Prior to and on September 2d, 1933 claimant was employed by the respondent as a steward at the Southern lili*285nois Penitentiary located at Menard. On the last mentioned date, while in the performance of his duties, claimant was •passing from the officers’ kitchen to the kitchen for convicts at a time when an institution truck passed within four feet of him, by reason whereof some foreign substance was thrown into his left eye. He immediately went into the office and had such foreign substance removed, and also applied argarol to such eye. It continued to bother him, and on September 4th he went to his home at McLeansboro where he consulted Dr. Hall. During the time which intervened between September 2d and September 24th he was also treated by Dr. Burnett, the institutional doctor at Menard. On September 24th he went to the Haley Eye Infirmary at Oentralia for treatment. The condition of the eye continued to grow worse, and it was finally determined that it would have to be removed. The eye was therefore removed on February 21st, 1934.
