$50 at the county hospital.
The result Of the autopsy held yes

the left side of the head just above
and forward of the ear and pene-
trated the brain. striking the right
side of the skull and passing back
ward along tie inside of the head TO
the base of the skull where it turn
ed AMI entered the CT rebellum, or
motive par. OF the brain. causing the
paralysis of the right side. The for
ward part of the brain. or cerebrum.
vas partly shattered by the bullet.
which accounted for the lack OF vol
untary and conscious mental process
by the sufferer during his long fight
for life.
Miss Jennie Nevinger. matron of
the county hospital. declared that she
had never observed such a wealth
OF physical vitality as displayed by
ihs .nor,ally wounded man III his
struggle TO live and that she had not
given up hopes for his recovery un-
I'll n short time before the end came.
Last week the patient had been able
TO take nonrishment and would as
sist himself with his left hand and
appeared to endeayor to show his APP
probation for the attention given
him by signs and hand pressure, but
could not make an audible sound. A
gradual Improvement WAS noted In
his condition during the two weeks
the injured man remained in the
hospital. The change for the worse
was noted Thursday night when Mr..
Requa sank into an unconseiousness
from which he never reused, dying

COUNTY HOSPITAL NURSES
NOW HAVE "BABY" TO PET

Yesterday morning the matron and
nurses of the county hospital receiy-
ed temporary shock when the front
door Of the hospital was opened and
there was found laying on the steps
a carefully rolled b.anket of very
suspicious size.
The bundle was picked up by one
of the tender-hearted nurses aad car
ricd inside where the end of the
blanket was carefully lifted and dis
closed the head of an infant.
The only signs of Identification on
the founding was a piece of paper
pinned to the clothing with the state.
mont that the infant was a gift to
the hospital and was the best selec-
tion the donator cold make.
Needless to say the little one is
receiving every attention from the
nurses at the hospital who have been
reported to have made the remark
that they would welcome just such a
little visitor.
1t appears that for some time there
has been no baby at the hospital. a
rather unusual situation, and the
busy nurses. 1t is stated, have Ia
mented the fact that the daily tedium
OF caring for the aged. the infirm and
the suffering was not cheered by in
fant prattle.
Howeyer-the carefully swathed
infant in the bundle does not come
entirely up to specifications and ex-
pectations. inasmuch as 1t is a
model of a baby and
remains as mum as to its identifica-
lion as does the netpetrator OF the
cr-o-o-ei Joke.

Her young and loving spirit

From pain and grief away,

To call away the one we loved
But she is living still.

In glory all untold.

Beyond the gates of gold.
