pathic Hospital, suffering from frac-
tured skull, caused by falling from a tree

dank. trepanned the frontal bone and re-
moved a large clot Of blood that had coll
lected upon the brain The operation was
a successful one.
While the operation was in progress the
physicians found that the forehead had
been crushed in by the fall and that g
crack in the skull extended TO each tenn
poral bone Gamble is semi-conscious and
his chances for recovery are about equal.
When the Rev. Father Hughes called at
the hospital yesterday afternoon Gamble
