A NEW DEPARTURE.
Galena Times

One of the most peculiar and inter-
esting cases of modern surgery is
about to be undertaken at Richmond,
Va. A man who has lost both of his
forearms In All accident, but having
unbounded confidence in the skill Of a
noted surgeon of Richmond, will en-
deavor 10 replace his lost members by
the grating process. lie found two
life convicis in the penitentiary at
Sing Sing, who were each willing to
sacrifice all arm in consideration Of
gaining their liberty, and this Gov.
Flower has consented to grant them as
soon as the conditions are complied
with. The armless man will have the
forearms thus secured grated on to
his stumps. Some eminent surgeons
believe the operation can BIO success
fully performed. Should IL prove
success, is there not danger of those
criminal hands getting the gentleman
into trouble. His anatomy would be
a muchly mixed affair, at least.

pAwNED A LIVERY HORSE.

One of the most peculiar freaks of
dead beatism ever known In this Sec
ton occurred In Baxter last Friday
evening when a man about 30 years Of
age drove into Jack Garrett's livery
stable with horse and light open rig
stating that he had just received tel
egram from Scammon stating that his
brother was dead and that he desired
q loan of $l4 on tho horse for a few
DAYS until he could collect some mon
ey due him. lie gave his name as
Chas. Leeby and told such a straight
story about owning the horse and the
other part of the outfit belonging to u
Mr.. Shelton, who was in the hay busi-
ness near Miami, that Jack didn't sus.
piciOn anything wrong and would
have Let him have 1926 ii he had asked
for il. The truth of the matter was,
however, that the fellow had himself
sent the telegram from Scanmon Fri
day morning to his own name at Bax.
ter, then took freight train to Col
umbus, -hired the horse and rig from
VIM. Benham to drive out 10 Joe
Chubb's place and drove to Baxter.
AS he did not return the rig Benham
sent Marshal AitchcsOn Of Columbus
in search Of il. Cards were also
printed and sent to the nIarshals
around the country. Marshal Gill
and Constables Jones and flemstreet
were all notified Saturday and told
every liveryman in Baxter except Gar
rett, hence 1t happened that the outfit
was not found until Monday after
noon after long search by Aitcbcson,
who then had squad of five men pre-
pared TO make careful search in the
country near this city. The real name
of the fellow who pawned the horse is
Frank Jessup and he will probably be
captured soon.

The Columbus Reporter offers to ex.
change its paper one year for a bushel

ing the earth when they are con-
fronted with such offers as this in ex-
change Sor the products of their labor

about the elder Mr.. Wiley in such a
manner as to attract that gentleman's
attention. Convinced that some.
thing was wrong Wiley followed the
dog, which led the way to a point on
the river about five miles from the
house. There he found the lifeless
body of his son, suspended by one
leg from an overhans ing limb by a
line which ran over the bough and
extended far out into the river. The
boy threw his line over the bough to
give his catch better play, and then,
for greater security, had tied the end
around his leg. A l50-pouad catfish
had seized the bait and hauled the
lad up to the bough. In the strug-
giles of the fish to escape the line had
become entangled in the boughs and
securely held the unfortunate fisher
man suspended until relieved by
death.
