A DOLLAR IN HIS HEAD.
A1kanSan'S Skull Wound Covered
With Flattened Coin.

Ney York, April 17.-John Crick-
more, of Omaha, Ark, is one man in
the state who will never be totally
broke. He will always have at least
81 ION his person"
Unfortunately for John, however
this dollar will never be available
as a cash asset as a medium of ex-
change, for it lies not in his pocket,
but in the front part of his head
under the scalp, and covers jag
ged hole in his head more than two
inches long and an inch wide.
Crickmore is just recovering from
this dangerous wound, which he re-
ceived in fight several days ago
and which nearly ended his life.
DR.. w. A. Butts was called to at
tend the wounded man. The projec-
tai and, frontal bones of the skull
were crushed in against the brain.
The physician made an incision on the
scalp and removed the bone. He
had to have something to cover the
opening and to protect the brain.
The patient was in too critical
condition to be removed to city
hospital, and there was no time to
order a silver plate.
The doctor did the next best thing.
He made one. He took silver dol
lar and a hammer and beat it out on
a piece of iron to fit the hole. He
placed this homemade plate in place
and sewed up the scalp. In an in
terview with DR.. Butts, he says his
patient is recovering nicely and that
his mind is not impaired by the ac-
cident or the operation.

Man Shot by Florence Rural Police
man May Die.
Florence, April 19.-Jim Mcdaniel,
a big burly negro, of the Forestville
section of this county, was shot and
probably mortally wounded by Rural
Policeman A. H. Haines, at Evans
store, near Forestville, last Satur-
day.
According to eye witnesses, Police
man Haines had arrested McDaniels
brother under warrant and was car
rying him to a magistrate. McDan-
iel drove up about this time and be-
came enraged that his brother should
be in charge of the officer and at
once made at the rural policeman to
rescue his brother. Mr.. Haines had
a trace chain in his hand and McDan-
iel snatched it from him and struck
at him with the chain. The police
man lodged his head from the blow
and fired at Mcdaniel, the ball en-
tering McDaniels shoulder, ranging
around the back and striking the spi-
nal column. He fell in his tracks
and the bystanders all thought he
was dead, but he soon came to and
was brought to Florence and carried
to an infirmary, where an X-ray was
used to locate the bullet.
1t was found that nothing could be
done for him, and he was carried
back to his home. At last accounts
he was still living, but the physician
who saw him says that he will not
get over it. There were NUMBER OF
witnesses, and all of them state that
Haines acted in self-defence.
