OTTAWA. Canada, July 2s.-American

military jurisdiction cannot be taken by
civil authorities. In case this soldier Is
tried by court-maftial he cannot again be
tried by the civil courts.
In view OF the fact that the young lady's
relatives assert that the soldier shot after
an escaping prisoner most carelessly and
that was why Miss Caidenhead lost her life,
this opens up q very delicate legal point.
The Dominion government has appointed
Attorney e. g. B. Hutton to represent 1t
at the Caidenhead inquest. Many are await

BREAKING UP A WASP NEST.

a runaway in two directions, for the wasps

both the farmer and his horse; the latter

20 FEET OF WIRE NEAR HEART.
Aneurism Seems to Be Cured When
All This Is Removed

PHILADELPHIA, July 26.--Nature and
silver wire twenty feet long saved
the life of Fred Williams at the end of one
of the most remarkable operations on rec
ord 1t was for aneurism of the aorta, and
was performed upon Williams in the Med
ico-Chirurgical Hospital by d. James P.
Mann
Williams, who is thirty-nine years old, a
barber and man of immense vitality, no
ticed a swelling on his breast. The barber
went to the hospital and there was placed
upon the operating table without having
been etheriZed. A hollow needle was
plunged into the aorta, an through this
the silver wire was fed from a spool. The
thickness of the wire was about that of a
No. GO cotton thread.
AS the wire was fed into the g-eat blood
vessel it coiled itself close in the form of
cylinder. which fitted exactly the inner
surface of the effected parts. Then the
needle was withdrawn and the little wound
made by it was dressed.
The process that was then set up in the
weakened part was that the blood clotted
over the wires and ''organized" new wall,
strengthening that which had been weak
ened by the rheumatic growth. The efficacy
of this organization depends upon the
general condition of the patient and the
quality of his blood.
The operation upon William was PEI
formed two months ago. Last week he
came into the hospital with blood trickling
from a point hole in his chest. Again
Williams was placed on the operating table
The blood was found to be coming from a
wound from which protruded the tip Of the
silver wire that had been coiled inside his
aorta. With great care the whole strand
was taken out and then to the amazement
Of everybody the bleeding stopped
There is every indication that the barber
is now absolutely well, and that the inne-
coating of the aorta is sufficiently strong to
reinforce the weakened tissue that lies out
