he had planned for professional studies

care of a specialist for several days.
The doctor was on a Monon train

occupied an upper berth in one of the

head severely. and causing other minor
injuries.
DR.. Mitchell returned to Chicago Fri
day and remainder there in the care of
a specialist until this morning He
thought for a day or two that he would
be compelled to give up his European
trip, but now expects to be in New

bother now is the fear that his injury

him to take the special course in his
profession in Europe, for which he has
already arranged. His brother, OF
Marietta. O., will accompany him on
the trip.
