following interesting report Of a man
who is living and we'll with bullet
in his brain;
The Central Tri-State Medical So
ciety is in session at Clyffeside Park
and the physicians who attend the
session will hear some interesting
matters discussed, one Of the cases
to be examined being that Of Joseph
Miller, the c. U baggagemaster,
who shot himself in March last while
on his train near Lexington. and who
was taken TO the C. & o. hospital at
Huntington, where he lay between
life and death for weeks
Miller's recovery is remarkable
one. The bullet entered the under
part of the chin, ranged upward,
passing through the tongue and
crashing into the brain, where It
lodged, but one and half inches
back of the left eye. There 1t now
lies, and was photographed last night
by committee OF Ashland doctors.
The bullet is of 3S-calIber.
Miller seems in perfect health. and
says that the presence of the ball
there does not give him much trou-

smell to some extent, The man,

surgeons had advised the operation.
