THE TYPHOID CASE:— The typhoid fever case which occupied the attention of the Adams Circuit court for six weeks and culminated in a 09,000 verdict for the plaintiff attracted much attention, owing to the fact that it was the first of its kind ever tried in the state. The Indianapolis News thus discusses the decision in an editorial in last evenings editon: — "An award of 19.000 damages in what was known as the Fort Wayne typhoid fever gerins case, seems to be out of the ordinary in municipal legal lore. A resident of Fort Wayne died of typhoid fever. A trust company which was appointed administrator oT the estate sued for 310.000 damages, alleging that the typhoid perms were in the city water as a result of a break in the Pennsylvania line’s mains, permitting raw river ‘ water to enter them: The city main tains a filtration plant and water served to consumers is presumed to be free of dangerous or deadly matter. The case was moved to Decatur, w here it was tried. "The question was largely one of proo&agud the jjjry was convinced of the truth of all the plaintiff's ma teritfl allegations. The typhoid gerre theory was upheld and the verdict established that the burden of care was on the municipality. If a city attempts to furnish pure water to its citizens it is under a legal as wel as moral obligation to see that such ' water is pure. In ths iluit the rail 1 road company was made a co-defend I ant and presumably the payment o t the damages will be divided between the company and the city. I '‘The principle is well established ( that any person who sustains an ex- ( lerual injury by reason of negligence t on the part of a municipality maj j 'collect damages in any reasonable , stun. Tht* theory that a city may be f liable for an internal injury or death | was set out. The case may be ap j pealed ami if so the final disposition , of it will be watched with interest t Dr. John N. Ihirty argued for man? | years that a city is liable for the health i of its residents, and that all munici ; polities should provide pure water improve sanitary conditions and re move anything that might be < lassi fied as a menace to health. The ver diet in this ease evidently support D". Ilnrty’s argument and may servi to urome other cities to careful con sideration of their sanitary obliga t ioim." Munday is the last day for paying la o s mil all over Indiana groans of i r<?nt<nt are heard and yet what ; i'■ we doing to reduce them.
