Easier for Him Than Child

I'm the case of a child it is much
more difficult to learn to speak than
in the case of Ling. The patient knows
the meaning of all words and can
write and spell them. I don't mean
he can spell aloud; he must write. If
point to a table he knows it is a
table. but cannot articulate the word
table.
cit will be necessary to teach him
each word. He must be shown a cat
or a picture of a cat, and then be
made to pronounce the word until he
remembers. He will, Of course. not
have the difficulty of babbling like a
child, although it is possible that
such a thing may come to our notice
later, but it is unlikely.
in paralysis sometimes the speech
center of the brain is destroyed and
the victim must learn to speak anew.
In Ling it is like condition, but only
one small part of the brain is dead"
When Ling was operated on two
and one half inches of bone was cut
away. Small holes We're bored into
the skull over the left ear, where the
speech center is located. The scalp
was first cut on three sides, leaving
one side without injury, that it might

bone was cut in like manner and

After the brain was prCbed and the
excess fluid taken out the skull was
pushed down over the opening and
the scalp adjusted as it was at first.
Ling, since he has been at the hos
pital, has been unable to explain how
he suffered an injury to his head, be.
cause of his inability to articulate the
words he wants to speak. He say
though, he suffered an injury many
years ago.

completed and the Tieton unit SO pei
cent completed. Throughout the
month the average of men and horses
employed on the storage unit was 375
men and 90 horses. The excavation
of the corewall trench at Kachess
was completed. The trench has a to-
tai length of $50 feet with an average
depth of so feet and a maximum depth
of 80 feet below the original surface
of the ground. The construction of
the corewall is in progress, The tim
Der cutting plant at Lake Keechelus

Work on Sunnysde
On the Sunnyside unit work on the
enlargement Oh the main canal was
completed early in the month and the
Bucyrus dredge and the Underwood
eXcavator We're dismantled. Team
camps are to be established on the
main canal throughout the winter
however, to complete that portion of
the enlargement which remained un-
completed last winter. The topo-
graphical survey has been continued.
Unsatisfactory labor conditions on
the Teton unit were experienced
throughout the month, workmen being
scarce and inefficient. The construc-
ton of the Wide Hollow distribution
system is about completed, canal lin
ing, pudding, construction or several
small structures and the laying OF
about 1900 feet of 2S-inch wood stave
pipe being the remaining work. Al

the month and a considerable amount
of land was being cleared and lev

How many fingers am / holding

hospital. Ling pondered and tried to
utter the answer, He finally ans
wered chair" He was told two"
and Immediately repeated two" He
explained after much difficulty that
ii was two" he wasted to say but
could not recall the word. He ex-
planned that he said CHAIR because
he thought for the time the CHAR"
was the word used to indicate two"
DIR. A Fl. Sewing resident physi-
clan at the hospital, said lie was posi-
tive that in time Ling would be able
to speak rs lie did in the past, al
though it might mean considerable
time and much hard study.
"In case that the speech center,
which is located on the left side, has
been so injured that it will not re-
spOnd to the work originally intended
for it, nature will be driven by me-
cessty to create a new speech center
for Ling. BY that I mean that Ling,
when he leaves the hospital will have
his speech center, perhaps on the
right side or in some other portion of
the brain.

HIS SPEECH IS
RESTORED TO HIM
AS Result of Remarkable Surgi-
cal Operation Lost Voice
Comes Back to Robert Ling

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 24.--Robert Ling,
SO years old, whose speech was re-
stored by a remarkable operation at
the city hospital, again is learning
how to speak, much in the manner in
which a child is taught to name the
articles he sees about him. The vic
tim of an accident which injured his
brain and caused partial paralysis of
the speech center, Ling was received
at the hospital two weeks ago. Ten
days ago the physicians at the hos
ptal cut open his skull and probed
about through his brain in an effort
to find a tumor They found an eX
cess of cerebro spinal fluid. the re-
moval Of which enabled Ling to re-
gain control Of his vocal muscles
When his wife and two small child
rem visited him Monday at the hospital
after much effort he managed to ut
ter "Hello, Dorsey" in addressing his
young son. The sound of his voice
after being virtually dumb for nearly
five weeks caused his wife to weep
with Joy She visits him each day,
and each visit sees her husband in an
improved condition.
Physicians at the hospital, although
content that the operation has done
much to help Ling. are not altogether
jubilant over it. They are fearful that
the prime object of the operation, to
restore his speech as he originally had
it. is a failure; but they hold that he
will be able to speak as he did in the
past as soon as he can master the
English language, as he had to do
when a child
Ling is perhaps the most interesting
patient received at the hospital in
years. Other patients in his division
are as much interested in his case as
are the doctors who are daily attend
ing him. They gather about his cot
and ask him questions He can write
the answers, but he cannot speak the
words

Stabbing Affray.

Last Monday morning, about seven o'clock, a stabbing affray occurred at the bridge camp at Coyote Hill be tween T. N. Torres, a Mexican, and D. E. James, a white cook at the camp, in which James was severely cut in the upper part of the abdomen.
 From the account given of the affair by the injured man it would appear that Sunday night Torres, who had been drinking, came into the cook tent, in which James was sleeping, and in- sisted on building a fire in the range and making himself some coffee. James order d h ID awfy and the man went out. after abusing and threaten ing James. h the morning Torres was called to the tent of the foreman and discharged. While the foreman was making out the mans time James came to the door and requested Torres to come out, as he wanted to talk to him. The foreman told Torres not to go. but that he would soon have his time made out and then to leave the camp. After James had called Torres out three times Torres rose from his seat and went out, where James i'm mediately assaulted him, striking him three times in the face. Torres pull ed his pocket knife and when James agaln sprang forward to strike he drove the knife into him at a point to the left of the median line, near the eight rib, the knife passing through the peritoneum and severing the heavy cartilage and making an opening into the abdomen three inches wide and passing out at the right side, cutting deep into the cartilage. The point of the knife had also cut into the liver, as found by the surgeons when an ex- animation of the man was made. The injured man immediately went to where the other men were at work and Torres went to the foreman's tent got his time and left the camp. An uncle of the injured man and others at the camp bound up the wound and Dr. Butcher was sent for. The doctor went out in an automobile and took the wounded man to the county hospital. where the wound was dressed, all the physicians of Kingman being present.
 Torres was arrested at the rock quarry below town and is now in the county jail awaiting the result of the mans injuries.
 James is getting along nicely and it is thought that he will recover.
