SURGERY WITH AID OF X RAYS
Doctors Extract a Bullet Located by the
New Process.
PERFECT PHOTOGRAPH BY PROF. TURNER
by It's Guidance the Operation Was
Performed with an E~xnctness md
safety which Would Otherwise
Have Keen impossible

The first case in Omaha in which a sur
gical operation was successfully performed
with the aid of the X rays occurred yester-
day, when Drs. Saville and Towne ex-
tracted a bullet which had been located by
means of a Roentgen photograph taken by
Prof. Turner of the Omaha High school.
The patient was John Felic, a 12-year-old
boy, and the operation was Of such a nature
that it would have been very serious without
the aid of Prof. Turner's scientific assist
ance. About two weeks ago the boy was
accidentally shot. The bullet entered the
palm of the left hand. Owing to the bony
structure and tough tissues of the hand 1t
was practically impossible to locate the
bullet with a probe. Moreover, the two
arteries which cross the hand at that point
rendered an incision a serious matter unless
the exact location Of the bullet was known.
The attention of Prof. Turner was called
to the case and he consented to assist the
physicians. Thursday the boy was taken to
the laboratory at the High school, where
the photograph was taken. The hand was
exposed for an hour and a half, in order to
be sure to get a clear photograph of the
bullet. The experiment was In every way
successful. When completed the photograph
was perfect. The bones of the hand were
clearly defined and the bullet appeared as a
plain black spot in the middle Of the palm.
Yesterday, by referring to the photo
graph, the surgeons extracted the bullet
without difficulty. The exact location being
known, they were able to make an incision
ut one side of the artery under which the
bullet had lodged. and thus reach the object
without interfering with the artery.
Since the first operation of this sort has
proved so successful. Prof. Turner is likely
to have. his hands full in attending to similar
requests from physicians. DR.. Bacon has a
case in which a patient is suffering from a
very obstinate spraln of the shoulder joint.
1t is proposed to try the X rays to see IL a
photograph of the shoulder cannot be OBJ
tained, showing exactly to what extent, IL
any, the joint is dislocated. If this is sue
cessful the treatment Of the case will be
materially siniplitled. The physicians of the
city are taking a great deal of interest in
these experiments, and Prof. Turner is being
congratulated on account of the fact that his
photograph of the hand of young Felic is
one Of the most perfect results that has
been reached anywhere in the United States.

AS A BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
City Council Meets and Considers
Plans Of Assessment.

City Council Meets and Considers
Plans Of Assessment.
The city council met as a board of equaliza-
ton yesterday to pass on a number Of
plans of assessment for small improvements.
Councilman Benawa was elected chairman.
The only protest heard was that Of John L.
Kennedy and other property owners against
the plan of assessment on account of grading
the alley north of Dodge, between Thirty
eighth and Thirty-ninth streets. The protes-
tants asserted that they were assessed for
benefits, when, as q matter of fact, their
property had been materially damaged by
the change. They succeeded in showing this
to the satisfaction of the board and it was
determined that the plan of assessment should
be rejected.
At the afternoon session there was a
long discussion of the plan of assessment
for grading Seventeenth street from Cas-
tellar to Vinton. The amount involved is
represented by R.. w. Richardson, who talked
for nearly an hour to show that the method
of levying the tax was irregular. He repre-
scented that no petition had ever been filed
for grading the street. Moreover the council
proposed to assess taxes for benefits upon
several lots the owners Of which had al
ready been allowed damages on account of
the grade. How a lot could be benefited by
the same improvement by which 1t was
damaged was a proposition which would not
stand in court. In support of his position
he cited a number of supreme court deci-
,sions and City Attorney Connell practically
confirmed his position. The plan of assess
ment was rejected.

CASE DECIDED AGAINST THE CITY.


Must Pay for Land Taken for Boule-
ward Purposes.
The city was the loser in the suit brought
against 1t by the trustees of the estate of
Fanny Croft to recover the value of the land
taken by the city on North Twentieth
street, the plaintiff being given judgment
against the city in the sum of $500 and in
terest, amounting in all to $S74.66.
The evidence in the case showed that the
park commission, acting under the authority
of the city council and mayor, took possess
SIGN Of Twentieth street as a boulevard, and
opened the street to the full width of sixty
six feet. In so doing, the park commission
took a strip of ground belonging to the Croft
estate, and lying Immediately south of Ames
avenue, thirty-three feet in width and about
400 feet in length. The street had been
dedicated at this point with q width of only
claimed to be ignorant of this fact and i'm
proved the street to the full width. An at
tempt was made on the part of the city to
shift the responsibility of this action on the
park commission as a separate department,
whose action would not bind the city council
and mayor, but the court ruled other wise,
and 1t then became almost solely a question
of fixing the value of the land. A number of
real estate men were called on both sides to
give their opinion Of the value Of the land
taken. No two of them agreed as to what
the land was worth, the prices fixed by these
witnesses ranging from 5000 to 81, 800 per

the residents and taxpayers OF the village.
IL is further alleged that the population OF
the village is not TO exceed $50, and is not
1000, as required by the law providing for
the creation OF cities OF the second class.
To this petition the village trustees de-
INJURED, alleging that their acts had been In
strict compliance with the law and denying
that the system Of government required for
a city OF the second class would be more
expensive than the system now in force in
the village.
Judge Powell sustained the demurrer,
holding that the trustees had acted strictly
within the limits Of the law, and that the
evidence introduced in support Of the de-
murrer showed that the cost Of government
would not differ materially under the two
systems. The question of population, he
held, was not one which could be brought
up in an action like the one at bar. 1t
could properly be considered only in quo
warranto proceedings. At the end of a
year, the court said, the residents Of the
city could vote on the question OF whether
they would continue as a city Of the second
class or return to a village organization.

Mrs. Martha M. Lingafedlt has commenced
an action In the district court for a divorce
from Harry L. Lingafelt. Her petition is a
lengthy document and charges the defendant
with numerous acts Of cruelty and abuse
which have made life a burden for the

compelled to take refuge with her %neighbors
for protection from the abuse of her husband.
She informs the court that she was married
in Pennsylvania in January, 1879, and they
now have four children. She informs the
court that her husband keeps a jug of
whisky in the house and Is under the in
fiuence Of liquor all time.
Within the past few weeks she alleges
that Harry has struck, beat and kicked her
to such an extent that she has been COM
PEELED to leave the house. and only returns
to II when he is away. The court is also
informed that the plaintiff and defendant,
by their joint labors, have acquired a house
and lot in Shinn's addition, and that the
defendant is employed by the postofice de-
partment, and receives a monthly salary of
s105. She asks the court for temporary
alimony to enable her to prosecute the suit

vorce, alimony, the custody of the children,

ant be required to keep up payment on his
