Heroic Treatment for Pleurisy—Five Hits C*!t On»— A Wonderful Operation. From the Fan Francisco Examiner. Edgar Jackson is the phenomenon of the city and county hospital. Seven months ago he entered the insti tution a fair specimen of the living skele ton so often depicted in front ot a dime museum. To-day he is robust and hearty, with every prospect of becoming a rival in corpulency of Police Captain Kcntzel. Y et he has five ribs less to-day than when lie entered the hospital, while his friends and visitors may lie allowed the privilege of taking a peep at his heart and view that organ ol his anatomy in active operation. Bat few people can sit down to the din ner table three times per day and partake of a hearty meal with a gash in their left side of about five inches in length and two inches in width. Yet Jackson relishes-his food, enjoys good health, is getting stout and hearty and appears to be one of the healthiest men in the community—until he removes his clothes and display’s the in cision in his body. An Examiner reporter learned yesterday of the operation that had been performed on him some time ago, and visited the pa tient with a view to ascertain Uic particu lars of his complaint and the cure.

Saturday, shortly alter breakfast, while Mr. J. J.

Mr. Clay looked around for some thing to throw at the ilnj, but saw nothing hut a com cob. This was thrown, hut the dog minded it not, and made a lunge at Mr. Clay’s throat. Mr. Clay drew back and the dog missed its aim. and as it lumped upon him was given a blow on the head by Mr. Clay. The dog then kept on its course down town. The next lieanl of it was at the engine house of No. 1, on Third street. It had •topped for a moment to rest, probably, near a tree, and as Mr. Morey Hillard |«*sed hy it made a lunge for liis throat in the same maimer as it had tried to grusp Mr. t'l.iy'i.

As it passed the old compress house it bit a little negro boy in the hand, and then ran intuFourtli itrect. in passing Pete Harmon's bar, i’cte'iw dog was on the sidewalk, and thiirwas bitten in the Up by the tlceing canine.

When the store of Morrison- Bros, was reached the dog fastened its tce'Ji into the calf of Mr. Dicft .Morrison’s leg. Mr. M«:*- riaon ran into the store, and, securing his pistol, shot twice nt the animal. By this time Officers Jenkins and Mathena had ar rived, and they succeeded in killing it. It had bitten several dogs on the way, and just before it tried to bite Mr. Cftly had tried to bite a negro girt, but onJv suc ceeded in tearing her dress. On returning to their iieals, tho officers found that l’cte Harmon’s dog had gone mad from the bite of tho first dog, and was snapping and biting at everybody within reach.
