Re: telephone conv ersation relative to t he Coov ensation
case of Sam Crawsha\"1 :
Crawshaw uns inj ur ed while in the employ of the Rat tlesnake Creek \'later Company.

Crawshaw \'/US call ed out by Mr . Clark on

for a period of 33 days, he ad vises t hat he \'las pai d compensation ·for th:ils
period.

Dr. Straed er of Cheyenne has handled this case and am a dvised by

Crawshaw that the doctor has foruar ded his bill to the Clerk of Court at

�March 9th, 1926.

Mr. N. R. Greenfield,
Rawlins, Tiyoming.
Dear Sir:
Herevtlth letter from Dr. St rad er in relation to compensation case of Sam Cra·wshaw.
A~parently there is a confusion as to whether this
L'lall

is an employee of the Rattlesnake Creek ~ater Company or an em-

ployee of the Union Pacific. Coal Company.

Dr. Strader is under the

i1:1pression that his pre~ious fee of f;ll0.00 was paid by the Hospital
Commission at Hanna , when perhaps tha t Commission had nothing to do
,tlth the caoe.

Dr. Strader's main question is, however, as to whether

he shall give the compensation department the full report of his examination.

Will you kindly check the case and udvise oe r,hat I may

say to Dr. Strader.
Yours very t ruly,
Original Signed

Cheyenne, Wyoming.
March a, 1926.

Mr. Herbert Lacey,
Cheyenne, ·wyoming.
Dear Sir:
On April• 6th, 1925, Sam Crawshaw was sent to oe by Dr. H.
Finch, Coal Company Physician at Hanna, for treatment of an eye injury.
Our records show that he was~reated at the time as a Coal
Company case and we rnade no report to the State Compensation Department nor
to the County Clerk.

Tie were paid ten dollars (~10.00) presumably by the

Hospital Coliliilission, although our r eco rds do not show definitely that the
check car.1e from the Hospital Commission.
On ~rch 6th, 1926, he ,re.s referred by Dr. Finch with a letter stating they wished to have a final examination oade to determine what
vision he has in the injured eye.

The letter also stated that he uas a

compensation case and that at the time he uas injured he uas Yrorking for
the Rattlesnake Creek Water Company and is still an employee of that company.

I might add that his vision in the injured eye - right - is
20/70 and with correction" is 20/30 plus.

He has a very ·slight linear scar

across the center of the cornea.

I run giving you this history of the case so that you may advise me whether this should be reported as a State Coriipensation case' at this
time, nearly a year after the injury \78.S received, Liarch 21, 1925.
Very sincerely,

G. L. Strader.
