At the approach of the Civil War,
fifty years ago, the Confederacy was
in need of surgeons. To meet this de-
mand the Medical College of Virginia
held two sessions each year, and most
OF the surgeons in the Confederate
Army were graduates from this college.
In order to increase their facilities.
the college was decided to the State
for funds advanced.
The Medical College OF Virginia was
the only Southern Medical School to
remain in session during the war, and
many noted surgeons were graduated
during that period.
The college, now in its seventy-third
year, was founded in 1888 as a part of
Hampden-Sidney College, but in 1854 it
was chartered as a separate institution.
A large percentage OF the South's

ROUTED THIEVES
WITH REVOLVER
Burglars in 7O4 East Leigh Rout-
ed by Joseph Saunders, a
Boarder.

RI CHI MOND, VA, Special
The police were this morning mott
fed that somewhere in the city a
burglar was hiding with two bullets
buried in his back. The bullets-if
they are in the man-were put there
last night by Joe Saunders as the
thief was attempting to rob a board
ing house at 704 East Leigh Street.
conducted by Mrs. Lizzie DeVereux.
Mr. Saunders says he feels sure the
leaden balls are in the mans back.
He is upheld by Mrs. DevereuN who
declares that the balls must be there,
as the pistol was fired in her hall
and no trace of the bullets can be
found i'm the walls.
Returning home late last night, Mr..
Saunders met two men on Leigh
Street near his boarding house. The
men appeared 10 be acting in a sus-
picious manner and skunk into an al
ley as Mr.. Saunders passed. When
he reached his destination he looked
back and saw that the men had fol-
lowed him. He went in, however, and
fastened the door.
About half an hour later. as Mr..
Saunders was about TO retire, he heard
a strange noise in the upstairs hall,
quietly stepped out into the hall to
investigate. AS he opened the door
he heard the sound OF running feet.
He Immediately fired down the hall
in the direction from which the noise
proceeded. He fired three times The
thieves-for he is convinced that they
were none other-tumble down the
steps at top speed. At the foot of
the steps the burglars halted long
enough to fire one shot back at Mr..
Saunders. Then they fed.
This morning he made a careful in
vestigation of the hall, but was un-
able to find where the other two bull
let's had struck. He concluded. there
fore. that the first two bullets took
effect in one of the burglars.
