On May II fifty years ago a couple
OF broken-down tramp steamers
/ slipped into the harbor of Marsala at
the extreme western tip of the island
or Sicily and landed a small body of
men, about a thousand in number, I'M
trained, Ill equipped. poorly armed.
Before the decentralization was fully
completed the vessels were captured
by squadron of Neapolitan warships.
The thousand scurried inland out of
reach of the enemy's guns and within
three months had overrun the whole
J kingdom of the Two Sicilies and en-
tered Naples the capital. The most
amazing adventure in modern history

Wilt. OPERATE
ON BROKEN BACK
SURGEONS TO ATTEMPT AID TO
SHATTERED VERTEBRATE OF
coLoRED MINER.

An operation on Bud Elliott, the coll
Ored miner who two weeks ago sus-
tained a. broken 81 back by fall of
slate at Phillips mines in Rutledge,
will be performed this afternoon. An
X-ray picture Of the injury has been
made by the physicians and this shows
the break to have occurred at the sec
ond lumbar vertebrae. The doctors
hold out hope for the recovery Of the
injured miner claiming that owing to
the break being below the chief nerve
center, the possibility of an operation
aiding the man is quite evident The
X-ray picture clearly shows the To-
cation of the break which is a. very
serious one and would probably pre-
clude any possibility Of recovery un-
less it can be gotten at and replaced.
The back bone is seen to have shifted
some distance out Of place below the
break and portion of one vertebrate
can be seen in the plate to have been
broken off sheer. Much interest in the
outcome Of the operation is felt by the
staff Of physicians practicing at the
local hospital where the operation is
scheduled to begin at 8 o'clock this
afternoon.
