        "text": "Mr. Chief Justice Clarity\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nIt appears that claimant was injured while employed as a day laborer in the construction of a hard road by the State of Illinois near Morton, Illinois. The injury was sustained on Sept. 9th, 1924. It seemed that claimant was working in due course of employment behind a cement shed when the cement shed started sliding and the claimant was caught under the slide and about two cars of cement were piled on and around him. He was taken to a doctor\u2019s office and it was found that the left leg was broken above and below the knee, the left hip dislocated, the right arm cut above the elbow and the face cut and scratched.\nIt would appear that claimant suffered a very serious injury, however this case must be considered under the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act of the State of Illinois. It appears that all the hospital expenses of the claimant were assumed or paid by the State of Illinois.\nThe Attorney General comes and contends that the measure of damages would he based on fifty per' cent of the permanent loss of the limb in connection with the average daily wages which he was receiving at the time of the injury. It is the opinion of the court that the Attorney General\u2019s contention is according to the precedent of this court.\nIt is therefore considered that claim be allowed and this court recommends that this claimant be allowed the sum of Nine Hundred Thirteen and 43/100 Dollars.",
