K. T. MACLEAN, Clerk. Sunday morning ^the crowd of mall waiters at the postoffice had something to detract their attention; A grey horse flashed by on Madison street In a mad gallop, with a rider clinging to his neck and shouting wildly for help. The man was- thrown back of the Methodist church. Mr. Jim Hurst went after him In a hack and found him In a bad condition. He was dtzed by the fall, shaken and bruised by the horse falling on him, and in a bad shape generally, but no bones were broken. For more than an hour af ter the accident the man could nof recall any of the events preceding It and was suffering from a total loss of memorV. Hq did not even know the name of the town he was In, when he had come, or anything else about the, eventq of the morning. He finally collected his faculties, and went to the Stuart Houae, where he ■till Is, and Is slowly recovering from the effects of bis fall, X-RAY REVEALS lANYTHjNGS Bat the Balfet in Threl- keld’s Neck is Not One of Them. ; The X-ray machine was yesterday employed upon Newton Threlkeld to reveal the whereabouts of the bullet that was shot Into him-by young Drew. The bullet was not found. One thing was demonstrat ed, however, that the lead pellet was not anywhere in bis neck. Threlkeld, who Is confined In the county Jail here for the killing of the older Drew, was taken by offi cers Singletary and Walker to the office of Dr. B. A. Daniels for' the examination of his wounds. They have not been giving him trouble but he desired to get the bullets out. Two holes were* found In the right side of his neck. On the left side of his neck, exactly op posite one of the holes, was found a slight hernia. A simple operation revealed the fact that this was caused by the presence Just un der the skin of one of tbe bullets. It was extracted, and was found to be of 32 calibre, and to-be as sym metrically perfect as when put into the cartridge. It evidently . struck no obstruction In Its path through the man’s neck. Threlkeld was born lucky In one respect. The bullet did not miss his wind. pipe a hair’ breadth tfardly, and had it cut the pipe, woe would have followed. The X-ray was used to findlthe whereabouts of- the second bullet. Dr. Daniels has just bought a pow erful X-ray machine,-and the work ing of It on Mr. Threlkeld waamer- feet. The Crook’s tabe, In which the ( Roentgen ray is produced, was placed on one side of the patient’s heck; The rays showed directly through, revealing the structure of the neck, but showing no trace ot a. bullet.' A photograph was taken of the neck as ft appeared by the ray. A highlit sensitive photographic) plate Waa placed dote against the part of the body to be photographed. The plate was wrapped' In paper Impenetrable by ordinary light, but which the X-ray paid no more at tention to than If It were not there. The ray, held on the opposite side ot the man, went through with suffi cient strength to Impress the photo- grardi on the plate' In an exposure of cnily fire minutes. It Is presumed that the bullet, not showing itself in Threldkelfi’t neck, must have ranged downward -Into' bis cheat Capt W. M. Hammond, who Is defepdlng him, waa present during a part of-the operation. COTTON TIPS ARE TABOOS Director Says No Use For ' Government to Give Reports.
