In 1882 Dr. William W. Iliggs was
practicing medicine in Weeping
Water. Some time during that year
Joseph N. Thompson, an employe
of the stone quarry, was struck in
the eye by a small piece of stone.
Thompson went to the above-named
doctor for treatment. The rl
bade the patient accompany him to
a drug store, where he mixed blue
vitriol with some other medicine
and put it into his eye to get the
piece of stone out. The medicine
caused Mr. Thompson to lose th
use of his eye and he brought suit
against Iliggs for $200 damages, re
laming ii. it. Ira vis as his attorney
Iliggs obtained a change ot venue
to Louisville and the case was tried
before Esquire Cleghorn and a inn'
Higgs retained Gibson & Meickle,
and, in the meantime, B. S. Ramsey
had been secured to help Mr.
Travis.
When Dr. Iliggs had been put up
on the stand and the defendant's
attorne3 had examined him, Judge
Ramsey cross-examined him. The
following is a part as taken down
at the time by II. D. Travis, who

is a cataract on the
prows
ville before Ksquire Cleg-horn, and
A. N.Sullivan had been retained as
the defendant attorney. The sec
ond trial resulted in the plaintiff
being awarded a verdict for $200.
The defendant appealed the case,
but failed to have his appeal bond
filed within ten days. It was mailed
on the tenth day at Weeping- Water,
but for some reason the trains were
late and the bond failed to reach its
destination until the eleventh after
judgment was rendered. The bond
was filed by Cleghorn, both as to
form and sufficiency, but not as to
time. The defendant filed a tran
script of the judgment in district
court with a view to perfecting
the appeal.
The plaintiff filed a motion to dis
miss the action in district court for
the reason that the bond had not
been filed within the statutatory
time and the appellate court there
by not obtaining- jurisdiction. The
motion to dismiss the action was
sustained by Judge Pound.
Thompson's attorney then com
menced a direct action upon the
appal bonds for the amount of the
verdict and costs. It was tried in
district court and Thompson
awarded a verdict for the whole
amount. j
The case was then taken to the 1
supreme court by the defendant,
where the decision of the lower
court was affirmed at the January
termi 1886.
George W. Adams, now mayor of
Weeping Water, signed Higgs' ap
peal bond and found that he had to
pay the amount awarded Thompson
and the costs, amounting to nearly
$300.
