CURES PARALYSISH-

ughes Fifth Lumbar Vertebra Is

Jarred to Place by

DROPSCRUTCH AND

SUPPOSEDLY HOPELESS CASE

YIELDS TO NOVEL CURE

simple left hook In a friendlymanner upon Frederick Hughes fifth

T lumbar vertebra after Mr Hughesmid suffered front partial paralysisoaqsed by a railroad accident for two

yrs did more for him than all the sci-

ence by half a dozen leadingptjyslclntis of El Paso Tex The simple

loft hook delivered by Frank Fox a railroad mat about 10 oclock last Sunday

Jarred into position the fifthlumbar vertebra and Hughes regainedcojitrol of his limbs

For a moment the blow stunned himH staggered forward dropped his caneawd crutch and just as he sank to thesidewalk in front of the Comstock saicOn on West Second South where theaffair took place he was caught by FoxRealizing Hughes delicate condition Foxfeared that ho had killed him and calledfor Before Hughes friends reachedhim he straightened up He seenud-f r a minute or two to be dazed andsemiconscious Fox held him and spoketo him several times As Hughes recov-ered ho said to Fox

I feel all right old man I knowyou didnt think before you hit me

Fox offered him an apology and askedhim If he could stand Hughesreplied that he could and took a step or

assisted by his canecrutch In the middle of the sidewalk hedropped his crutch and exclaimed

God I can walk and started downtile street unassisted He walked Intotlie cigar store In the entrance of theComstock saloon to the amazement

friendsWhy I feel like a new man he said

OBrien on the shoulderand walked out on the sidewalk again

Several of Hughes friends went afterhim and brought him back They tried toargue with him but Hughes insisted ontaking a walk about the city OBrienhanded him his cane and told him hewould better use It until ho becamestronger Hughes throw It to the floorand Insisted that he didnt need it

Breaks Cane and Walks Away-

It was handed to him again and titletime he raised his leg something that liehad been unable to do for two yearsand broke the cane across his knee Thisended the matter and Hughes walkedabout with his friends for some time be-

fore he went to his room at 16S VestThird South street Since then Hugheshas taken his dally walk and he is grad-ually becoming stronger although hefOals the effect of a tiresome walk nowThe morning after the affair took placethe muscles across his back were sorebtlt now he feels perfectly well

When the blow was struck MrHughes says it stupned m The ronTution I I am unable to dcscribe For a moment I went almostunconscious Everything went black andhazy but I remember that a severe paintfhot through my As I recoveredthe blood seemed to through mytpdy and I feel the Uugle In the

f t my It seemedthat all the strength possessed Dj R manof my physique my allonce felt and active for thetime since I was Injured in El Paso

I took a couple of steps on my crutchbut I discovered that there was life Inmy limbs I didnt have to drag them

and when I fully realized the sit j

tuition I threw down my cane and walkedoff There was never a happier manlived than I am today I have a damagesuit pending in the circuit court in El j

Paso but I would rather have the useof my Jlmbs than all the money you couldstack In a box car Some of my friends

that this will Injure my chances ofgetting judgment against the railroadcompany hut that doesnt matter asIon as I can walk

Case Pronounced HopelessThe accident happened while I was

employed In the M K T yards Feb 17

1808 I was a switchman there and workedmost of the time on the night shift Iwas on of a line of boxcars when anengine smashed Into them and knockedme off I struck my Jack across the railand when they found me I was paralyzedI was removed to the hospital and leadingdoctors of El Paso took my case Foreight months I lay In the hospital andall of my recovery was given up Igot considerably better and a year after-wards was only partially paralyzedSince then I have gone about on crutchesand have taken a number of treatmentsThey helped me considerably and lately-I have only used one crutch and some-times only a cane I wag unable to raisemy feet from the ground but managed-to get along by dragging them along withme I wear out a pair of shoes aboutevery two weeks but I think now that

suffering Is a thing of the pastSay that certainly was a lucky blow

Fox thought he had delivered a knockautfor keeps but Instead It cured me Iwould not suggest that kind of treatment-as a sure cure but it did the business inmy case

Tho doctors at the hospital were puzzled over my case but they located thetrouble in my fifth lumbar vertebraThey took half a dozen Xrny picturesof my spine and attempted to find theInjury but it was certainly a nuzzle

Well that Is the hIstory of the wholeaffair and one can see ror himself thatI am about all right Of course mylegsand knees are weak but I think that ina short time I will be able to walk asgood as I ever could

Hughes is nearly six feet In height andbuilt He weighs about 190 pounds

and is not more titan 30 years of age Hehas been In Salt Lake for several monthsliving with his brother Hughes Intends-to go back to El Paso In a short timeto look after his damage suit which Ispending irf the courts there

Physicians were consulted yesterdayabout Hughes case but they saidwould be almost impossible to state posi-tively just how the blow acted upon the

It would be necessary theyto have an Xray picture of the spine

before and after the blow was landedIt Is evident Dr T B Beatty said yes-terday that there was not much of adlslodgment of the bone or the blowwould not have acted upon the injury inthat way

THE MONEY IS NOT LOST

MYSTERY SURROUNDING THEFT-OF REMITTANCE LETTERS

INa way that is still a mystery the

Commercial Nationalcity was robbed Nov of tsaW re-

mittances amounting 5600 The rob-

bery did not become known to Ute localbaud officials until Friday afternoonThen tho Information came in the formof a telegram from Florence Colo tell-

ing of the arrestthere of William Cor-

ner having lnf his possession checks onbanks in variousparts of Uie oountry

value of which was oegeen0000 and 7000Immediately upon the Sh

first information tho official-

1egraphic Mtli i of-

ficials in Florence CoIQ They fishedto ascertain if the letters hadpostmarked in order to have the feder-al authorities take the matteriln landTho information came back that theletters had not been postmarked andthat Corner claimed that ho had pickedthem up in the street between theCommercial National bank arid thepostofficc

On the strength of this informationPostoffice Inspector Frank C Sharp re-fused to take the matter in hand

he said it could be clearly shownthat the letters had been put In thepossession of the postal authorities hewould have no Jurisdiction in the matter

County Attorney P P Christensenwhen called upon took the position that-it would be impossible for him doanything in the matter unless it couldbe shown that Corner was guilty of afelony and could be extradited Heheld that the checks and drafts beingnonnegotiable had n intrinsic valueand that unless it could be shown thatthey had been altered and the endorse-ments forged he would be helplesa inthe matter

Federal Authorities Take a HandTim first consideration of thu

WaS to get possession of tho checks Inorder that their business might not beembarrassed Captain J B Burbidgeand Detective George Chase were calledin They were placed in communica-tion with the authorities in Florenceand ascertained that Corner had beenarrested merely an vagrant The dif-ficulty in getting definite information-led to the belief that tho Florence of-ficials were holding back for a rewardNo reward was offered by bankYesterday afternoon the bank hr Flur-ence wan wired to get possea lon of theCommercial National bauk paper foundon Corner Lest night the informationcame that all paper had Ueetitaken to Denver by a United States

Some Things Hard to UnderstandThese remittances were
