L THE OMAIIA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 14, 1915. COURT FIXES YALOE OF II1DDLE FI1IGER Jv> Eedick Holii that On Die-it Doe i One-Third of Work Per formed by Wnol Hand. COTHRT AJTTIE3 AJTCTETT RULE The middle fl iifer of MIm Etta Crottman's right hand, lost while she wm an employe of the Bamta Dag company, was worth one-third m much as the hand Itself, nader Ne braska'a workmen's compensation law. Judge Redtck decided. . lie awarded the girl, who la 18 years old, a Judgment of f 279.(6, of which $106 waa for temporary disability and the remainder for the permanent Injury. In the absence of a sparine provision In tho liw for payment for a finger, Juries Redlek resorted to method Imllar to those Mid to hare been employed by Solomon, the first Judge who became femoua "After much reflection t nave deter mined that tha middle finger doe at least one-third of tha work accomplished, ay the whole hand." says tba decision which Judra Rodlck wrote. Loss of a band shall be remunerated at the rate of one-half of the employe's mm for 171 weeks, according to the compensation law. By the use of ' a Pencil and paper and some of the prin ciples which the Judge learned In boy hood, he multiplied and divided , aud added arid subtracted until he bad fixed the amount of the Judgment Tba girl csrae to Omaha from Russia, two yeera age. WhDe she waa employed by the Bemls Baa; company aa an- oper ate of a seeing machine a needle pen etrated ber finger. Ulood poisoning later followed, which neeeailtated Ha amputa tion. ' - Because Mine- Orottmaa refused to ac cept the service of the company's physi cian, tha court held she was not en titled to recover doctor's bills. An alle gation by tha defense that aha had been negligent In caring for tha Injury was held by tha court aa not affecting her right to recover. Bride Says Her Husband Hurled - a Loaf of Bread Mrs. Veda Besanson, a bride, charges In a dlvoroa petition filed In district court that Burton Betansen, whom aha married October t at Fremont, hit her on the head four daya later with the first loaf ef bread which she made. This waa aa act of extreme cruelty, she alleges. Her husband hurled tha loaf with force, airs. Besanson complains, and when it struck her head the contact caused her to feel pain. The loaf of bread la not described In Mrs. Be za neon' a petition, but according tc attorneys Its weight must be deter mined to enable a Judge to decide how much of cruelty there waa In thla act ef tha husband. If It waa light, delightfully fluffy and possessed of a orlsp. tender crust, such aa tha usual bride bakes, any Injury caused by It undoubtedly would be mental rather than physical. On the ether hand, a loaf ef bread aa It U some times made may be a dangerous weapon, lawyera assert. Mrs. Besanson alleges that aha baa been a dutiful and obedient wife.
