Three Bullets Extracted.

Drs. Andrews and Webster were
summoned as soon as possible and at
tended the wounded man. They re.
moved three bullets from the right
side of his head, having been fiatten.
ed against the skull and being plainly
visible under the scalp. The fourth
bullet, the one that entered the top
of his head, was found to be tmbedded
in the brain, making fatal wound.
The ply sicians did not attempt to ex-
tract this bullet, nor did they with
hold from the members Of the family

Mr.. Gains recovery. The three
wounds on the right side of his head
ranged from point two inches upward
aud backward of the right eye to a
point the same distance upward and
backward of the right ear.

He has been carrying insurance in the

A PROMINENT PHYSICIAN DISCOVERS HE IS
BEHIND THE TIMES.
Life Almost Lost Because of Physicians nexperience
An Eminent Chicago Specialist to the
A Woman Dies from Neglecting Seemingly
Slight Ailment.


When man achieves success far above
the ordinary in his particular occupation or
profession, he deserves the applause of his
fellows in proportion to the magnitude of
his achievement. When high degree of
success is directed to saving life, relieving
suffering, and contributing to the happi-
ness OF great numbers of people, it becomes
matter of general interest.
A physician who has saved hundreds of
lives which seemed hopelessly lost, restored
thousands of sick to health, and relieved
suffering which baffled the most skillful
efforts of other physicians. His success be-
comes of interest to many of our readers
who may themselves be afflicted with dis
ease or have friend or dear one who is
afflicted.
Such has been the wonderful success of
DR.. Downing, the well-known Chicago
specialist who has cured more cases of GER
tain long standing diseases than any other
specialist in this country. He has earned
a reputation for skill and reliability which
is envied by all. His methods of treatment
have been initiated by many doctors in
everything except in effecting cures.
The following incidents told to a report
er whom DR.. Downing cured of disease
which had been pronounced incurable illus
trates the admirable successes which have
made DR.. Downing's name household
word In many homes not only in America.
but in Europe as we'll.

Bought the Revolver.

Officer Kelly lives near Mr.. Gains
home and was the first officer to arrive.
Chief Bruels and Officer Daniels SUBJ
sequently visited the house, and made
thorough inquiries into the matter.
During the forenoon, Officer
Daniels ascertained that Mr.. Cain
purchased the revolver at Niebe's
hardware store on North Front street
at about four o'clock yesterday after
noon. Cain did not explain to Niebel
why he wanted revolver. Mr.. Me
bel was shown the revolver and
identified it as the one purchased Of
him yesterday. Mr. Niebel states
that ten days ago Mr.. Cain called at
his store and asked for 38-calibre re-
volyer. Mr.. Niebel did not carry one
in stock, and Mr.. Cain did not call
again until yesterday. This supports
the theory that suicide had been pre-
meditated
The revolver is covered with blood
stains, and the sacks where the shoot
ing occurred are also spattered with
blood.
Mr.. Cain was one of the late John
A. Wizards most trusted employees.
His attempt at suicide is general
surprise.
Late this afternoon Mr.. Cain was
alive, but DR.. Andrews states that
it is not probable that he will survive
more than twenty four hours, al
though there is small chance of re-
covery 1t would be more dangerous
to probe for the ball that is lodged in
the brain than to leave il where it is.
Two Of the balls penetrated and frac-
tured the outer table OF the skull, land
one merely penetrated the scalp. All
entered well up toward the top of the
head.

Cain grasped the revolver in his right
hand, and the young man took it from
him and fired the last shot in the air.
Mr.. Cain told his son that he had
shot himself, and then seemed to be
unaware of what he had said, for he
asked Fred whether he saw anyone in
the barn. Neighbors assisted to con-
vey the wounded man to his home.
He was cor scious throughout the
morning and was able to converse a
little, although carrying four bullets
in his head. When in the house he
told the members of his family that
he had gone up in the loft toget some
hay for the horses and that while
there his head felt dizzy and this is
the last that he knew. He had never
had an attack of dizziness before.
Mr.. Cain asked his daughter, Edna,
what was the matter with him, and
also asked her how many holes were in
his head To his elder daughter, Grace,
he said: 'Don't worry, l am all
right" The young lady asked him
what was the matter, and he replied
that his head ached. Mr.. Cain seemed
to imagine that someone had shot
him, and Grace asked him who had
done it. He replied that he did not
know, that someone must have been
in the barn as he had left the barn
door unlocked last evening. 1t might
be stated that the family have no
doubt but that he inflicted the
wounds himself.
