This act of the court is the ending of a COfltO3t commenced In the county court of thin county soon after the result of the omclal canvass of votca as announced , Duncan brought suit to contest Lemly's ( i _ right to a seat In the city council , alleging that ho ( Duncan ) had received more votes for that position titan bad Lomly , and al. leging that the election boards In a number of the districts of the city had not credited him with a large number of votes which had bton cast for him.

In so doing , the park commison took a strip of ground belonging to the Croft estate , and lying Immediately south of Ames . avenue , thirty-three feet In width and about 400 feet In length. The street had been dedicated at this point with a wIdth of only thIrty-three feet , but tim park commission claimed to be fgnorant of this fact antI Improved - - proved the street to the fuhi width. An attempt - tempt was made on the part of the city to shift the responsibility of this action on the park commission as a separate department , Whose action would not bind the city council and mayor , but the court ruled otherwise , and it then beeaitto almost solely a question of fixing the value of the land. A number of real estate titcit were called on both sides to give their opinion of tue value of tile land ; taken. No two of them agreei as to what tue land was worth , the prices fIxed by these vltllossea ranging from $200 to $2,500 per acre. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ t3tjI'sI ) itILEI ) 'J'O JIOLI ) ills JOjI , : UrH.

Savllie and Towno extracted - tracted a bullet W111C11 had been located by medIa of a Roentgen photograph taken by I'rof , Turner of the Omaha High school , The patient was John Fcllc , a 12-year-oitl boy , and tllo operation was of such a nature that it'otlid ilave been very serious without tile aid of Prof. Turner's scientific assist- ance. About two weeks ago tim boy woe accidentally SilOt. Tile bullet entered the palm bf the left hand , Owing to the bony structure anti tough tissues of the hand it was practically impossible to locate lirn bullet With a lrobe. Moreover , the two arteries wilich cross the hand at that point rendered an incision a serious matter unless tile exact location of the bullet was known. The attention of Prof. Turner was called to the case nmli ho coilseilted to assist the pllyaiciane. ThuraJay the boy was taken to the laboratory at the Iligil school , whore the photograph was taken. The hand was exposed for an hour and a half , in order to ho sure to get a clear photograph of the bullet , The experiment was in every way successful. When completed tue pilotograph was perfect. Time bones of the iland wore clearly defined and the bullet appeared as a Plain black spot in the Iniddlo of the palm. Yesterday , by referring to tile photograph - graph , the surgans extracted the bullet without tlimculty. Tile exact location being known , they were able to make an inolsion t1 oflu aide oL the artery under which the bullet had lodged , and thus reach the object without Interfering with the artery. Since tile first operation of this sort 1105 proved so successful , Prof. Turner is likely to Ilave his hmanil full In attending to similar requests front physicians. Dr. IJacon has 'a case in whcit ! a patient is suffering from a very obstinate spraIn of the shoulder joint. It is proposed to try the X rays to see if a photograph of the ailoulder cannot be ob- tamed , showl'mg exactly to what extent , if any , tile joint is dis'lceatea. 'It this is sue- Cei4Sftll the treatment of the case will be materially sinipliiled. The pilysicinne of the city are taking a great deal of interest in those experinuents , nail Prof. Turner is being congratulated on account of the fact that hIs photograph of the hand of young Feic Is one of tile most perfect results that has been reached anywhere in the United States. - AMUSEMENTS.
