THE WOUNDED SOLDIER. condition
of Sergeant John Miller of Company A (City
Guard) last night was as favorable as could
be expected. The wad of the cartridge was
removed by the surgeon yesterday, the pa
tient being placed under the influence of
chloroform. The wad was found buried in
the cheek close beneath the ball of the eye.
Inflammation must supervene and the sufferer
cannot be pronounced out of danger until the
extent of it is known. The City Guard held
a meeting last evening, J. H. Conlan pre-.
siding, and adopted resolution IF profound
sympathy for Sergeant Miller, and declaring
that no blame attaches to private Palm, as
the accident was unavoidable and liable to
happen to any one similarly situated.
