Threaded a Needle and Sewed up
Wound In His Leg.
The grit displayed by Samuel
Hodgdon, shoe maker with place
of business at 1888 East Market st. is
remarkable.
He was. working at his bench
Wednesday when a knife with
which he was trimming leather,
slipped and cut a deep cash in his
leg.
He succeeded in stopping the flow
of blood aud then, instead of calling
a surgeon, he threaded up one of his
own needles and sewed up the gap
ping wound. 1t was necessary to
take II stitches. The job was appar-
emily good one, and as it shows no
signs indicating any additional trou-
Bile, 1t is 5believed1the operation will
prove a success. - !. -

small birdshot, and as the queen was
about to take her plunge he let drive the

THE INFANTICIDE CASE.

While City Detective Murphy and his
assistant, Charles Ray, and several other
members of the police force have been
working diligently on the infanticide
case, no clue has been found tending to
show the mother of the infant picked up
in a Wyoming street alley Sunday morn
ing, and the case will in all probability
be added to the long list of mysterious
crimes, the ferreting out of which is yet
to come.
At the inquest which was held by
Coroner Phil Julien at TachelPs last
night no new facts were brought out.
Mrs. M. A. Toole, the proprietress of the
Hartman house, testified to the effect
that Sunday morning she descended the
stairs at the rear of her place, and her
attention was drawn to a peculiar look
ing bundle lying in the ash box. She
looked closer and noticed that the foot
of an infant protruded from the bundle.
The child was wrapped in some old out
ing flannel and a cotton blanket, it's
lower extremities being somewhat ex-
posed; the air was somewhat raw, and
the baby was blue from the cold. She
called another lady and the two took
the unfortunate infant into the house
and administered restoratives. A por-
ton of the flannel had been stuffed into
the mouth of the little one, and the child
had been laid face downward in the box,
the head being lower than the body; the
body remained at the lodging house
about two hours, after which it was re-
moved to the home of the Associated
Charities.
Mrs. Julia Macpherson, matron at the
Home, said the infant had beer brought
to tha institution about l o'clock Sun
day afternoon. She stated that every
effort had been made to save it but it
died early Monday morning.
DR.. Sheeran, who attended the child,
said death was due to congestion OF
the lungs resulting from the severe ex-
posure to which the child had been sub
jected, and the jury returned a verdict
to tina effect.
