VI surgery Oh NcCk.
John c. Sheehan was "riled" yesterday
A morning paper had printed the narrowing
account Of an operation performed on him
on Saturday by DR.. Joseph Bissell and
two other surgeons, who. with the COM
plicity Of staff OF nurses. removed tumor
from Mr.. Sheehan's great Democratic
head. leaving the patient seriously i'll,
but doing as we'll as could be expected.
A reporter fastened to MIR. Sheehan's
house yesterday afternoon A young
woman opened the door.
Are any Of Mr. Sheehan's physicians in?"
she was asked
She giggled and went upstairs. Pretty
soon a man very much resembling Mr.
Shsehan appeared at the head Of the stairs
Before he was half way down the reporter
was convinced that it was Mr. Sheehan.
How are you feeling to-day. Mr. Shee-
han?" asked the reporter.
Never felt better in my life. Mr.. Shee-
han replied hastily.
After your operation, you know"
Operation! Oh, well now, wasn't that

Nonsense! l mean about the story.
I have been working right along. Worked
all day Saturday. But | have had cold
for about q week or so and DR.. Bissell was
treating it. He telephoned Mrs. Sheehan
Yesterday to find out whether / would be

overheard him. DIR. Bissell came to see
about my cold and incidentally lanced a

In the Western Had Lands
AMHERST, Mass, Oct. ls.The arrival Of
a shipment of skeletons Of prehistoric ami
mails at Amherst College from the Bad
Lands of South Dakota has interested the
students. Amherst sent an expedition to
the West last summer and the shipment
includes the first finds made by the party.
On July l the party started for the Bad
Lands, between the Cheyenne and White
rivers. Here they worked for six weeks
on the White River formation and ancient
food plains, discovering the remains Of
about five hundred animals.
The choicest specimens obtained were a
nearly complete skeleton of titanoth-
erium, about the size of an elephant a skele-
ton of an oreodon lacking only few toes.
and four rhinoceros skulls.
The party next went across the Black
Hills up Lightning Creek searching for dino
saurs with moderate success. Going thence
to Mule Creek the search was rewarded by
a rich find Of marine reptiles and fishes.
Several fishes skulls OF extinct variety
were discovered, two Of which were more
than five feet long. These finds are the
most valuable ever brought from the Bad
Lands, and when mounted will form a most
important addition to the college museum.

MAY NOT ORDER THE STRIKE.

Clash In Colorado.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. ls.-The national
officers Of the United Mine Workers Of
America have not yet issued the order for
q strike Of the miners In the employ OF the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and the
Victor Iron Company. and 1t is possible
that the strike order may not be issued
at all. Secretary Wilson said to-day that
yesterday was the earliest day, under the
resolution adopted by the executive board,
that the strike could be ordered, but this
did not mean that il could not be called at
q later day. He refused to say, however
when, IL at all, such an order would be
made.
II is admitted in labor circles that the
certainty Of coming in conflict with the
National Employers Association ia de-
terring the Mine Workers officials and the
strike order may be delayed till after the
employers hold their Chicago nesting
The miners do not like to recede but they
wish to avoid such a contest and are trying
to find some way of settling the Colorado
differences without going to extremes.
