The medical fraternity of "the country is watch ing with absorbing interest the re markable case of Aa Paulieon, who has a large portion of bis brains missing, one eye gouged out and the entire frontal bone fractured and etill iryes. The pitient is ra tional and is pronounced to be on the road to recovery. The surgeon a are able to watcb the pulsations of the brain through the orifice of the sightless eyesocktt. - Marvelous to relate the patient is not aware that one eye it? destroyed and does not ku that a load of buckshot tore tb rough the brai a. He experiences no pain and wonders wliu the Bur geon will permit him to use bia eye. The wound ws made I v a com panion who was hunting and whoJ polled the trigger of bis gun by mis take. The surgtons intend to make a new forehead tnd manufacture a new frontal. They will take a fresh ly am putated human bone, grind it up, decalsify and mold a new bone and then cover the tktn with a flap. In lime the calcium salts of the body will permeate this and make a real b.ue. Butler, Pa., D.c. 3.- The epi demic of typhoid fever which broke out on September 15 last iocreases.

Career of the San Who Obtained Money From Several Country Banks How He Escaped ' , a Number of Times. HiJdboro, Or., Die. 5 Jam's H. Burke, whose true name is Ham lin, and who lor 6oma time resided in the vicinity of 4 Troutdale, was this morning sentenced to six years in the penitentiary, upon pleading guilty to a charge of forgery. Lst August, Burke went into the Hol land settlement, north of Forest Grove, and represented himself as an. agent of Baker & Hamilton, a San Franci?cj firm. He said that he was selling farm implements and tools, and went to various fir mer?, getting them to write their names and addresses ' on the pre tenee of having catalogues sent them. " 'J-.-. ' : ; He approached Walter Bernards, a wealthy rancher, and secured his name and address, asking B rnards to write it down himself. This was done, and a day or so later Burke appeared at the Forest Grove Bank and enquired if a note with Mr. Bernard's name as security was good. The bank replied in tbe af firmative, and, as there were two brothers by the name of Burke re siding near tbe Bernards; farm, supposed tbat it was a neighborly loan. , 1 , , Ciehier Kane happened' to drive by the Bernards home that evening and found that no . one had - ap proached him to act. as surety. This caused alarm and Mr. Bernards wen. to town the next morning to intercept Burke when be was to ap ply for the money. He remained in seclusion, and, as Burke passed, identified him as the man to whom he had given the name and addreBs. Burke went to the bank to cash the note, passed the paper into the win dow, and was. immediately covered with revolvers by E. W. Haines, the backer, and Cashier Kane. He was brought here and Placed in jail. .:, ; u t " ' ' A few weeks later he and J. T. McNamara broke jail, "and were at large for about three wetks. Burke was located in Skamania county, Washington, was arrested there by Sheriff Totten." broke away from that official while on the way to Stevenson, wis later captured by a balfbreed, and made his escape the .second time ,by . ovfirpoweting' Jtiis custodian, and went down into Clark county, where he was cap tured, at a brother's bouse, late one evening, by Sheriff Biesecker, who shot the fugitive in the groin and arm while attempting to break a way,' .. . Before operating in Washington county Burke passed forged, paper a.t. Med ford and at Jeffdrson. . He also planned a second , j.a,il .break, promising to give Tromley $loo if he would make keys to open the corridor doors. The keys were com pleted but were discovered by the sheriff, and Tromley will serve two and one-half years for the conspir acy. Sheriff Sewell will go to Sa lem Monday with commitments for Burke, Tromley and . McNamara, in for two years for larceny. . Portland,' Dec. 5. It took the ju ry trying Asa B. Thompson, ap pended receiver of tbe La Grande land office, just 38 minutes to bring q verdict of acquittal in Judge Bel linger's court yesterday afternoon. The charge for which Thompson had been indicted by the Federal Grand jury, and tried in the Unit ed states district court, was for al leged solicitations of bribes. Cbas. Cunniogham. and Inspector G reen, of the interior department, were tbe ? . l . . mi principal witnesses against, inomp son, and they and Dallas O'Harra, Glen Sailing . and Asa Ray burn, came in for a terrificorensic denun ciation from T. G. Hailey, assistant attorney for the defense. ( The trial of Thompson has at tracted wide-spread interest through out Eastern Oregon, where the prin cipals are all well known. The spe cific charge against him was that he was alleged to have attempted to Solicit bribes amounting to $500. The evidence against Thompson was furnished by Charles Cunning bam, "the Oregon sbeep king," and Inspec'or Greene. From the begin ning the evidence of any wrong do- ihg an the part of the land .receiver .aafso flimsy; that jthe day's pre- cee,ding8 of the court were ..little short of a farce., United States Dis trict attorney John A- Hall .did the? bad pa hand, ut the .characterfl rnany.p! . the witne-ses ; iWare , most viciously assailed by the attornev ior the defense. Witness after wit ness swore away .the character .of Cunningham and O'Hara. Sailing and Rayburn practically admitted t.b.at' they - had comDoitted 'perjury, and that they had sworn to falsa land affidavits. It was tbe testimo ny sworn to by O'Hara. Saiiine arid Ttayburn that "moved Jgdge, Bel linger, m his chargp , tn the jury, to refer to them as tn'e ' three thame less cbaracters". who lad .sworn falsely in a case ii. which Cunning ham was the beneficiary. . .Judge Bsllinger, in his instruc tion? to the jury, reviewed the case carefully. It was very favorable to Thompson aod he intimated that from the evidence there was noth ing to warrant the j ury fipdirig the defendant guilty. -The jury retired at 4:15 and in 38 minutes . . ; rendered a verdict not guilty on alt three of the counts. Washington. Djc 5. Notwith standing tne fact that a FederaL Court .jury acquitted Asa B. Thompson, suspended receiver of" the L Grande Jand office,, of tbe charge of accepting a brib9. Secre tary Hitchcock declares Thompson, cannot be reinstated. The secreta ry informed Senator Fulton that the mere fact of Thompson hajrjng been indicted indicated that "some thing was wrong," dnd the indict ment, regardless of whether Thomp son was adjedged innocent, f had impaired bis usefulness as a govern ment official. He then and- tbee told the senator the delegation must recommend some new man for ap pointment to this receivership. When tha Oregon senators learn ed, this morrjiog of Thompson's ac- qaittal, tbey forwarded to Secreta ry Hitchcock telegrams announc ing this fact. ., ... After the Secretary, h,ad received fbfl ffirpcrninf nrkfo tfiA rtfunnniaw correspondent inquired at his offica what, if anv. chansi it Uarl miHa as to the secretary's determination to dismiss Thompson, and. wa? told the .secretary stood firm, and, more over, that in calling on tbe Qrcgoa senators to name a ney? receiver, the secretary acted by specific direc-" tlon frprjo the president. , . . ,-,', Senator Fulton said today., when. told of the situation, that no one bad been recommended to succeed Thompson, and nothing is likely to be done - until Secretary Hitch cock's formal acknowledgment of the letter mentioned is at hand. Both senators are indignant to think, that Thompson; in view of hia acquittal, is not to be reinstat ed, but they have not determined whether to engage in a protracted controversy with the secretary over this matter.
