DOCTORS AN OSTRICH
Surgeon Operates on Big Bird Under
Trying Conditions.
Professional Wrestler Succeeds in
Downing the Unwilling Patient
and the Doctor Then Treats
Long Cut in the Birds Neck.

A car load Of ostriches came into
Indianapolis by freight the other day
Their presence was made known by
an impatient ring at the telephone
of DR.. Garstang, local surgeon of the
Big Four. The doctor answered.
Can you treat ostriches?" g voice
asked.
Il might" said the doctor, think
ing some wag friend was talking.
"Or might treat parrots or hum
ming birds, but don't make a spe-
cialty of it,"
I'm not kidding" the voice con-
tinued, as he explained that he was
the Brightwood station agent and
that a car load of ostriches was
"hung up" there. He further ex-
planned that one of the birds had
accidentally cut its neck and there
was fear that it was seriously in
jured.
DR.. Garstang at once communicate
ed with DR.. w. B. Craig, veterinarian.
Both leaped into the buggies and hur-
ried to the Massachusetts, avenue sta
tiOn, to which point the car contain
ing the ostriches was taken from
Brightwood. DR.. Craig was accom-
panied by Maurice Lynch, his driver.
wherein he was lucky, as Maurice is
a wrestler and boxer of no little con-
sequence.
When the doctors entered the car
they found it full of ostriches, whose
long necks were as high as the roof
and as low as the floor. DR., Craig,
who is almost as big as an ostrich
himself, faced the largest group,
containing nine. A big black ostrich
daTted out his head and tried to
seize the doctors Scottish Rite pin.
The Washington bee., 1901-11-23

Another cleverly pulled off suspend
er buckle from an inquiring laborer
who had intruded into the car. He
fed. The injured ostrich was bleed
ing fl ON a long wound in its neck.
DR.. Craig understood at a glance
what was to be done. The wound
must be treated with antiseptics and
sewed up. The sewing, he said, would
be like sewing a bootleg. But how
to do this was a question. He APP
pealed to the two men who had
charge of the ostriches. Carl Kirk
ham, the keeper, said the only way
was TO get men enough to hold the
ostrich. There was himself and his
assistant. Fred White. They were
about half enough. The doctor
turned to Lynch.
Here's your star engagement on
the mat" he said.
Lynch said naught. but rolled up
his sleeves. The box car was pulled
alongside an empty ear and a gang
way constructed. Across this the
ostrich was forced with some difficulty.
The chief danger, Kirkham explained,
was that injury makes an ostrich
ferocious, and a blow from his foot
is like the knockout blow of a mule.
The keepers got tbs bird by its
mighty wings and Lynch got a ham
merlock hold.
There was a struggle, much grunt-
ing and a few expletives not usually
printed, says the Indianapolis News,
and then down went the ostrich.
Lynch changed his hold and got
half-NeIson and a foot hold. The big
bird tried vainly to rise again, but
Lynch and the Keepers had him foul.
DR.. Craig washed the wounds with
antiseptics and took 20 stitches ON
each side. The injury was probably
caused by a splinter and may be IA
tai. The neck was not bandaged, but
was plastered with antiseptic dress
ing. Then the ostrich was allowed
to rise and Lynch took a long breath.
shake" he said. Il have no hard
feelings"
The big bird wheeled and lifted up
its foot. 1t set it down alongside
Lynch's left leg, and under it half Of
Lynch's trousers leg went too.
Lynch received a new pair, with the
compliments of the Big Four.
The Is Ostriehes belong TO Thomas
