ONE CHANCE IN A THOUSAND.
A San Francisco Transfers RecOV-
cry from u Broken Neck.
San Francisco Chronicle.

San flallCiScO tnrOncle
About five months ago the daily press pub
lished a short item regarding a teamster
named John Collery, who attempted to drive
his team through a barn-door, and In so doing
had his head forced down on his breast until
his neck was broken. Police Surgeon Stam-
baugh made an examination of the Injured
man and found that the seventh cervical
vertebra was fractured, and that the spinal
cord had been stretched nearly two inches.
SO serious was the injury that the report
ers, after chronicling the Incident under
the head OF fatal accidents, paid 10 further
attention to the matter, and failed to inquire
after Collery's condition, considering him dead
and buried. Chronicle reporter was therefore
exceedingly surprised yesterday afternoon to
meet the supposed corpse near the city prison,
looking remarkably well for man with a
broken neck. In n conversation which ensued,
Mr.. Collery stated that he was almost as well as
before the accident, q slight stiffness In his
right side constituting his entire " unhealthi-
ness" After his removal to his home, Collery
states that he was laid fiat on his back, with a
sort Of fence about his neck and head, which
kept him immovable for over two months.
Both the body OF the vertebr@ and the arch
ing laminp were discovered TO be broken,
and the operation of joining them together
without pinchlng the spinal cord where II had
sagged between the ragged edges is described
as one OF the most difficult ever performed.
For month the patient lay on his back, COM
pletely paralyzed In one-half OF his body, and
with but little feeling in the other. If he
moved in the slightest degree during the first
fortnight he could plainly feel the Iugged
edges OF the bone CRATE together, and for hours
after such an attempt he was content to lie on
his hard bed without attempting to move a
muscle for fear that the spinal cord should
be crushed ard his existence ended In q
twnkling. The straightest position attain
| able was required, and TO this end DR.. Stam-
| baugh was compelled TO refuse him a mat
| tress, forcing him 10 lie on wide plank.
Collery says that before his eighteen weeks of
enforced quietness were ended he thought
| that board was made Of adamant. The most
| dangerous time he experienced, he says, was
one day when an attendant told him that
| man whose neck could stand breaking as his
| laugh was Irresistible, and the shaklng-up his
| merriment gave him caused his faslenings tC
| burst and the fracture came near being rup
| tured afresh. During the first Ave weeks ht
did not move over foot from his first posture
The paralysis has now almost entirely dtsap
| peared, and DR.. Stambaugh yesterday prom
| lsed him that he would be able TO go TO worl
| within six months. The average fatality n
cases OF clearly defined fracture OF the spine 4
| estimated at 900 In 1000.

and while going to the house, he saw the

TO go and wake them, but found that they
were dead; he called for help, and was told
that no one except tho accused had been
about the premises.
