SUIT FOR $4,000 DAMAGES
FILED BY HAVEN HAMMOND

Haven Hammond of this place
has filed suit for $4,000 against
H. F. Spilker of Perrysburg, o. Pc
tition states that on Sept. 27, 1880,
while in the employ of w. J. Ell.
liott, plaintiffs work required him
to drive and operate a light Chev-
rolet truck, and that while driving
on McConnelsville-Ne Lexington
road, state highway No. 81, and
while descending long hill three
miles east of Portersville, the truck
driven by him was suddenly and
without warning struck in the rear
by large heavy Mack truck owned
by defendant, and which truck was
heavily loaded with crushed stone
The force of impact was so great
that the Chevrolet truck was car
ried and pushed forward across the
end of side road that intersected
highway No. 81, and through and
over a fence, distance of about
200 feet, when the Mack truck be-
came disengaged from Chevrolet
truck and ran further through a
field, distance of from rs to 100
feet, where it ran against stump
of tree, and came to stop. Pc
tition states that the striking and
colliding was due to carelessness,
negligence, recklessness, and un-
lawful conduct of the agent and
servant of defendant, and without
fault on part of nlaintiff, and that
the Chevrolet truck was struck with
such force that the plaintiff was
seriously injured. Mr. Hammond

portion of the brain to come out,
and that some of the brain had to
be removed; also that the nasal
bones were broken and torn loose
from his head; bones above, around
and back of the left eye were crush.
