In Judge Tracy's court the case of Nancy Oder against Dr. J B Beckett was placed on trial Wednesday morning. The plaintiff alleges on Aug 5, 1908, she fell and injured her right arm near the wrist; she went to Dr. Beckett who informed her one of the bones was broken; he set and bandaged the injured member; told her the arm was all right. She alleges the arm, wrist hand and fingers have since become stiff and that she is unable to use the arm, for which she seeks $10,000.
