Blow the Safe.

Having cut the train themselves,
the bandits compelled Daniels to pull
the express and mail cars a short dis
tance ahead and then broke into the
cars with dynamite, later dynamiting
the safe. They gathered up two sacks
of money and with their pockets
bulging with greenbacks, they board
ed the engine when they saw the
sherif's posse approaching with a
switch engine, and one of them acting
as engineer, opened the throttle with
the posse in pursuit.

USE AUTO IN SURGERY.
Electric Machine Supplies Current to
Operate PHYSICIANS Saw.

An interesting story of how an electric
automobile acted in the capacity of a
portable storage battery comes from the
Windy city. Recently DR.. Fred Albee of
New York city was called to the Chill
drens Memorial Hospital in Chicago to
assist DIR. E. w. Ryerson, head of the in
stitution. in performing delicate opera
ton in bone surgery. In the two cases to
be treated the front of the spine had
been eaten away until the patients were
humpbacked to pitiful degree.
An electric motor controlling crcu-
lar saw was required in order to cut a
strip of bone :, inch wide % inch thick
and about inches long from the pa
tents upper leg this being transferred to
the front of the spine, thereby strength
ening and Strengthening it in u manner
necessary to heal the growth. Upon DR..
Albees arrival from New York it was
found that his instruments operated on
direct electric current only, while the
hospital lighting was of the alternating
type.
An electrical company was summoned
by telephone, but could do nothing be-
yond supplying a rectifier, which would
take some time to install. Bruce BOrland
Of the Borland-G rannis Company solved
the difficulty by sending one of these ma
chimes, equipped with excide battery,
with twenty cells added to bring up the
voltage to 100 a cord led TO the third
story hospital window from the car,
which supplied the necessary direct cur
rent for the surgical instruments.
