The suit instituted fiy Mrs. Julia Day for her against John Mitch, a Cedar Lake saloonkeeper, and which was filed in the Lake circuit court last May and later venued upon request of Day, has been sent to Jasper county for trial. Mitch made the request for change from Porter county. Dunlap & Parkison are the attorneys for Day, who is a boy of 16 or 17 years of age. The complaint sets forth that Day and Walter Wiseman went to Cedar Lake, bought and drank a pint of whiskey in Mitch’s saloon and became drunken and that Day later bought and drank five glasses of beer in the saloon and became so drunk that he was unable to stand up. That while he was in this condition, Mitch, tried to stand him up and make him fall to the floor of his saloon and broke his leg. That the doctor’s hill amounted to S2OO and nurse hire to SB4 and that he is permanently crippled, one leg being an inch shorter than the other and his leg being towed and his foot twisted, making him a permanent cripple. Judgment is asked in the sum of $3,000. Mark A. Webber and Perkins Turner, as bondsmen for Mitch, are made parties to the suit.
