FATALLY SHOT.
Is THE OPINION
OF THE PHYSICIANS
Found in Room Alone With D.
Caliber Bullet Wound
in Forehead.
Mystery Surrounds Case; Bullet
Removed in Operation at
Hospital.

Hearing a shot fred in a room at
their home in Patterson last evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Sligar rushed into
the sitting room and found their Is-
year-old son John lying in the center
or the foor with a bullet wound in the
center OF his forehead. A revolver
was near the body. but whether IL had
been discharged accidentally or with
suicidal intent is not known. as there
were no witnesses TO the affair. The
wound Is of a serious nature and NAV
prove fatal.
The regrettable affair occurred at
about $3.50 o'clock. The young man
had a revolver OF 22-caliber. and IL was
thought he was cleaning IL. The bul-
let entered near the center OF the fore
head He was unconscious when

lance.
At the hospital an operation was
performed by Drs. L. F. Glass and A.
?. Ruble, shortly after 1l:I5 O'Clock.
The bullet was removed together with
the fractured part OF the skull En-
tering the Uranium near the center OF
the forehead. the bullet passed be-
tween the hemispheres OF the brain
and was lodged near the back OF the
head. After the bullet had been re-
moved the young man suffered a very
profuse hemorrhage.
Al midnight he had not regained
consciousness but seemed 10 be rest
ing easily. However. Dr. Glass stated
that owing 10 the nature OF the wounl
something might develop which would
cause his death almost instantly. IL
will require few days before his ex-
act condition will be known.
From the manner In which the
bullet enterede the forehead fl Is
thought that he may have tried 10
commit suicide although II this is the
case. no motive for the deed can be
advanced. He was in apparently good
health and was we'll known about Elm
Grove and Patterson. possessing a
wide circle OF friends who were main
fully shocked TO learn OF the sad oc-
currence.

GIRL CROSSES THE SEA
TO WE'D A KENTUCKIAN
She Had Never Seen-Man
Wanted to Wed Girl from
Old Home.

Baltimore, Md, June 23.-Ready
to marry a man twice her age,
whom she had never seen, and
whom she accepted as her future
helpmate upon the recommendation
of her friends in Germany, Miss
Elizabeth Graf, of a village near
Bremen, Germany, arrived in Balti-
more on the steamer Cassell, and
was met at the pier by George Egg
ger, of Junction City, KY, who will
marry her.
When she stepped upon the pier
the girl was recognized by her flu
ture husband by means Of a photo
graph, and the short courtship was
started before the eyes of the 500
immigrants who arrived on the
North German Lloyd liner.
Egger came to America twenty
two years ago, and has never been
to the fatherland since that time.
He went to Kentucky and has pros
pered.
About a year ago the German,
who is now az years old, began to
pine for a German wife, and the
mail began to carry letters to his
home in Germany, telling his rela-
tives of his desire. The correspond
ence resulted In the recommends
ton of the pretty little Graf girl,
who Is 81 years old, and soon letters
were exchanged by the pair. About
a month ago the agreement was
made between them and photo
graphs were exchanged. They prov
ed satisfactory and Miss Graf made
preparations for her long trip to
America.
When she arrived she was greet
ed by her husband-to-be, and they
hurried from the pier to take the
train for Junction City, where the
marriage ceremony will be perform
ed.

SECRET OF THE MAINE
STILL BURIED IN MUD
Work Going On, But No De-
veIOpmeDts of Importance
Expected Soon.

Havana, June 17.-"No further
developments Of Importance in con-
Inection with the uncovering of the
wreck OF the battleship Maine are
probable within the next ten or
twelve days." said Gen. w. H. Blk
by tonight, following the complete
decentralization of the wreck in a
launch by a board of American OFF,
GERS who are supervising the work.
A minute examination was made of
all portions of the ship now exposed
to view.
This survey convinced the board
that before further exploration is
possible 1t will be necessary to re-
move masses of mud, aggregating
hundreds of tons. on the spar deck,
and almost completely filling the
interior spaces of the Inflated YES
sci.
The water level in the cofferdam
tonight stood at ten feet below nor
NAL, which is somewhat higher than
this morning, owing to a cessation
OF pumping and consequent slight
percolation of water.
The principal result OF the inves-
Itigation of the wreck to-day was the
discovery that the deterioration of
the steel structure is very great.
The portions of the Inflated war
ship now above the water include
the whole of the after-superstruc-
ture and most of the spar deck aft
of the port turret.
Thus are revealed the 10-inch
guns pointed aft with the tampions
still In their muzzles; all OF the
Ienglne-room superstructure, and con-
fused masses of iron forward and
apparently what formed the upper
part of the bow section.
Everywhere the ironwork ex-
posed, If not shattered by the ex-
plosion, has been so corroded as to
be reduced to mere shells, making 1t
highly probable that the plan to re-
pair and float any part of the ship
must be abandoned because of COM
plete structural degeneration.
No trace of bodies has been found
IN the decks or supertructures. The
whole interior of the wreck Is so
choked with mud that It is improba-
BILE that any attempt will be made to
enter the ship soon.

shown the way to many of the
greatest triumphs of the art of cure.
1t is as certain as anything can be in
the domain of what has not actually
happened, that were 1t not for the
development and practical applica-
ton of the truths established by
Pasteur, the world to-day would be
mourning the loss of millions of
men in every country Of Europe and
America from the ravages OF the
plague; the loss of money alone
would have been incalculable, while
the paralysis of thought and of en-
'terprise involved would have halted
human progress for long years to
come. Cholera would long since
have burst the confines of Russia
and spread over Euprope, and trav-
cling on ships from Europe In the
East and from the Philippines and
continental Asia in the West, II
would have entered our land on
both coasts with such results as the
statistics of the past may suggest to
us) and taken its toll of those who
had wlthstood or survived the
plague.-tGood Housekeeping.
