BULLET FROM BRAIN.
Convict Able to Speak Coherently for
First Time In a Year.
Salem, May 13. Guy Harshman,
who was sent to the state prison last
fall for train robbery near Portland,
has always suffered from aphasia
and paralysis, as the result of a bul
let sent Into his brain by the trusty
express messenger at the time of the
attack on the train.
He was treated for a long time at
the Good Samaritan hospital In Port
land, but never recovered tho use of
his speech and was badly paralyzed.
His scalp was healed up, but Dr.
Shaw, the prison physician, decided
that there was pressure on his urain
from the wound, and yesterday tre
panned tho man's skull.
Threo pieces of bono wero removed
from tho brain where they were Im
bedded an Inch and n half deep, and
a flattened piece of lead about half
an Inch across was resting on his
gray matter.
As soon as the man recovered
from the effect of the anaesthetic
ho was able to speak coherently, for
the first time since he was shot.

Otto J. Kramer, an uttornoy of
Portland, on behalf of Ia-o Fried, of
the same place, yesterday filed a suit
at Baker City ngainst the old Gol
conda Gold Mining Company, pray
ing for an accounting and restitution
on sale of mine and tho appointment
of a receiver.
That tho present suit Is more In
tho nature of a persecution than a
prosecution is tho general opinion of
tboso who aro at all familiar with tho
celebrated property.
Tho Golconda mine was formerly
owned by tno Messrs. Kngiisn, aim
later by them transferred to an Incor
noratlon named as before. Later thlH

ninv thn nolconda Consolidated
Gold Mines Company, which recelvod
a clear title and deed to the mine
and all appurtenances.
Among the amall stockholders was
Mr Priori, who refused to accent tho
pro rata price of 20 cents per sharo
allowed to the noiaera oi siock in uio
old company. He has repeatedly
threatened litigation, but no heed
was paid by the present company,
which is in no way affected by tho
suit filed,
in sneaklnc with Mr. Howard, man
ager of the present company owning
and operating tno mine, ne siaiuu
i,a ii.io milt would In no war alter
tho plans of tho company to extens

Upon the Messrs. English, who are
