BROKEN NECK CURED.
Operation by New York Doctors for
Fractured Vertebrate Proves a
Complete Success,

The plaster of paris casting which
had been placed about the neck Of Wal
ter L. Duryea, the young man who frac-
tured his neck while bathing in Long
Island sound, was removed the other
day by DR.. Able in the Roosevelt hos
pital New York city, and from now on
he will have the use of his neck
His case has excited the curiosity of
numerous physicians all over the coun-
try. When the accident occurred, the
neck was incased in plaster, and four
days later the injured man was taken
to the hospital. A few days later the
casing was removed, and, after X-ray
photographs of the injured vertebrae
had been made, a specially-constructed
splint was placed around the neck and
Duryea was informed that the only
possible chance of his recovery was
through an operation. Duryea an
pounced that he was willing to under
go the operation, and was prepared
for it.
On September 10 the operation was
performed in the Sims operation pa
vilion by DR.. Able, assisted by num-
Der Of other physicians. Duryea stood
ii well, and the physicians said that the
operation was very successful
1t has been evident to the physicians
that the injury was healing for sew
eYal days, and the other day it was
thought best to remove the splint and
allow Duryea the use of his neck. In
a few days it is thought that he will be
able to use his neck as previous to the

Fell from a Hay Wagon.

While engaged unloading hay, at
his farm near the Red Mill Tuesday
afternoon Richard Ivey the we'll known
dairyman, fell to the floor, sustaining
injuries of a very painful nature. He
was standing on the extreme edge of
the wagon, pulling on the hay fork
rope, when it broke, and he fell back
wards to the hard floor below, a dis
tance of twelve feet, striking on his
head and shoulders. DR.. L. G.. Har-
ter was hastily summoned, who after
examining the unfortunate man, found
that an artery on his forehead had
been cut, and that several stitches
were necessary. He was otherwise
considerably cut and bruised.

proceeded to Heddens White House
Restaurant where the turtle was
served i'll soup. The party num-
bered thirteen. According to tradi.
ton, this was an unlucky aggre-
gate, but it had no effect on the
evenings enjoyment. After the
feast, the jolly crowd gave few
fashionable serenades, in different
sections of the town. If the author
only knew of the advertising given

that he would present every one
with a copy of my Old New

A disastrous fire broke out at
Centralia Friday night and before
it could be eXtinguished a large
ware house and a barn were com
pletely destroyed together with all
the contents. The fire was first dis
covered abont six O'Clock in the
evening, in Patrick Bradley's barn,
and spread rapidly until a ware
house owned by William Davis was
enveloped in flames. An alarm was
sounded, and the fire company
quickly responded, and soon had
three streams of water at work, lin
the burning structures. Owing tc
the large quantity of hay and com,
bustible material in the warehouse
it was impossible to save the build
ings and the firemen confined theil
efforts in confning the fire. Mr..
Davis loss, beside the warehouse
is about $1,000 in stock, such as
flour, hay and other merchandise
while Mr.. Bradley's loss will foo
up to about $500. The general i'm
preston is that the fire was of in
cendiary origin.
