careful study had been made of the x-
ray picture which was taken yester-
day, showing the location of the bullet
in his brain» The physicians came to
the conclusion that such an operation
would be too dangerous in view of the
position of the bullet. It was shown
in the picture as being in the left hem
lspherei of the brain, almost in the
center. To get at it would necessitate
too much destruction of the brain tis-
sue and. therefdre, the doctors thought
it inadvisable .to operate. 3
A remarkable story is found in the
circumstanbes surrounding the injury.
Tony was accidentally shot twenty .
years ago by his uncle. The latter had
come into the room where his nephew
was playing with his sister with a new
revolver He showed it to the children
and it was accidentally discharged.
The- bullot first struck the little girl,
inflicting a scalp wound. It glanced ,

The boy survived the wound, which -
. in itself is unexplained in medical an R
cles. No ill effects showed up for
some time, but for the past few years
‘Tony has been subject to tits. These,
the doctors say, are occasioned by the‘
presence or the bullet in his brain.

Bill’s EAll RESAEIS
The twelve years old son of John
O'Sulllvan, proprietor of Dorlon Point
house, is having his share of ill luck.
Yesterday afternoon at about four
o'clock he was playing on the shore
front in East Nor-walk with some other
children. in running the young boy
tripped him and caused him to take a
bad fall, resulting in the breaking or
his left arm between the elbow and
shoulder Dr. W. J. Tracey was called
and he set the bone.
The boy broke the same arm six
weeks ago and the splints were taken
off about a weeleogo. The break yes-
terday was a little above the other
one and the doctor states it is a more
severe one.

The first district residents met
last night in the Town Assembly Hall
and adapted the report which the
committee on organisation tor a Real
Estate Owners’ association submit-
ted. Following its adoption the elec-
tion of officers took place. They are:
President—John ‘T. Hayes.
First ViceF.esident——Frederick A.

Second Vice‘vPresident—Cassius M.

Third Vice-President-John Hanlon.
Fourth ViceiPresident~Samuel L.

Financial Secretary-John Devine.
Recording Secretary-Harold '1‘.
Murray.
Treasurer—Joseph Bray.
Reasonswere given why a power-
ful central organization of owners is
necessary. Reel estate pays 95 per
cent. of all moneys raised by taxa-
tion for the running of the city gov-
ernment. The budget has increased
rapidly in the last few years. The
city debt is M beyond what it should
be. The constauMhrearenod and ac-
tual enactment. of laws and ordin-
ances and extravagance make the
ownership of real estate undesirable
and causes depression in the real es-
tate market. .

Thursday evening when delegates
will be elected to the central body,

Associations.
