J. M. Shirley of Eddyville was in our
city Tuesday. Last October Mr.. Shir-
ley sustained fracture of the cap of
the left elbow, and of late the injury
has been giving him considerable
trouble; and his mission in Toledo was
to obtain medical aid. DIR. Wetmore
performed very successful operation
removing over pint Of serum from a
sac that had formed between the bones.
There is every hope of Mr.. Shirley re-
covering the full use of his arm.
Toledo was the scene of an accident
last Tuesday afternoon, by which
George. the 14-year-old son of +. w.
Garfield was very seriously injured
George and his cousin. Harvey Win
sor. were sitting by a stove in the
latter's home and Harvey was handling
gun which was accidently discharged,
and the contents struck George, wound
Ing him in several places. Harvey ran
for assistance and DR.. Wetmore was
summoned. Upon examination he
found severe wounds In the left thigh
and below the knee; but the most
dangerous one was caused by two shot
which had apparently glanced from
the stove, and passing into the scrotum
severed the spermatlc artery. Owing
to the dangerous nature Of the latter
| wound, DR.. Wetmore deemed it best
to apply compress bandage to stop
the arteral flow rather than resort to
the more delicate operation OF taking
up and tying the artery after which
he dressed the wounds in the leg
The hemorrhages were soon stopped
and the unfortunate boy was made as
comfortable as the nature of the
case would admit. Up to the hour of
going to press there has been but little
change in his condition for the better.
DR.. Wetmore considers the chances
about even.
