Cheyenne, Yfyorning.
Dear Sir:
On April· 6th, 1925, Sam Crau shau v,r.. s sent to me by Dr. H.
Finch, Coal Company Physician at Hanna, for treatment of an eye injury.
Our records shO\'! that he wa slt re a t ed a t t he ti me a s a Coal
Company case a nd we rue.de 110 repo1·t to the Stat e Co1upensa tion Department nor
to the County Clerk.

t. e \'!ere 1Ja id ten dollars ( yl0.00) presur.!ably by t h e

Hospital Commission, a lthough our records do not s ho;7 definitel y tha t the
check came from the Hospital Commission.
On lfarch 6th, 1926, he vre.s referred by Dr . Finch \7ith a letter stating they r:ished to have a final examination nade to dete r mine nhat
vision he has in the injured eye .

The letter also stated tha t he uas a

compensation case anc.1. th at at the time he ,m_ s injured he r;a s ,·;orking for
the Rattlesnake Creek 1Jater 001;1.pany and is still an employee of th at company.
I might add. thi:,t his vision in the injured eye - right - is
20/70 and with correction· is 20/30 plus.

He has a very ·slir;ht linear scar

across the center of t~e cornea.
I am giving you this history of the case so that you may advise me \7hether this should be reported as a State Cowpensation case at this
time, nearly a year z.fter the injury \'las received, l.iarch 21, 1925.
Very sincerely,
G. L. Strader.
