one to death. 1t seems certain that all
five of the men persisted. Another

4 Han Living with Broken Neck

What is stated to be among the
most remarkable instances in the an
nails of surgery is shat of a man now
being treated at the Jefferson Medi-
cal College Hospital. The man is
Albert Patterson, aged thirty-three
years. He was born in Bavarie, but
came to this country about sixteen
years ago. Some two years since he
received employment as waiter in a
restaurant at Galveston, Texas
While attempting to climb up the
stairs one day he fell a distance of
about twelve feet on his side, ruptu-
ring the sixth and seventh vertebra
below the neck. When picked up his
wholesbody was paralyzed. He..was
taken to n hospital, where, upon ex-
animation, it was found he was alive.
This was on May %, 1891. The
surgeon there, knowing the case to
be desperate, decided on the bold plan
to operate He did SO, and, after
opening the back ofthe neck, inserted
silver wires in position by which
the vertebrae were held together.
Strange to say, the man recovered,
and his organs again resumed their
motion. he left the hospital.

OUTLAWS FoUNDIs A CAVE.
Some Miaers AcciGenfjy Dfscover
Their Rendezvous.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Oct. S.-Depu-
ty United States Marshal Thomas of
this city has just returned from
Stone county, Mo-, and cor frms the
sensational rumor of the adventure
of the Colorado miners who discov-
cred a few days ago q band of out
laws concealed in a cave at White
River Hills, near the Arkansas bor-
der.
They entered one of the numerous
caves in the southern part of Stone
county in search of the traditional
Spanish silver mines Of southwest
Missouri, which SO many silver mi
ners have sought in vain since the
acquisition of this territory by the
United States. While exploring the
cave the light from the torches Of
the miners suddenly revealed Just
ahead of the party four bright VIM
chester rifles leaning against the
rocky wall of the cavern.
In an instant four well-dressed
men sprapg from a place of conceal
ment, and, seizing the guns, leveled
their cleaning barrels at the ad-
vancing party and commanded the
miners to halt. A brief conference
was held, in which the denizens of
the cave informed the miners that
the latter must retire.
The treasure hunters obeyed
promptly, but on reaching the mouth
of the cave one of the party was
left to stand guard while the other
men went out into the country to
summon reenforcements for the con-
templated seizure. Soon men began
to arrive at the cave, armed to the
teeth, aud a constant guard has been
maintained day and night since that
time Sheriff Bookout of Stone
cosnty was at the cave yesterday.

between thirty and forty well-armed
men, resolved to keep up the siege

Is It Possible That Raleigh Can't
Raise 1t?

The trustees of the proposed Bap-
tist State Female University, to be
erected in Raleigh, met in that city
Wednesday and discussed the fail
ure on the part of the city to raise
the money subscribed and looked to
steps in other directions. After
considerable discussion the question
was talked till the Baptist State
Convention in Goldsboro, when it
will be brought up and fully deter
mined upon. It is strange that a
city of Raleigh's size and dignity
should make an appropriation and
then fail to come to time with it.
Other cities can and will, if she will

The Court House Question.

| EDITOR SENTINEL:-1t would in.
deed be fearful setback to the
prosperity and forward march of
Winston-Salem if the proposition
now pending should be defeated.
1t has been said that FORSYTH
! county is 10 have a new court house;
| Winston-Salem has been published
as saying so.
Now let the matter be defeated by
| apathy Or Indifference and the dam
aging effect will fall upon this pro-
| gresslve city, ard may seriously re-
tard its progresA>
1t won't do to ''rock along" and
take it for granted that matters will
be all right if the result should be
adverse, and the proposition voted
down, there will be many found
ready to say "I told you so," while
others who are apparently indlffer-
| ent now viii admit that they thought
the election should have been can
vassed and properly worked up, so
as to N Ike success certain, but it
will tb y be too late. These "sfter-
though people are generally clogs
to the growth and prosperity of any
community. We do not mean that
there are any such here-they live
elsewhere; such do not flourish in
the climate of Winston-Salem. But
the fact still remains that this in-
portart matter should be put before
the people of Forsyth county in it's
prn3.-" highland it should be done
81 VI e.
H;:,s' reasonable man can or will
object to the new court house? Here
is q county that stands little, if any,
below any other in the entire State,
in wealth and material prosperity
county entirely free from debt.
The extra tax for the new building
would hardly exceed, if as much as
one tenth one per cent. The tax
payer would hardly feel the addi-
tional increase, nor would he recog-
nize the difference in the aggrega-
tion of his State and county taxes if
the tax list and his receipt did not
show the specific levy.
There were men who lived in
North Carolina, in the long ago, who
opposed the building of railroads,
and who were "against" internal
improvements of any kind, and the
descendants cf all such have lived
to see the folly of such course.
The towns and communities who
rejected railroads, and took plank
roads in lieu thereof, have had the
bitter reflection upon the mistake
they made, while they have seen
other places in favor of internal i'm
provements sweep forward and keep
time to the music of progress.
The county of Forsyth viii! have
very soon the metropolis of North
Carolina as her Gts) county seat.
Winston-Salem is to-day one of the
leading cities of the South.
Let no sordid spirit, sentimental
objection, or prejudice, have place
in the minds of the good people of
this county. Her people are patri-
otic, liberal minded, broad-guaged.
It is their court house-their enter
prise. Every emotion of patriotic
county pride should move them to
carry on this work to SUCCESSFUL
comp letion by voting for the propo-
sition to be submitted. Let the vote
be as unit on this all-important
question, and let that vote be in fa-
vor Of court house building suita-
bic and commensurate with the
name-the fame-the pride and the
prosperity of Forsyth county.
