steamer reached St. Louis, twenty
four hours later. He was then taken
to the City Hospital, and examined by
Assistant Superintendent Kassieur.
A cut altotit two inches long was
found between the fifth and sixth
ribs. The heart lieats were irregular,
and, at times, hardly discernable. The
external wound was enlarged, reveal
ing a hemorrhage and a wound in the
covering of the heart slightly more
than an inch long.
Doctor Neitert was then called and
the operation performed. Little
anesthetic was used, as it was feared
that the negro, in his state of low
vitality, could not stand it. An in
cision was made along the upper
border of the fourth rib two and one
half inches outward and downward
from the sternum, then three, inches
downward, then about three inches
inward and back to the sternum at its
junction withthe sixth rib. The fourth

in the heart wall about one and one
half cent imeters long was seen. Doc
tor Nletert was im ible to tell whether
the kniiV had penetrated intot e left

The operator attempted at. first, to

view of the wound, which was in the
left and posterior aspect of the heart.

stitches.
The pericardium wa.s sewed up, with
the except ion of a small drain, left to
juard against infection. A drain into
the left pleuralcavity, which had been
penetrated, was also allowed to
remain. Infection did develop iu the
lung, but has since been overcome.
Both Doctor Nletert and I)octor I'as-

Lost A Train.
The continued cold weather an!

railroad employes, and especially to
trainmen. No trains pretnd to run
on schedule time, and very few of
them arc even posted.
The Lexington branch passenger
train was lost somewhere between,
Sedilia and Kansas City last night,
and at 2 o'clock this morning the
station men here could not give any
information concerning it. It waj
said up In the dispatcher's offlcrc that
the engine of a freight train had
"died," and that the scarcity of
motive power made it Impossible t0
send another engine out after it to.

Sedalians who were expecting
friends on the branch train waited at
the depot long after midnight, hoping .
that every minute would bring either
the train or word of It, but no assur-.'

It was simply marked up "late"
and the weary waiters knew that it '
was very late.
