Stitches Wound with 8 aok Irvine

REDDINa, Jan. 18-Elijah Groom,
the aged cattle raiser and horseman
OF the Gas Point section, is man Of
marvellous fortitude. News has
reached Redding OF remarkable
surgical operation that be perform
ed upon himself with the crudest OF
instruments and from which he bids
fair to recover.
Groom, who is now rs years old,
became widely known as the owner
OF Johnny Allen, the famous quarter
horse. He has large herd OF cattle
at his Gas Point ranch. With his
dog he was driving the cattle sever
al days ago, when savage steer
charged upon him aud caught him
in the right thigh with one OF its
long horns. Groom fought to avoid
being tossed aud the tip OF the horn
ripped through the flesh like Q
knife. Despite his oge he is q
powerful man and he freed himself
from the steer.
Again the enraged animal charged
aud cut a cash ten inches long near
the frst wound. Groom had lost
much blood when he finally escaped
over the fence that surrounds his
house.
Groom summoned neighbor and
asked him to remain so that he
would not die alone if his wound
proved fatal. He CURLY declined to
have messenger seut for doctor
Taking long curved sack needle
and a ball OF Irvine, he removed hit
torn clothing and commenced tc
stitch the longer of the gashes. He
never tlinched while he made twenty
deep stitches, drew the edges OF the
wound together and tied the thread
The neighbor got very nervous, bu
Groom remained perfectly cool
Though quite weak, the aged NAL
