THE DECORIA CONTEST.

Attorneys Buck and Young argued
the Decoria school contest case before
Attorney General Clapp Tuesday.
This case dates back to 1891 when,
after long contest before the county
commissioners, district 10, in Deco
ria, was divided. The territorial di-
vision was about equal, but two-thirds
of the assessed valuation went with
the new district, which was called
152. All Of the freeholders in the old
district and seven of the eighteen
freeholderS in the new district oppos-
ed the division. An action was
brought in the district court by Eli
Sonesac to set aside the division. w.
E. Young appeared for Sonesac and
Daniel Buck for the new district.
Judge Severance decided that he had
no Jurisdiction in case testing the
validity of corporation.
The next step is to have the Attor-
ney General bring the case be
fore the Supreme Court on writ of
quo warranto, which Mr.. Young
is now attempting to do. Mr.. Clapp
took the case under advisement.

A HEROIC DEED.

We recently mentioned the case of
skin grating performed by DR.. j. A..
Hielscher upon Mr.. berwick, the man
who was SO badly burned and was
taken to the hospital. The skin of
frogs was used but the case was in a
measure an experiment, and the graft
ing was done only on the mans chest.
This has proved so successful that
the chest is now entirely healed, the
grated pieces of skin having taken
root and spread out until they have
grown together.
Dr.. Hilscher visited the hospital
Tuesday morning and Mrs. Brady, the
nurse, offered to spare some skin from
her arm if the doctor would graft it
upon the mans side, which still pre-
sents granulated surface. The offer
was accepted and ten pieces of skin
were removed from the heroic lady's
arm without her wincing in the least
or showing desire to withdraw her
offer. Each piece was a quarter of
an inch across and circular. They
were grated upon the mans side and
are expected to grow on and form
centers of healthy growth in the same
manner that the pieces of frogs skin
did. DR.. Hilscher states that as soon
as he can find someone else who will
volunteer as much as Mrs Brady he
will graft some skin upon Mr.. Ter
wick's arm. Mrs. BERWICK has recov-
cred and is nursing her husband, who
will be able to be out in a week or
two, if all goes well.
Mrs. Brady's act is deserving of much
praise, as it caused her much pain and
her arm will be sore until it Can heal
in the natural course.
