d ORTLAND, ore.-Sojourning here
i the last several weeks has been a
man who has attracted widespread at.
tention in medical circles. He Is
Thomas P. Dunn, O native of Mon
tana, who, as a member Of the First
Montana volunteers in the Spanish
American war, was shot through the
head at Caloocan in the Philippines
more than twelve years ago and is
alive to tell of 1t today.
When Dunn fell wounded on the
battlefield Of Caloocan he was car.
ried to the ward where the fatally
injured were placed and no one paid
any attention to him for two days, as
there were too many other wounded
whom the physicians and surgeons in
charge believed had better chances
for recovery. At the end Of two days,
during which the Montana boy lay
practically without attention, the sur.
geon in charge remarked upon his
vitality and decided to try to save his
life.
A Mauser bullet had entered the
left side Of his head Just above the
temple and emerged from the right
side just below the temple, a wound
that had previously proved fatal as
far as any of the medical men who
have examined Dunn ever heard.

His remarkable recovery and the
fact that he retains his reason are
the most remarkable features Of this
case. While he 10 alive, in good
health and able to walk around the
streets and converse with his friends
and acquaintances,. Dunn is handi'
capped by the loss Of all sense OF
smell or taste and has lost the sight
of his right eye. Despite these af.
flictions he bears his lot with forti-
tude. He cannot enjoy meal, for no
matter what choice viands he may or
der, he cannot relish them any moro
than he would bareback and salt pork.
The loss of the sense Of taste he
looks upon as his worst afliction.
Tommy Dunn, as he is known among
his friends, is a ward Of the govern
ment, though not Of his own choosing,
for he has relatives and influential
friends who take care Of him and look
after his comfort at all times. His
impaired eyesight has proved an OBJ
stacle toward his securing employ
ment, and idleness Is something he
breads because Of his aflictions. His
only amusement Is to join several con-
genial companions and tell stories Of
past experiences, or to take street car
rides or journeys through the country
in automobiles. He cannot go to the
theater, being handicapped by partial
blindness and fearful lest the glare Of
the lights shall impair the sight Of
his remaining eye.
As q ward Of the government Dunn
must report at Washington or some
other military headquarters at certain
periods and to undergo the periodical
examination required by the surgeon
