STILL HOLDING HIS OWN.
No Change I'm Morris Adler's Condition
Wards Sunday in jail.

Morris Adler's fight for life continues with
out any apparent change in the patients con-
dition. In spite Of a continued high tempera-
ture-rarely less that 102 degrees-and not
outstanding the seriously impeded respiration
and the weakening and painful drainage Of the
wound, Adler's appetite and animal spirits are
just as good as they were on the day after the
shooting, now nearly two weeks ago. sufi-
cient supply OF nourishment is given him by
DIR. Wagner, who is almost constantly with
him. To DIR. wagner's unceasing interest and
attention the Adler family attributes much that
is horeful in the of the wounded man
The doctor, who is an old friend of the stricken
household, has completely forsaken his
other patients and deyotes himself exclu-
| sively to Morris Adler. No woman could
be more tender nurse than he and no one but
! physician could SO faithfully carry out the
course Of treatment which has been laid down
by the attending surgeons. Nothing that can
be done seems to have any effect upon the
patients temperature, but the labored breath

Is just as cheerful as ever and his faith in him.

| UNANIMITY OF THE PHYSICIANS
The Adler family and the physicians were
very much gratined at the result of DR.. Agnew'
investigation. From various sources, not easil,
traced, had sprung rumors Of carelessness. i
not positive ignorance, on the part of the at
tending physicians. To settle these absur,
stories DIR. Agnew was sent for and the result
OF his searching examination was a strong ant
unvarying confederation Of the diagnosis o
the local surgeons. The course of the ball a
traced by all the doctors is precisely the same
and there is the most cheerful unanimity as Il
the manner in which the case has been treateS
from the beginning.

had said that if Adler lived another week tn,
chances were in his favor. If DR.. Agnew die
make that statement it was direct contradic
ton of what he said to the physicians in tn,

did say: IF were at the point of death my
self and satisfied that my ailment must enc
fatally, would rather take my own chances
than exchange them for those of Adler"
