Fort Worth, Texas, February 15th,1906.

To the Honorable Mayor & City Council,
of the City of Fort Worth, Texas:

Gentlemen:-

We desire to submit the following claim to your honorable body
for consideration:

On the night of January 24th,1906,Walter Fuller was driving
a delivery wagon along New York Railroad Ave., in the City of Fort Worth,Texas,
when the wagon was turned over by going into a hole in the street,
some eighteen inches deep. Fuller was thrown from the wagon and bad-
ly injured. The wagon passed over his body injuring him internally and
otherwise. Both hips were bruised, lacerated and skinned, and his right
hip was dislocated. He was confined to his bed for about three weeks from
his injuries and is now going about on a crutch. Fuller was unconscious
for about fifteen minutes after the accident. Fuller was earning
Forty-five dollars per month at time of injury for Parker Lowe Dry Goods Co.

He files his claim for $5000 and alleges that the same should
be paid because the street s where the accident occurred was
drak dark
there being no street lights along same, which was negligence, and
further that the city was guilty of negligence in permitting the hole
to remain in the street with no barricades around same or any red lights
about said hole so as to warn people of the location of same. He has incurred
a doctors & medicine bill of $100.00.

We present this claim to the City as attorneys for Fuller
and request that you give us an answer as to what you propose to do
in the premises. Fuller has assigned to us an one-half interest
in his claim, and we desire that this communication shall also act
as notice to the City of our interest in the same.

We also have had Fuller sign this petition so that it will
be considered as his statement of the case. We request pray you honor-
able body to adjust said claim and allow the damages claimed.

Respectfully,
W. F. Fuller
Cook & Orr
His Attorneys.
