WAS A PECULIAR CASE
Charles Leach, a Former Platts
mouth Hoy. Loses his Life.
While Practicing Tumbling lie Sailalni
Injuries and Ilia Hody llrlow the Head
I Immovable While ha U Conscioas
unci CiinTftlk Plainly.
Following is an uccount of an ac
cident from which a former "Flatt
mouth hoy, Charlea Leach, lost his
life. He was the younoct eon of John
Leach, who Ubcd to rehido hero, and
although quite young whon ho left
here about eiht yours ago ho will
be reniemoereii by a number of people.
The following account of his injury
was taken from a Seattle paper:
"There is a most peculiar case of
paralysis at the Seattlo general hos
pital. Charles Leach, of Kdgowuter,
agt d 19. is lying there without feeling
in, or ability to move, any part of the
body except, the head, tstill ho. is
conscious; he c.in hoar, see, smell and
talk. He has no allliction in the head
and sulTers no pain whatever.
"It is a case that will doubtless in
terest and puzzle many physicians, for
although this character of paralysis
is not unknown it is very rare.
Whether or not any relief can bo af
forded Leach, whether or not his lifo
can bo saved, is yet a question. Dr.
Alfred Raymond, who lias the c:w in
hand, has not yet niado a closo enough
examination to form a definite opin
ion. After ho shall have made fur
ther investigation he will call in other
physicians for consultation.
"Leach and his brother, who is a
few years older than he, are athlotes.
Moth of them are magnilicently built
younir fellows and they have devolopi d
tbomselves until they are c.;p:ible of
tumbling feats equaling the tricks of
many professional performers. So
proficient did they become that they
decided to go on the road and follow
their work as a business. For months
they have loen training in prepara
tion for their public appearance. They
had almost completed their work and
considered themselves sufficiently
adept to begin a professional cireer.
I!ul on Saturday evening their blight
prospects were blasted.
'While they were going through
their exorcises at home the younger
brothor received his injury. Ho was
bonding over with the eldor brother
on his b ick and suddenly ho fell for
ward; the foot of the one on top had
slipped, which threw him completely
over. The back of his head and neck
curled under aad in this bent position
struck the hard floor and he rolled on
his b.tck. The elder brother turned
around and looked at him, wondering
what had happened.
" T can't get up,' said the boy on
the floor, 'I can't more.'
"He was picked up and carried to a
bed and Dr. Raymond was called.
Later on he was removed to tho
Seattle general hospital.
" 'There ia probably a dislocation of
tho sixth or seventh cervical vertebra,'
said Dr. Iliymond yesterday after
noon. 'It has caused a complete loss
of motion and sense ia that part of the
body below the injury, including the
muscles of the respiratory organs.
Breathing is by action of the dia
phrHgm, which is involuntary; the
nerves supplying it ccme from above
the point of injury. The bowels and
etoraach aro working, for they, too,de
pend on the nerves coming from above
the injury. The only reason why
death was not instantaneous is be
cause the functions of the organs
necessary to sustain life are carried on
unconsciously, are fed by nerves other
than spinal. Every part of the body
depending for life upon nerves which
originate at the sp:ne below the point
of injury is wholly insensible. An op
eration is absolute'- necessary to save
hia lire.'"
The following additional informa
tion concerning the unfortunate aflair
and the young man's deith was writ
ten by his sister and sent to Mies
Nellie Hippie, a cousin, who resides
in Louisv lie:
"An X lay photograph was taken
and located the injury at the tiflh and
sixth vertebra; the photograph was
not plain enough to show the exact
nature of the injury. An operation
was performed on the afternoon cf the
13th by Dr. Raymond and four assist
ing surgeons. It was found that there
was a dislocation of the fifth cervical
vertebra, which had slipped forward,
crushing the spinal cord between the
fifth and sixth vertebra. Pieces of
the bone were removed and the cord
was found to be nearly severed.
'Charles recovered consciousness
and lived ten hours after the opera
tion, passing away at 2 a. m. Tuesday.
Tho funeral took place from Bonney
& Stewart's undertaking parlors on
Feb. 18th, at 2 p. m.
"Charles Leacb was the son of John
and Mary C. Leach, formerly of Platts
raouth, and was born in Plattsmouth
July 31, 1S79. He was a member of a
class of seventy-two which graduated
from the Seattle high school June 23,
1S9S. He leaves a mother, two sisters
aud five brothers to mourn bis to;s.
He is a nephew of Mr3. Joe Ripole of
Louisville and Mrs. Vim) Mauer of
Plattsmouth. His father was laid to
rest only a month ago. He leaves
many friends and relatives to mourn
his loss."
