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 badly 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 honorable body to adjust said claim and allow the damages claimed.
Respectfully, W. F. Fuller Cook & Orr His Attorneys.
