BIG DAMAGES. Van Wert Doctor Wants $50,000. Sues Marion Contractor—Result of Automobile Plunge to the Bottom of Creek. Many of our readers will remember an accident which occurred near Marion June 17 Itsst, when Dr. R. J. Morgan and Dr. Ttlttla of Van Wert were making a trip to Indianapolis in an automobife Yesterday Dr. Morgan filed suit in the Grant circuit court, demandng $50,000 damages of W. E Willicuts, who at the time of the accident spoken of had a contract to build stone arches over a stream near Marion. The bridge had been torn away and no danger signal had been put up and as a consequence the auto and occupants plunged to the creek bottom. The complaint says: “While running along Monroe pike, about a mile oast of Marion, at 10 o'clock that night at a good rate of speed the automobile was precipitated into the excavation. The plaintiff was badly injured, his left leg being I splintered and made useless for life and his head being seriously brnisjed. The plaintiff relates in his bill i that he will be a cripple for life and will be unable to carry on his practice of medicine, from which he mule an income of $9,000 annually. He asks for damages in the sum of $50,000. It is expected that a similar suit will be filed within a short time possibly not until Morgan’s ease has been settled by Dr. Tuttle, who also sustained serious ini juries. Both men are known here and were in Decatur the morning 1 of the accident.
