1t was exactly two h0urS alter the
shooting that Mr.. Gonzales was placed
on the operating table. The operation
lasted about two hours. The, patient
bore the operation we'll and, after be-
ing put in bed, had a pulse of 115-l20
and respiration Of 81. The operation
was done by Or. LeGrade Query, as
sisted by DR.. j. II. McIntosh and DR..
Lindsay Peters. Dr.. D. S. Pope
gave the anaesthetic. DR.. B. W. Tay-
lor was chief consultant, with DR.. C.
w. Barron and half dozen other Co
lumbia physicians were present. The
bullet entered the right side, between
the eighth and ninth ribs. It then
passed through the left lobe of the
liver, about one inch from the border.
Then it grazed the interior wall of the
stomach, cutting through two of the
three coats, leaving a confusion about
two inches in diameter. The intestines
were then torn in four different places.
The wound of exit was just about the
free border of the ribs.
At S o'colck Mr.. Gonzales had not
recovered from the anaesthetic and his
condition was otherwise unchanged,
his pulse being ll5.
The most serious wound is the cut
ting Of the transverse colon intestine
for about an inch and half, almost
severing the intestine. This and the
three other wounds of the intestines
were carefully sewed. After the ope-
ration the physicians reported that the
patient stood the ordeal beautifully and

it could be. All the afternoon mes

sTRATTON'S MENTAL CONDITION.


j. E. Brown, an attorney of Colorado
Springs and one of the executors of the
will of the late W. S. Stratton, the million
aire mine owner, who died in Colorado
recently, has been in Jeffersonville, Ind,
for several weeks ascertaining what prog
ress has been made by the attorneys for
Harry Stratton, son of w. S. Stratton. who
have been seeking evidence of hereditary
insanity in the Stratton family. The con-
testor of the will alleges that his father
was mentally incompetent when he drew
the will, leaving him only $4,000. and he
has retained Colorado lawyers to push his
case. One of them. p. B. Ackley. was sent
to Jeffersonville to secure evidence that the
elder Stratton had formerly been consid-
cred cratic at times and that insanity
had been frequent in the history of the
Stratton family. Mr.. Brown found that
Ackley had found nothing TO substantiate
the theory.
Byron c. Logan, blacksmith who lives
in this city and who was remembered in
STATIONS will. accompanied Mr.. Brown
He returned to Indianapolis yesterday and
said he did not think young Stratton would
be successful in his attempt to break the
will. although he might secure a decree
from the court which would modify the
will and increase his legacy considerably.

AN OLD COUPLE IN COURT
JUDGE ALLEN REFUSED TO GRANT
THEM A LEGAL SEPARATION.
He Told Them to Try to Be Happy
as They Nenred the Grave
Other Court Cases.

Judge Allen heard case of Betsy and
are out" yesterday Ii was a suit for d.
vorce. The plaintiff was Elias G.. Keesey.
seventy-six years old. He asked divorce
from his wife. Sarah ]. Keesey who is six
ty-nine.
The evidence at the trial showed that the
tribulations of the old couple were puerile.
The infirnlity of age had added infirmity
of temper, and the old man believed life
with his old spouse uncomfortable. He has
been living with his married daughter,
while unmarried adopted daughter has
been cherishing the old woman. Both
daughters disapproved a separation So
Judge Allen said
II am not going to give you a divorce.
You should try to end your days, now near
ing the grave, in happiness. Forget the
past: let peace fill your hearts instead OF
malice. If you cannot live together live
separately. but do not ask that your mari
tai bonds be broken"
Keesey expostulated that his wife's con-
duct would drive him crazy, but Judge
Allen would not be moved.
Keesey is a carpenter and kept little
garden at his home. The only charges in
the complaint were of i'll temper.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
So long as we have the superstitious
and the credulous Just that long will we
have believers in miracles. People who look
for ghosts. or miracles. always find them.
They come to persons of great expecta-
tions." The bigger the story the easier
to believe. Probabilities, or possibilities,
cut no figure in the case. To the credulous
all things are credible. The less the evil
dence the greater the faith. Reason is
relegated to the rear. Evidence is en-
tirely superfiuous. The unknowable and the
impossible are perfectly easy to the super
stitious- Everything goes" from Joshua
to Jonah. and from the pig story to the
deity of Christ. They are entirely satisfied
that dogmas like the trinity. or transub-
sanitation. are true, because they are so
mysterious. Mysteries what they are
looking for, and the greater the mystery
the better. Christians have the miracles of
Christ. Mohammedans the miracles of Mo-
manned and Buddhists the miracles of
Buddha. But. after all. one is as reasonable
as another. 1t would be just as easy to
suspend the laws of the universe i'm large
things as 1T would be to set them aside
In small things. There are some things
that God cannot do! He cannot make two
and two equal five. He cannot make all the
parts of an object more less than the
whole. Indt Wnlcn is raise can never be
made true by any power in all the universe
Immutable law cannot be changed by gods
or men. But my friend Orthodox thinks
that the maker of a watch ought TO he
able to change it's construction so as to
make II strike II before after noon
True. but neither matchmaker or world
maker can change the meridian: that is TO
say, make IL o'clock II. Those persons
who believe in the sixty-six miracles of
Jesus first assume the truth of one and
then bases the other sixty-five on that as
sumption They hrst assume the deity of
Christ and then declare that 'all things
are possible with Cod" which last assump-
ton is no better than the first I do nor
believe that ''all the gods at once" could
suddenly stop the sun in his course without
smashing the whole solar system and
probably the whole universe. Even If there
is a power behind and above nature IL
cannot stultify its own laws. Laws of ma
ture are not abrogated. The law of CRAWL
tation cannot be repealed. Let any one
consider for a moment what proof il would
require to convince him of the truth of a
miracle to-day. and see how he will come
out If testimony would amount to moth
ing now how can it be entirely satisfactory
when IL comes down through the CEN
turtles? If ii is altogether matter of
faith" as the Journal so tersely puts il
let the churches and creedmakers saw so.
and not pretend that they have any evil
dence of miraculous conception or of
any other miracle. HETERO DOXY.
