having 1S been given chloroform for the
orroose OF having a tooth extracted.
Fl SIe and her mother went to Doctor
n Bnobees office together and asked to
n have the anesthetic administered. The
Girls heart action appeared normal and
n 'Aoroform was given. Doctor Bugbee
n ,y-racted a section of the tooth and at
n -bst point the girl began to gasp. Doc
II Ar Bugbee realized that the action of
n I'm heart was failing, and administered
y ryorauyes, but without avail. States
n Attorney K. {. Bacon made investiga-
n non and found Doctor Bugbee blameless.
Il Doctor Bugbee, who is a thoroughly

Most Important Battles.
With the view of encouraging the
study Of the history of the civil war by
school teachers and school children, the
Manchester Union some time ago offered
h aseries Of prizes open to competition for
those correctly naming the majority of
The ten great or important battles
fought during that struggle. The ac-
Curacy Of the replies was to be gagged
with reference to the expert opinion of
Gen. 0. Q. Howard The competition is
closed and Gen Towards list of the ten
battles which in his judgment were most
important has been published. 1t is
made up in the following order, repre-
Snting the relative importance OF the
conflicts Gettysburg, Chickamauga,
Auetam Shiloh, Missionary Ridge, in
Guiding Lookout Mountain; Atlanta,
Nashville Appomattox, Cedar Creek,
Bentonylle Gen. Howard frankly says
nhndS it very difficult to discriminate
between some OF these battles and other
important engagements The ten he
submits he has selected particularly with
view to the consequences which fol-
lowed from them. They may be re-
gadtd therefore as in the category Of
decisive battles.
