TRYJNG 10 FIND the BULLET.
xRays Being Turned on MT Bralley's
Thigh.

DR.. william II. Taylor yesterday after
noon undertook TO make an interesting
experiment with the X-ray. He endeav-
ored TO locate bullet in the thigh Of
Mr.. Guy b. Bradley. OF Wythe county.
MIR. Bradley came TO Richmond few days
since and registered at Ford's Hotel. He
received the wound i'm his thigh shortly
after the war. and of late he has been
considerably troubled with the wound. so
much so that he has decided TO have an
operation performed TO extract the bull
let.
Dr. Taylor turned the rays on Mr. Bral-
ley's thigh. and after an exposure OF
nearly an hour and half he tried last
night to obtain a picture which would
reveal the location of the bullet. The
picture did not develop clearly. and while
there was n spot on the plate that DR..
Taylor thought might be the picture Of
the bullet, he was in doubt about II. He
did not regard the experiment as alto
gether successful to which he attributes
the short time during which the exposure
was made lie will make another effort
this afternoon. Or. Taylor SAYS that II
the bullet is located Il would demonstrate
the usefulness of the X-ray discovery.
He regards this as an unusually interest
ing case.
DIR. Taylor now has the necessary equip
ment for making cathode photographs.

The Adinlant Not Yet AppOinted.

Since Captain J. G. Shafer received
his commission as commandent Of Com
pany b. Of the Blues Battalion. the po-
sitiOn OF adjutant TO the battalion has
been vacant II was at first understood
that Second Lieutenant W 5. p. Mayo CT
Company II. would succeed Captain Sha-
fer as adiutant. Major Sol Cutchins has
not yet made the assignment, but those
who are usually well informed In regard
TO the affairs Of the Blues. claim now
that Lieutenant Mayo will not be the
choice. but that Lieutenant Frank W.
Woon. who IS at present ordinance Off
Ger on the stan Of the battalion, will be
the new adtutant.
II is argued that Lieutenant Woon.
who acted as adiutant at the battalion
drill and dress parade on washington s
birthday. has shown himself TO be emil
nently well fitted for the place. and that
for that reason II for no other, Major
Cutchins will appoint Lieutenant Woon.
II Is also said that Lieutenant Mayo is
by no means very anxious 10 be promot-
"a at this time. and prefers. under eE-
listing circumstances to remain with MS
