For some years past "a well as AT pres

departure from the old methods is
largely due 10 the results that have
been obtained along these lines with

services of six powerful men to
hold Mr.. McCorkle on the operat-

it is believed that Mr.. McCorkle
can be saved from any other SER
ious mark than the loss of the
eye.
For 1s years Mr. McCorkle has
been the trusted friend and en-
ploye of Col. Leroy Springs of
Lancaster. and specialist was or
dered from New York by Mr..
Springs as soon as the sad occur
renee was made known. IL is said
that Mr.. Springs has declared
that he will spare no means to
have Mr.. McCorkle restored to
health and usefulness. The escape
from immediate death is due to
the fact that the impact of the
blow was caught full in the face,
and the brain was missed by the
