Description
Patrick Flamingo was drowned when he fell into the Fox River at Waukesha. The special administrator of his estate has brought an action against the city for damages occasioned by his death. The complaint alleges that the city owned certain land lying between Baxter Street and the river and when it cleared snow from the streets it dumped the snow on this property. A shelf of ice or snow was thus built up overhanging the river. Patrick, who was ten years old, played on the snow-pile and the shelf gave way, dropping him into the river. The complaint charged the city with causal negligence in creating and maintaining on its lands a dangerous condition without warning of the same and under circumstances making it a trip; in maintaining upon its lands a public and attractive nuisance such that children were led to venture upon it; in failing to barricade the area against the children at play under circumstances where the city knew or should have known of the danger and that children would be attracted to it.
