her as the result of an unusual
operation performed by DIR. Web

distinctly.
The man from whose eye the
transparent cornea was taken lost
his sight from an accident to the
optic nerve. The cornea was un-
affected. DIR. Fox removed the
useless cornea from the woman's
eye and put the living one in its
place. 1t was the first time on
record that the operation has been
successfully performed. -

The police department has de-
cided to keep tab on the juvenile
offenders of the city, an extraor-
binary number of whom have been
arrested during the past few
months. 1t has become a common
occurrence for young fellows of Is
years or less to be jailed on
charges of drunkenness, and dis
orderly conduct, while many girls
of tender age have been giving the
police trouble. To date no list of
these offenders has been kept, but
now all juveniles arrested will be
listed in private book in the
chiefs office, and as soon as an
offender is brought to the station
more than two or three times, he
or she will be turned over to the
Juvenile court.

BIG BATTLE

Ell PASO, Tex, Dec. 9.-Citizens
OF Parral, fleeing to escape being
caught between federal and insur-
gent forces, which are gathering
in that vicinity, arrived in Ell Paso
today and reported that sharp
fighting with heavy losses to both
sides has been going on at Parral
since yesterday.
A large body of insurgents
marching toward Chihuahua, will
meet similar force of federal
troops marching to meet them Sun
day, it is believed, and decisive
battle is expected, according to the
reports of the refugees.
Those fleeing from Parral say
that the federal forces are prepar-
ing to attack Temosachio, MADEIRA,
and Guerrero, which towns the reb-
els now control.

Used to take it up, and it is believed

Under the amendment to the
city charter adopted in May, 1909,
s per cent of the voters of the city,
signing a protesting petition, can
tie up the sewer assessment ordi-
nance. Between 5000 and 1000
workingmen's homes are taxed for
the sewer, which benefits chiefly
the high priced property between

than Grahame- White, and would have
won the cup if he had not met with a
disastrous accident in his last lap when
he had the race seemmeingly well in
hand.
LeBlanc's first lap was a new world
record in itself for five kilometers, 2
minutes and 1853 seconds, but he sub
sequently exceeded it with lap done
in 2 minutes 44.32 seconds.
LeBlance was running with the
wind under full power at an estimated
speed of 80 miles an hour, when the
feed pipe from his gasoline tank to his
motor loosened and he suddenly found
himself with nothing but momentum
to carry him.
1t is popularity of racing aero
planes that they are trimmed down so
fine they cannot execute proper vol
plane, or glide, if the gasoline shuts off.
They must come to earth under power,
and even then they bump severely or
landing. LeBlance was helpless and
panic-stricken. He tried to lift his
planes so that the last few drops of
gasoline might filter down into the en-
CINE and lend him strength to make 6
landing.
His steerage way was gone. and
when puff of wind caught him he
drifted sideways, still driving at ire
mendous speed, and crashed head fore
most into a telegraph pole. The pole
was IA inches thick, but he broke it in
three pieces. The first fragment was
sliced clean off IL feet up and snappes
again at the bottom of the stump
