The Bullet Still Remains in
Ralph Whittaker's Skull.
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.

The Sykesvllle Post IXspateh gives

team was aropped out of the league:
"The DuBois team was dropped from
the league for the reason that DuBois
wants all the games to be played at

scheduled when any of their players
are absent, while the other teams fill
in with bench players. DuBois charges
admittance to the games, and pays none
of team's expenses aod they kick on

HORSE KILLED BY TRAIN.
One Thousand Pounds of Dynamite on
Wagon which waa Almost
Struck by Train.
Robert M. Fugate, a Winslow town
ship farmer, had a (200.00 horse killed
by a train at DuBois last Thursday.
From the Evening Expreng we clip the
following account of tbe accident, which
might have been more serious:
Mr. Fugate was in DuBois this morn
ing and was driving to bis home about
six miles south of town with a load of
dynamite. At the Brady street cross
ing Mr. Fugate thought that tbe
watchman motioned for him to come on.
He started and when directly on the
track, he saw the Clearfield train bear
ing down upon him. According to wit
nesses he endeavored to back up the
team and succeeded in getting the
wagon off the track. The horse near
est to the engine, however, was struck
and instantly killed. Mr. Fugate
umped and escaped injury. Tbe other
horse also got out of the mlxup without
any serious bruises. Tbe wagon tongue
was broken.
Tbe wagon had on It 1,000 pounds of
dynamite and It was only by the merest
margin that the wagon was kept off tbe
track. That amount of dynamite would
have resulted In one of the most ter
rifio explosions recorded In this com
munity for many days,
