FOR MEMORIAL DAY

OAKLAxD.-James H. Shine, younp
lrishman, aged 81 years, who Is lying a.
the Woolsey Hospital, minus his left foot,
is able TO recount a most peculiar expert
ence.
Shine isa brakeman in the employ Of the
Southern Pacific, and is a most practical
and mere than usually intelligent young
man. By some mishap he was thrown
under locomotive on the 9TH inst. while
switching at San Ramon station, and his
left foot was badly crushed. He was
brought to the hospital, and on the same
day the membe VAS amputated Just above
the ankle, and given into the hands OF the
Coroner for ID teTmenL The foot was put
into a small coffin aud buried at Mountain
View along with some other portions of
human anatomy.
When IL was put in the box il was laid on
one side, and when the earth was thrown
on the coffin Deputy Coroner Hart sup
posed he had seen the last OF 1t.
But no. About week ago Shine began
10 complain that the foot out al Mountain
View panied him. He told hedOctors and
they laughed al him. But the pain in
creased and disturbed his rest. He would
feel the most intense cramps IN the left
ICOt a all times, and he S.outly insisted
that the foot was lying in cramped posi-
ton. The toes seemed all drawn up, aud
his whole being suffered in consequence.
Al last his complaints became SO urgent
that Deputy Coroner Hart was sent for
and questioned as TO the position in which
he had buried The foot. He said he had
put ii on is side IN the box and that it may
have been little CramDed, but Of this he
was not certain. Shine insisted that 1t be
placed In an upright position, as when
walking, with the bottom of the foot On
the bottom Of the box. as he felt that only
IN this position would the foot feel re-
IIeVed.
Hart didn't believe much in such
notions, as be termed II, but, always
willing 10 accommodate, went to the ceme-
terry and had that foot brought 10 light
He says it wasn't the incest Job in the
world, but he brought il forth and stood it
up In the box ana Strengthened it out into
as near natural position as possible and
a second time covered the box with earth,
breathing hope that this time it would
stay covered.
The strange part of the story is that as
soon as the foot was Strengthened out it
ceased TO worry lis late owner. The
cramps were taken out OF il and out If
Shine at the same time, and be now says
his left foot no longer hurts MIN and he
rested easy on Saturday night, Hart haY-
ing changed the foot on The afternoon Of
that day.
Shine cOnversed freely about the matter
to reporter yesterday and said that DR..
Woolsey laughed al his peculiar request
but he added, The doctor never lost foot
nor hand and doesn't know exactly what
the feeling Is, but you can say what you
please. l felt pains and cramps in that lett
foot just as much as though it was still
part OF my body. and l knew for ceTtai
that 1t was buried ia a cramped position"
