n'DOWELL SURGERY
How Abcesses are Treated in That
Country.

JEFF Adams OF Mcdowell vas in Jhc
city yesterday. He related the story
of a curious, extremely painful but
highly successful surgical operation
recently performed there. The meth
cd is referred to veterinary surgeons
in general for the subject of the op-
Grafton was a horse.
Air. Adams said the animal was a
very valuable mare belonging to ore
OF his neighbors. An ailment Of he
head developed which the owner. who
knew nothing whatever about the in
terror of ~ horse. diagnosed as u gath
ing under the bone below the eye. lie
said there was something in there
which ought to come out and until it
had come out there could be no hope
of relief for the mare But the thing
was to get il out. The more the own
er thought of il the more ne conclud-
ed that the better way would be 10
right to the seat of the ailment in the
most direct way possible.
1t was then that he bean his re-
searches into the anatomy Of the
horse. The only source of Information
available was the skull of a dead
horse. He perused il patiently for a
day or two and cut hole into thai
part Of IL corresponding To the part
which he thought he would have to
cut through to get at the seat Of the
mares disorder. When he had per
fected his education he found himself

IN A JUSTICES COURT
Witnesses Vote to Determine the De.
gree of the Crime.

a man who lately had occasion t.
visit Apache county yesterday related
-unheard of thing which took place
in a Justice court while he was there
\ man was to be given a preliminary
examination on a charge of felony. The
crime though was one which was sus-
-ceptible- of reduction to Il misdemeanor.
Before the case was called the witness
IS got together and organized and dis
Cussed the degree Of the crime Of the
defendant. After they had talked it
over they decided to vote on the ques-
tion of making the crime a INSIDE
meanor or leaving it a felony. a pre-
ponderance Of the vote was for re-
duction and the evidence was presum-
ably modified sufficiently TO show that
the man had committed only a misdea-
meanOr. This is said by lawyers with
wide knowledge of precedents to be
the first instance ON record Of Witness
IS taking such a forward part i'm q trial
This lecalls another funny thing that
happened In an Apache justices court
several years ago. a couple of Mcxi-
cans We're arrested for stealing stock
and were tried before a justice of the
peace. It was not a preliminary trial
either. The defendants We're found
guilty without any unnecessary delay
and were sentenced to two years at
Yuma.
The county seat authorities We're not
apprised Of the action of this court but
a constable at once set off with the
prisoners for Yuma. He offered himself
and his charges at the door of the
penitentiary and Thomas Gates who
was then superintendent. asked for the
commitment. The constable was pro
vided with what it had been supposed
would be The necessary paper. The
document was an informal statement
by the justice Of the peace setting
forth the crime of the men and the fact
Of their conviction. They We're not ad-
mitted

hampered by lack of surgical iustru .
mentS. He had absolutely nothing
with which he could bore jnto the
skull of a living horse. Beside, he
would have to have help. He brought
the mare and the Old skull 20 Mr..
Adams ranch and explained what he
intended to do. MIR. Adams tried to
dissuade him: in the FIRST place lie told
his neighbor that it was by no means
certain that the diagnosis was a cor
rect one; if it were the remedy would
be attended by great pain and prob
ably the death of the animal. This
thing of boring hole into the skull
of a horse should be left TO men who
had made a business Of it and should
not be undertaken by a man whose
energies had been devoted TO punch
ms cattle. But the neiEhbor insisted
that he had the whole business fig
ured out beyond the possibility OF a
mistake and Mr. Adams consented to
lend his assistance.
In the matter of surgical instru-
ments he was not much better or theIl
his neighbor. The only boring appar-
atus shout the ranch was an inch ar
ger. The mare was accordingly thrown
down and secured and the 1~ner
again consulting his bouy work on
anatomy marked out on the mares
face where he should begin sinking.
At that point according 10 the old
skull there were three Iayers of lone.
the first heavy and the other two
lighter.
The boring proceeded and mir.
Adams said he never Witnessed any
thing that SO affected his nerves. The
suffering Of the mare was terrible AMI
the crushing of the bone was most
siCkening. At last the boriuE Vas
completed and there was a great dis
charge Of pus through the big hole.
But the operation was not finished.

BIRD CUSTOMS.
The Hnbtt OF billing and the stock
Doves Bow In a Fight.

The Habit OF Billing and the stock
Doves Bow In "a Fight.
An Eng.ishmnn, Edmond Selous, has
been watching doves at play and In
combat. OF the habit Of billing" in
which so many birds engage when they
are nesting, he says: Where birds now
merely BILL they once, In my opinion,
fed each other. or the male fed the fc-
male, but pleasure came TO be expert
enced in the contact alone, and the pas
sage Of food, which was never neces
sary, gradually became obsolete.
think it by no means improbable that
our own kissing may have originated
In much the same way, and that birds
when thus billing experience the same
sort Of pleasure that we do when we
kiss must be quite obvious to any one
who has watched them"
OF n peculiarly Of the stock dove Mr..
Selous writes: when these birds fight
they constantly Interrupt the flow Of
the combat by bowling In the most alb
surd way, not to one another, but gen
orally, SO to speak, for no object or
purpose whatever, apparently, but only
because they must do 80. The fact ID
the bow has become formula of court
ship, and, rs counting and fighting are
intimately connected, the one suggests
the other In the mind of the bird, who
bows all at once under misconcep-
ton"
