pension on the ground that, dressed as

Topeka, Kan.-The famous tooth
swallowing case in which Alice Wing
field Of Junction City seeks to re-

Wingfeld, has been sent back by the

him to Topeka, where he was operat-

and thought they saw the teeth in
Wingheld's throat. Then they made
an incision and found no teeth. The
patient died from the operation.
In the first trial the defendants en-
tered a demurrer when the evidence
was in, holding that It was Insult

demurrer and the supreme court has

Early in the afternoon, away of to
our right, we could hear the booming
of the cannon and see the long line
Of Pickett's forces emerging from the
wooded slope of Seminary Ridge, to
start on their ever memorable but
fatal charge upon the center Of the
Union line.
We watched their lines advancing
under the storm Of shot and shell
from the Union cannon Great gaps
opened up their lines, which were
promptly filled up, and by the time
the Emmitsburg pike was reached we
lost sight of them in the great vol
