2nd Damage
Suit Filed
In Accident
A second suit resulting from
the Bitlo-pedestrinn accident
April 23 In which Patricia Ann
Hardin. 5-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Hardin, was
seriously injured was filed by
Hardin with the circuit clerk
yesterday. This suit asks $25,
000 damages from Mr. and Mrs.
Lawrence W. Barleen.
The complaint charges that
Mrs. Barleen was negligent in
operating her car at a high rate
of speed, maintaining no proper
lookout, not having proper con
trol over the auto and doing
nothing to avoid hitting the lit
tle girl.
The accident occurred On S.
8th between Adams and Owen,
and Patricia Ann's Injuries in
cluded a skull fracture, impair
ment of the sight of her right
eye, brain and knee injuries.
One June 8, Hardin asked the
court to appoint him guardian
ad litem for the little girl and
the same day placed a suit, as
guardian ad litem, against the
Barleens for $25,000. His attor
ney is U. S. Balentine.
Ten days later the Barleens
filed an answer to the original
complaint, saying that Mrs. Bar
leen was driving about 15 miles
per hour, that there were no pe
destrian walks at the place
where the accident occurred and
that the little girl ran out into
the street right in front of the
car. Mrs. Barleen said that she
swerved to the left and stopped
the car in an effort to avoid hit
ting the child.
In reply to that filing Har
din, on June 24, alleged that the
Speed of the car was 30 miles
an hour. R. B. Maxwell is rep
resenting the Barleens.

the ' bill thus arrived at "is

The Keittuckian, who has bat

newsmen as the house convened
two hours earlier than its usual
noon meeting time for a session
which probably will see a show

house will approve the com

what the administration asked
but a good deal less stringent
than it expected to get.
Girl Injured

when a car she was driving
overturned down an eight-foot
bank a quarter of a mile from
Chiloquln on the Sprague River
road. A passenger, Teresa Matt,
16, daughter of Dewey Matt, a
Flathead Indian, was slightly
hurt.
Special Indian Officer John

Bull Attacks
Dave Liskey
Dave Liskey, well known
Klamath county cattleman, is
nursing bruises and possible
left knee bone fracture after he
was gored and trampeled by a
Hereford bull at the Liskeys'
Poe valley ranch Monday.
Liskey was loading - the
"white face" Into a chute when
the animal turned on him,
knocking him to the ground.
Fortunately the animal's horns
were weighted, preventing him
from driving - the horns into
Llskey's body, but he inflicted
painful hurts with his hooves
until Dan .Liskey and Oswald
Brown bulldogged the animal
and got him back into the chute.
The cattleman Is at his home,
1945 Auburn, and said today he
had no intentions of taking part
in the Fourth of July rodeo but
would probably go to his sum
mer place at Lake o' the Woods.

The interesting point is that a

AS to the principle of OPA
