LIVES WITH a BROKEN NECK.
Now Regis Is Suing Railroad for
$4,000 Damages.

CONVICTION, KY, Aug. fisherman
Regis, who is suing the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad for damages because one Of
its trains struck him and broke his neck,
walked here with his wife from Garrison,
KY. a distance of 1G4 miles.
Regis came because his suit is to be
heard in the court here. He walked the
distance because he had 10 money TO pay
his fare, and he was determined that the
case should not go by default because OF
his absence
Regis and his wife arrived. after an aw-
full trip over the hot and dusty roads The
| soles Of their shoes were worn through and
they were almost in despair with fatigue.
They brought with them a bottle of
smoonshin6'' whisky to use III emergen-
cies. When they got here they crossed the
river to Cincinnati to see the sights. They
took a few drinks Of the 'moonshine" to
cheer them up. Then they finished the
bottle and became drunk They were ar
rested for drunkenness while dancing in
the streets Of Cincinnati
Mind my neck" said Regis to the po-
Hceman = broke 1t last March. Handle
ME gently Then the story came out.
The Chesapeake and Ohio train struck
him when he was in the middle of the
track hurting him thirty yards against the
wall of warehouse breaking his neck and
paralyzing his left arm and part of his left
side.
The local doctors had never seen man
alive with broken neck, and sent to this
city fer DR.. B. F. Eckman- He confirmed
their diagnosis that the neck was broken
near TIE shoulder. The vertebrae were
entirely disconnected but tho spinal cord
Of course was not severed.
DR.. Eckman performed the dangerous
and difficult operation of cutting out and
removing a leader on the left side of the
neck that was pulling the mans head over
and threatening to rupture the spinal cord
In eleven weeks the man was able to leave
his bed.
Then he began suit against the railroad
through Lawyer ]. n. Hutchins Of Gov
ington. He claims $40 600 damages.
The railroad may put in as a defence

A Queer Specimen.

Marietta has quite reputation for
being able to show queer specimens of
the tramp tribe, but. yesterday there
was visible on our streets one of the
most original and unique specimens of
the genus hobo seen here for some
time. The man in question was small
weaenzed person and reminded one Of
the fancied pictures of gnome.
His clothes hung in tatters and were
held together by some of the most
original means of fastening we have
even seen employed. In his eyes one
could quickly notice that wild restless,
hunted look which generally distnig-
uishes an unbalanced from a sane per-
son. This example of the hobo class
was rather hard to approach, but on fl
nally being cornered he gave his home
as being situated in Washington, ID. G.
He said that he was going to Parkers-
burg to earn money enough to buy
tobacco, of which he was very fond.
Over his shoulder was hung an i'm
mense bundle of leafy willows withes,
which he used to make baskets with.
Unmindful of crowd which had gath
cred around him, he began to strip the
wollows of their branches and shape
them for the baskets. On seeing a
couple OF colored people he started and
ran, saying that he was afraid of ne
groes and those that kept them. On
being told of our excellent police sys-
TEN here and the comfortable quarters
at the City Hall he shook the dust of
Marietta from his feet and departed.

W est side Fire.

An alarm was turned in from box 81
corner of Market and Gilman streets,
last evening. Department No. l re-
sponded and arrived at the scene Of the
fire on the West Side, where No. 2 had
already arrived and was busily engag-
ed in fighting the flames A gas jet in
the home of Mr. Ed Bowers, clerk in
Hutchinson's Bargain Store, had come
in contact with the wall, and as the jet
was not properly screened, the ceiling
was heated to very high temperature
and a small hole burnt in the wood
work near the edge of the ceiling. The
fire is supposed to have started from
the heated woodwork and then to
have spread through the back portion
of the house.
The family was sitting on the front
steps at the time. Mrs. Bowers, hap
pening to go in the house, smelled the
odor of the burning woodwork and no
ticed the unusually bright light. On
investigating she discovered the fire
and informed lady boarder who had
retired to her room, of the danger
threatening them.
The fire was gotten under control in
short time by the firemen. The
back part of the house was charred
and burned, but wa, not burned down.
Most Of the household goods were re-
moved. though badly damaged by the
water which flooded the house.
The house and contents were fully
insured. Mr.. Bowers was attending
lodge meeting at the time of the fire
and did not know of the accident
which had befallen his home until all
was over.
