GUNSHOT LUNG WOUNDS.
An Army Surgeon Relates Case
Similar to senator GOebers.

THE peculiar wound received by Senator
Goebel by a rifle ball, like all technically
so-called gunshot wounds through the
lungs, are usually fatal, though there are
cases in the books of recovery from such
lung perforations," said an army surgeon
to a Star reporter.
These exceptional cases, however. are
very rare. l recall one of the very few
which has come under my personal observa-
ton, and, as a curious coincidence, the VIC
tim was d kentuckian.
Il was stationed at the Preside, the mill
tary post at San Francisco, about ten years
ago. One day, while at dinner, l was sum-
moned to the hospital by an orderly, who
informed me that young soldier had at
tempted his life.
Il found the man on a cot in the usual
state of semi-coilapse from shock. bullet
from a Springfield rifle had completely per-
forated the left lung, passing close to the
aorta and the superior rena cara. That one
or the other of the great arteries was not
severed is remarkable from a professional
standpoint, and to layman signifed that
the time for the young man TO die had not
yet come.
internal hemorrhage, the feature of Sem
ator Goebers case, did not manifest itself
to an alarming degree, and the prognoSls
was favorable. In due time the soldier re-
covered and was discharged from the army,
though his general health was, of course,
impaired. 1t was one Of the most inter-
esting cases professionally that ever came
under my personal notice.
1.-The young man enlisted from Kentucky.
His comrades told me that he had been ad-
mitted to the bar and was of good family
but had enlisted because his sweetheart
had Tilted him. In a fit of dependency,
alone and away from home he had seated
himself the side of his cot in the bar
racks, placed his rifle at the proper angle
and pulled tire trigger with his toe.
THE ball passed through his body as
have described and buried itself in the cell
ing, knocking off pieces of plaster on the
floor. The fact that the young man was
Kentuckian had slipped my mind until the
shooting of Senator Goebel made it a sin
gular and sad coincidence"

Bad Wreck on the burlington.

The Prairie du Chen Union says tn,
northern bound freight on the Burling
ton was wrecked two miles south of De
Soto, Tuesday evening last. A huge
boulder from the side of the bluff rolled
down across the track, breaking and
badly bending the rails. The train was
being hauled by two engines, and the
engineer and fireman Of the first jumped
when the accident occurred escaping
without injury. Both engines ran off
the track not leaving the grade, but
twenty-five freight cars most of which
were loaded, tumbled off the grade onto
the bank, some of them rolling over
into the river. No one was seriously
injured, although one of the brakemen
received some bad scratches in the face
The boulder which came down, was
perhaps the size of box car, and rolled
over the track into the river.
