asks for dam
ages for personal injuries in the
amount of SIS 900; Dora Wald, S1o,-
coo; Clara Baranoff, $4,000 and Unis
Kader, $4,000.
The automobile party was returning
from Fort Sheridan where they had
passed the day with relative. On
the return trip home, Morris Wald.
who was driving the automobile failed
to see passenger train approaching
from the south and also failed to see
signals of the crossing tender. The
locomotive struck the automobile,
throwing it considerable distance
and completing wrecking it. Although
there were seven people in the auto,
Mrs. Valid was the only one fatally in

American Sculptors
Will Sculp Cowboys
South America Wants American Sculp-
tors to Present Ideas on Unique
Monument.

Washington American sculptors
have been invited by the Uruguayan
government through the Pan-Ameri-
can Union here to submit designs for
a statue of the "Gaucho" or South
American cowboy, to be erected in the
principal plaza of Montevideo in com
m em Grafton in the part played by these
intrepid frontiersmen in the develop
ment Of Uruguay The prize offered is
$4,000 pesos, gold, or about $62,04o in
American money.
The Uruguayan gaucho, one of the
most picturesque characters in history,
represents survival of the old Span
ish colonial days. Though he is called
the cowboy of South America, he is
more than that A horseman spending
most of his life in the saddle, he was
also rancher, trapper, hunter, pio-
neer and soldier. Although, like the
French Canadian "habitant," he was
nearly always half-breed Indian by
blood, he was actually an Indian in no
other sense of the word He did not
live as the Indians lived, but was the
pioneer of white civilization on the
pampas.
In the history of Uruguay it was the
gauchos who made up the rank and file
of the armies which fought for and
gained independence from Spain. In
agriculture, also, it was the gaucho
who led.
A jury of awards, consisting of DR.,
Elias Regules, DR.. Alexandra Gallinal,
Manuel Flores, Francisco J. Pos, Car
los A. Arocena, and two artists rep
resenting the Society of Architects and
the Circle of Fine Arts in Montevideo
will pass upon the merits of the de-
signs, for which second and third priz.
es of 1900 and 1000 pesos, gold, re.
spectively will be given.

Detective Charles Rock and Secretary
Meissner that their patient was get
ting along nicely and was in no danger
of dying and that he probably would
be able to leave the hospital in the
next ten days. Doughten showed no
hurry to get out of the hospital. The
Kenosha officers have notified the
Waukegan officials that Doughten is to
be held if he is ready to leave the
hospital and when his wound RECEIVERS
sufficiently he will be turned over 20
the police.
Meantime the police were investi-
eating the story of Doughten and fit
ting it into the facts in regard to the
shooting by Heimer.
Doughten admitted to the Kenoshs
police officers that he had on the sail
or's pea-coat at the time he was shot.
He said that the coat belonged to his
partner, Rhodes, who is now at his
home in Missouri. He did not account
for the fact that he had been wearing
itrin the shop or that he had taken il
off and hung it up on hook at the
taxicab to take him to Zion. Doughten
told the police that the bullet which
had been extracted from his back had
been sent to sister in Chicago and
efforts are now being made to have
the bullet found and brought to Keno
sha to aid the police in their investi-
cation.
No One Heard Shots at Shop.
The police have been canvassing the
places in the neighborhood of the vul-
canizing shop out on Elizabeth street
and no one has been found who heard
the shooting which was referred to in
the story told by Doughten after he
entered the hospital. Doughten evil
IDENTIFY did not appeal to anyone to help
hims after his alleged encounter with
the holdup men and his story of the
shooting at present stands wholly on
his own word.
He told the police that when he re-
covered consciousness his first idea
was to get to his home in Zion. he
gave no description of the men who
are alleged to have entered the place.
He asserted that after the shooting
these men had evidently turned out
the lights at the shop as he found it
in darkness when he recovered con-.
seriousness.
Chief of Police Becker of Zion City
also entered the Investigation of the
story of Doughten on Monday after
noon. He spent an hour at the hospi-
tai talking with Doughten and at the
conclusion of his examination of the
man he declared that he was not con-
WINGED of the truth of his story. Beck
er said that he was making some in
vestigations at Zion in connection
with Doughten and that his investiga-
tons might be of value to the Kenosha
officials in their further effort to solve
the mystery. Heimer was to go 10
Waukegan today to make an effort to
identifv Doughten as the man he had
shot. Heimer has told the police that
it was so dark on the street where he
met the holdup men that he could not
get good look at either of them. For
this reason his visit to Doughten is
not regarded Of value.
