etantly ordered the lights turned on and
rushing upon the stage, he called to the
panic-stricken people to be seated, telling
them there was no danger and imploring
them to remember the terrible Iroquois

Gained down and Mr.. Garen continued to
talk, explaining that the exits were all
open and that the alarm had been caused

MR.. VANN BETTER
Expected to Live and That
His Face Will be
Well Preserved.

There are two statements made by the
physicians of Young Harvey Vann, who
accidently shot himself Wednesday at
Wake Forest that have been heard with
much qualification.
One made late last night is that his
condition then indicated that he would
live, and the other that despite the wound
In the lower part of the face it would be
partially restored to shape, and the dis
figurement would not be as great as at
first feared
The wound made by the discharge OF
the gun, as its muzzle lay below his chin,
entered the soft part back of the bone,
infilcting some injury to both jaw bones,
tearing the tongue badly and injurying
the nose. The physicians have been able
to put the face in shape, bring together
the parts of the jaw bones, give attention
to part of the tongue and almost entirely
restore the nose.
No exact statement of the condition in
which the wounds will permanently leave
him, ii he RECEIVERS, can be made, as the
course of natures healing and physicians
work will necessarily be slow.
Every case possible is given the wound
ed young man, and his mother, who is in
delicate health, is with him, as is also Dr.
r. T. Vann, his father. He is a young
fellow highly liked and the brighter out
look for him will be heard of with gratifi-
cation by Il host of friends.
