Started 10 Dissect Living Man.

With the commitment to LongvieW
asylum, in Cincinnati, Of DR.. William
r. Dabney, Of Marietta, Ohio, there
has come to light one Of the most re
markable chapters in medical history
Not until the crazed surgeon had
undertaken to perform vivisection on
a patient was it realized by the at
tendants in the operating room tina;
madness was directing the arm and
scalpel as it sought to uncover Vita
organs.
1t was the death on the operating
table of an aged and wealthy farmer
Jacob F. Schaad, that brought DR.
Dabney's career to a climax. SchaaL
had a numerous growth on his uppe:
Jaw. He consulted DR.. Dabney, ant
was assured that a minor operation
would remove the Disagreement.
Besides Dr. Dabney and the nurse
there were present, when Schaad hai
iapsed into unconsciousness under the
influence of an anaesthetic, DR.. Z. b.
Ballard and DR.. J. B. Penrose. As Dr..
Dabney proceeded with the knife the
two surgeons detected that there was
something wrong, and both began tc
demonstrate. Dr. Dabney became an
CRY and ordered them from the operat-
ing room.
When the two doctors had left, ac'
cording to the nurse, who had re
mained trembling beside the uncon
scious patient, Dr. Dabney began to
lissect the face and throat OF the un'
conscious Schaad. Both sides of the
ace were laid open and deep incision:
tade In the throat But the skill o.!
Inc mad surgeon was shown in the
lexterity with which ha AVOIDED In
dieting a fatal wound on his living
subject.
How far the craZed surgeon would
have proceeded cannot be told for the
Mortified nurse ran out, shrieklng that
DR.. Dabney was killing his patient.
Her cries brought Doctors Ballard and
Penrose. with several Of the hospital
attendants, to the rescue, and DR.. Dab
aeg, by this time a raging maniac,
jrandishing his scalpel over the un.
conscious living subject. was disarmed
and subdued after a desperate strug.
ale.

briefly about the situation, and though
Mr.. Lind did not reveal entirely the
purposes of his errand, he is declared
to have set at rest rumors that he was
coming to interfere directly in MeXl

was held.

Revenge and robbery were probably
the motives for the murder. Goldsmith

laborers, by whom he became dislik'
ed. He was a pens:oner, and leather
bag, in which he keut his possessions,
has not been found. A large keen-edg

The MUD BATTERY

The Anti-Saloon League after nine
teen years of collection raising, and
money absorbing, has at last got Ohio
along to a license constitution. When
any set Of half-baked preachers think
they can do old cloven-foot on a bar
gain or compromise that is where it
always ends.-Clean Commonwealth
Prohibition Party Paper:
xxx
The work the A. S. L. does is work
through which funds are expected to
be raised, with no hope of creating
any public sentiment for Prohibition.
In other words, the A. S. L. is simply
a committee of a few whose sole pur-
pose is TO raise funds, and the more
funds that are raised the more funds,
they will have to raise.-Clean Poll

1t is not an exaggeration to state
that almost every move by the Anti

it is true. These facts should be taken
notice of by our gislators-Golden
