PROCEEDINGS OF COUNTY COURT - May Term, 1872 - A man had been taken to the County Farm last winter, with one side badly burned and his feet frozen, one of them so badly frozen that it became necessary this spring to have his leg amputated. Dr. PIPKIN, the attending physician, was at the time waiting on Mr. WILLIAMS, who had the smallpox, and it would have been imprudent for him to visit anywhere else, he requested Dr. BREWSTER to attend to the patients at the Farm for him. BREWSTER finding that it was necessary to amputate the man's leg, took Dr. STEGMAN, with him to assist in the operation. The operation was performed and the man got well. At this term of the Court the two doctors brought in their bills for services; Dr. STEGMAN claiming that he had done the work, and having made a few other visits, and having performed a few other operations, charged the modest sum of $231.00. BREWSTER claimed that he was the regular physician, and had really done as much as STEGMAN, and had permitted STEGMAN to do the cutting and sawing through courtesy. He had made several other visits and done some other work, and his charge was $121.00. The Court, after a hearing of the evidence, allowed STEGMAN $95.00, and BREWSTER $31.00. STEGMAN took his county warrant, feeling no doubt that he had received big pay, but BREWSTER thought he had not been dealt with fairly and refused to take his, and will probably appeal the case to the Circuit Court.
