A SAVAGE MASSACRE.
How an Injured Tribe Proved It's
Loyalty to the Cause of It's
Ancestors.

Vancouver, b. c., MAY II
Formosa advices give details of a
terrible massacre in the vicinity
OF Taikow, a town in the central
district. Thirty unarmed villagers
were ambushed by about sixty
savages, who killed 20 of them.
Only one escaped.
The cause of the massacre is
said to have been a dispute be
tween savage tribes over the
paternity of an illeg,timate child,
and the death of It's mother. The
reputed father of the child denied
the charge ard refused to make
compensation to the tribe to which
the girl belonged. An appeal to
head hunting was tho only way
by which the injured tribe could
prove its righteousness to its an
cestors. After the massacre the
savages indulged in feast at
which the heads of the murdered
villagers were conspicuously dis
played.

A Jugular Vein Removed.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
Should William Jennings, 10
years old of Greenport, l.. l.,
recover from an operation on him
at the New York Eye and Ear IN
frmary, he will have the distinc-
ton of being one of the few per,
sons to live with one jugular vein
removed. He was taken to the
hospital suffering from necrosis
OF the bone behind the left ear.
Three inches of diseased bone was
removed from his skull and an
abcess in the brain was cut out
The removal of the left iugular
vein was made necessary by the
discovery of three clots of blood.
which, unless removed, would re.
suit in death. DR.. Gorham Bacon
performed the operation. Pre-
vlous to being placed under an
aesthetics the situation wa. ex-
planned to young Jennings, and
he was told that the chances of
saving his life were very slim. In
addition to DR.. Bacon, there were
twelve other physicians in attend
ance. The jugular vein was
severed just above the collar bone
and then cut from near the upper
part of the head and the ends
tied. A portion of the vein sew
eral inches long was taken out.
The physicians have strong hopes
OF his recovery.
