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.

Jardine Figures '
On Better Lights
for tho Corners
The city commissioners are beginning
to consider with some seriousness the
proposition of a better electrlo light street
lighting system for Omaha proper.
. Tha Omaha Electric Light and Power
company has submitted to Commissioner
Jardine a tentative statement, showing
that It would be possible to substitute
IM7 lamps of type C, 400 candle power,
for tha same expense now being paid for
l.JTl area and 13 naming arcs.
The proposed change would result In
lighting PM more Intersection. Of 1,960
Intersections ef the city, l.Jlf are lighted.
The commissioners - have been Im
portuned all year by cttlsens who ask for
more lights. Tha city haa been running
along for a year without a atreet light
ing contract with the electrlo light com
pany. The proposed new form of electrlo lamp
for Omaha streets waa adopted In South
Omaha and costs 13 each per year.
