TWINS BORN AS ONE.
Perfectly Formed Body Found Within

yesterday when little George Petzln-

life that science might benefit He
died following an operation at the
Norwegian Tabitha Hospital, Fran

was found that a child about seven
months advanced was in the process
of formation i'm its abdominal cavity
Six doctors, besides those who diG
the work, were witnesses to the opera
ton, " hich was supposed to have been
for tumor.
THE only medical term found to fit
the cas- at all is fetal inclusion. Dat
for the perfect formation of the child
it would have been classed as der
mold tumor, which may occur in eithsr
sex. and i'm which formations of diff
ferent parts of the body are perfect,
but the entire body never Is complete
ly formed.
The first thing that attracted the at
tention of the surgeons was the feet.
Closer examination showed that the
inner child was perfectly formed in
every particular.
Several doctors were called upon to
examine the boy before he was taken
to DIR. f. f. Thornton. 2605 Milwaukee
avenue, who, together with DR.. John
Dill Robertson. performed the opera

allied the child. Not until the opera
tion was started did the doctors know
the real cause of the growth i'm the
childs abdomen.
The only explanation that satisfies
many professors i'm this particular
branch of medical science is that this
case should have been the birth of
twins. instead of the one child.

TESTS MUCH "eoLD."
Many Specimens Brought to Office Of
the State Geologist.

Lansing, Mich, May 6.-Although
there are some valuable deposits of
gold in Michigan, state Geologist IT,
C. Allen says that if every specimen
submitted 10 him which Is supposed to
be gold proved to be the genuine arti-
Gle this portion of the country could be
regarded as a veritable Klondike.
Hardly a day passes that some rur-
alist does not enter the private office
OF the state geologist. and after tis-
cussing the weather and the prospects
of a bumper crop of corn for a few
minutes, slyly extracts a package from
his pocket and placing it on the geol-
ogist's desk says. what is it?"
Invariably the inquisitor thinks he
has discovered some of the precious
metal and wants the sanction of the
geologist before he advertises his prop
erty for sale upon which the substance
was found. Generally the sample which
is submitted proves TO be of no value
The other day a farmer submitted n
sample to the state geologist which
really proved to be gold. He claimed
to have found it in a well which was
dug on his farm, but the specimen was
so small and of such fine quality that
Allen concluded that 1t was nothing
more than a gold filling which had
doubtless dropped from a tooth of one
of the workmen as he was bending over
the excavation.

interesting features of a case which
has attracted attention throughout
Oregon. Washington and Idaho, and
the trial of which is awaited with in
tense interest.

evidence became so strong that the
prosecuting attorney is of the opinion
that the accused husband cannot es-
