Pierced Through the Body by Drill.

Patrick Mulligan, who has beenin the
hospital for about three weeks, was yes
terday sufficiently recovered from his
injuries to appear on the street, and is
confident that within few days he will
be able to resume work in the mine. No
other man in Montana can say that an
eight-pound two-foot inch drill ever
passed through his body. Not one man
in million could experience the sensa-
ton and live to tell about it, Mr. Mul-f
ligan sets a great value upon the drill,
and proposes to keep it as a meniento.
Soon after the accident occurred, and u
when be first knew there was a possibil-
ity of saving his life, he expressed the
somewhat superstitious beliefthat if the
drill were polished and preserved he. .
would ultimately recover. To CRAFTY
the humor, the boys of the mine have
every day devoted little time to the
polishing of the drill, and it is. now as
bright and glistening as. a new silver !,
dollar, and Mulligan is well.-BUtte y
