HAD SILVER ON BRAIN.
The Dropping OF a Trepine OF
Veteran Caused Him a
Four Years Nap.

Lockport, n. Y, July 30.-Reuben
Wood, veteran of the Civil War, a
member of the Fourteenth heavy ar
tiilery and the Fifty-Fifth infantry,
who is visiting friends here, relates
i marvellous experience.
At Antietam he was wounded in
the head, and a silver plate was in
serted III tie frontal bone. He was
an inmate Cf the Soldiers home at
Bath and in May, 1905. started for
Hampton Roads. At Waverly his sill
yer plate dropped down on his brain
driving him mad. He remembered
nothing from that time until last
May. He came out Of his long sleep,
his first sensation being ray OF
fight.
Wood says he felt as II he had oy-
erslept. He had troubled dreams
through the long slumber and at times
he thought enemies were trying u
arouse him. Several times he heard
the call to arms, but was unable to get
his eyes open and something seemed
to pinion his arms.
When he opened his eyes after his
four-years' nap the veteran says he
began to talk of events back in 1905
as If they had just occurred.
He told a doctor OF the silver plate
in his head. The plate was lifted by
The surgeon and fastened in place
with gold threads, and Wood imme-
diately recovered his normal mental
condition. He is on his way to Buffa-
10 to present his papers and collect
back pensions due him since 1905.

When the monthly reports are COM
