Ralph Whlttaker, aged 16 years, who accidentally shot himself In tbe bead with a 22-calibre revolver Sunday fore noon, July 21, was brought home from the Mercy hospital, Pittsburg, last Thursday still In a helpless condition, his right side being paraltzed. The boy was taken to the Adrian hospital in Punxsutawney the day he shot him self and was there over three weeks. The doctors at that hospital failed to locate the bullet. August 10 Ralph was taken to tbe Mercy hospital and there the doctors located tbe ball in the back part of tbe skull on a level with the base, or lower part of the cerebellum. Tbe bullet struck the end of Ralph's nose, penetrated the skull cavity, passed througb the motor center and lodged In the back part of skull. In its passage through the head the ball destroyed the motor fibers, which supply the right half of body, and caused the paralysis. Nature will probably partially over come his present helplessness as the paralysis Is now slowly subsiding. In Its present location the bullet does no harm and to remove It would neces sarily endanger the boy's life, and hence the doctors at Mercy hospital thought It best not to operate on the boy.
