Who Killed John Sheedy?
IXJUKIES Of TUB BBAJK, BI DB. A. P.
BL'KRCS..
The following cases may be interest
ing to the people of Lincoln at the pres
ent time. It is surprising to what an
extent the anterior lobe of the brain
may be mutilated without danger to
life, while trifling injuries to other parts
ot the head may prore fatal in a few
days.
The anterior lobe is the seat of intel
lect and not essential in carrying on the
functions of animal life, and no large
blood vessels in this part may account
for it.
Case first came under my observation
40 years ago in Pennsylvania. Mr. Beers
a carpenter, was hewing timber in the
woods, and . a limb fell from above,
ploughing a furrow through the left
lobe of the forehead, nearly an inch
deep and tearing out the left eye. The
super orbitary plate and a portion ef
the frontal bone was carried away and
about one ounce of the brain lost. He
made a good recovery in a few weeks
and appeared perfectly well. Two
years afterwards, he told me his speak
ing faculty was much impaired and his
memory poor. . . , f
Second case : About twelve yeai s ago,
Dr Gish a dentist of Janesville, stood
looking at his vulcanizer, when the top
blew off: and struck his bead over the
left eye, carrying away portion of his
skull as large as half a hen's egg, which
with the top " of the vulcanizer struck
the ceiling over his head and fell to the
floor. . ' . ' . ' ' '
Slivers of bone penetrated the dura
mater which were extracted. The blow
knocked him down, but he was soon on
his feet again bleeding copiously land
said it did not hurt him much. He re
covered without any pullbacks. In
three weeks after was in his office at
tending to business as usual. His eye
was not injured, and he told me a year
after the accident, he was not conscious
of any mental injury and his memory as
good as ever. He is now following his
proieaslOU m lue sauio uuiuo iuu is up'
wards of sixtv sears of aire.
Third case: A still more remarkable
case was that of Burr ttobins the fa
mous showman, which happened in the
- same city about ten years ago.
Mr. Robins was runinir a small steam
boat with uprisrht boiler, going down
Rock River when it was very high and
the current swift, and the night dark.
While going under the bridge his head
was caught between the brace of the
bridge aud the top of the boiler. - The
corner of the brace striking just above
the left eve. cutting the frontal bone en
tirely in to across over the top of the
nose. The frontal bone was broken
loose from both parietal bones at the
suiters, so that the front part of the
skull or frontal bone could be lifted up
and closed like a trunk lid. . The hem
orage was profuse but he never lost
conciousness lor a moment.
This wound was dressed by Dr.
Henrv Palmer. Several pieces ot bone
were removed from over -the left eye
and a small Dortion of brain removed
and I he wound closed, except a small
ooemug for drainage tube. About a
week after he got very restless and
showed sicrns of delirium coming on.
The wound was then opened again; the
frontal bone lifted up and the pus
washed out ana tne wouna ciosea
From that time on he made a good re
r.overv and traveled with his show. .
He is still living and is upwards of 50
years of age. 1 I was well acquainted
with him and saw him frequently, be
fore and after the accident. A large
hollow hole was left over the left eye
and the eve somewhat impaired. The
only difference I could observe after
the accident was ne appeared more ner
vous and iritable. which he seemed to
be getting over when I saw him last. A
fifth case of the crow bar has frequently
been referred to in the newspapers
. from time to time.
On the 13th of September, 1848, in the
state of Vermont an Irishman 25 years
of age, in good health, was .blasting
rocs, xne cnarge iaiiea 10 go on irom
the fuse and he struck it witn a crow
bar and swore he would make it go off,
and it did. carrvinar the bar up through
the front part of his head and falling
several rods away on tne ground oe
smeared with blood and brains. The
bar was three feet and six inches long,
one inch and a fourth square at the
lower end, arid the upper end round
and tapered to a point like a spindle.
The small end was one-fourth of an
inch in diameter and smooth, weighed
thirteen and a quarter pounds, lne
bar entered the skull a little back and
outside of the wisdom tooth, knocking
out the tooth, and came out at the top
of the frontal bene, a little to the left of
the center, leaving an opening in the
skull two and a half inches in diameter
and an opening nearly as large at its
entrance, He was unconscious for a
few moments, but got into a cart with
a little assistance and was hauled a mile
to his boarding house, where Dr. Har
low dressed his wounds. He' was very
weak from loss of blood, but air right
mentally. Dr. Harlew ran his finger
down through the brain to remove all
pieces of loose bone. The wound con
tinued to discharge blood, brains and
pus for some time. On the eighth day
after the accident he became delirious
and then comatose, with a bulging at
the wound on top of the head which
was opened, and discharged eight
ounces of pus, after which he rallied
and got well without further incident.
Three months afterward he was up and
around as usual. There was a deep
hole in his head left just back of where
the bar came out, at the seat of venera
tion, and Dr. Harlow remarks that he
was very profane after the accident but
never so before The organ of venera
tion is supposed to have run out The
next June he commenced to travel with
his crow-bar and exhibited himself and
bar to the medical profession for over
two years. In 1851 he went to South
America and drove a six-horse stage
coach for seven years. In 1800 he went
to San Francisco and worked on a
farm. In February, 1861, he had a fit
and then three more later on without
warning. On the 20th of May he was
seized with convulsions and died the
next day. living twelve and a half
vears after the accident.
It will be observed that all these
cases were on the left side of the head
the same side of John" Sheedy's flesh
wouDd. Breaking the zygomatic pro
cess did not disturb Sheedy's brain.
The diagnofte of the council of doc
tors on Monday, after the accident,
was like unto the diagnosis of the track
of the bullet that killed President Gar
field in Washington.
Who killed John Sheedy? Did he
not take the fatal dose about 9 o'clock
Sunday night?
TO THE LAW MAKERS OP NEB.
On vour arrival in Lincoln, and dur
ing your stay in the city, it will doubt
less occur to your mind, where is the
best place to buy some clothing or fur
nishing goods. We would suggest go to
theEwing Clothing Co., because they
are the only first class American house
in the city. They carry the finest and
best brands of goods. They are thor
oughly reliable in every sense of the
word. They are strictly one price, thus
have they established the confidence of
the trading public and they enjoy the
largest and finest trade in the city.

Aaaaalag Story f E4wla Bo4k
A few days ago one of onr newspa.
pers contained an account of how two
roung men went to eighteen theaters
n one evening and saw something of
the play at each one. If these young
. 4. j 1 f -t 1 r
men oau uvea in loo newspaper uuih
neu they would scarcely have thought
of their performance as a feat to boast
of, for the same thing is. done every
evening by the representative of each
of oar large newspapers, and there
porter who makes the ' round of the
tnatrt not only loons m-at tne house,
but often interviews the manager and
sometime! one or two of the players.
The critics, both musical and dra
matio, have nothing to do with the
news of the amusement world. If an
actor falls dead on the stage, the critio
may mention the fact, out it is the
duty of the dramatio reporter, if the
acuiueni oappeoa id a loeiuer, or tne
musical reporter, if It Is in opera house
or a concert hafl, to find out all about
it and treat it accordingly. .
I believe that Mr. Leander Richard
son, bow the editor of one of our dra
matic journals, was originally respon
sible for extending tho field of dra
matic journalism so that it might take
in everything, from the details of the
tar's private life, down to the color of
tbeohorns girls' stockings. Richard
son was employed as a reporter on the
7m9VWBn, ten,: or urteenenrs age,
he began to make daily notes of what
this or that actor or. actress had told
. t l n - t . l I . t
mm , e -was acquainted wun many
professional people who were only too
glad to see their names In print. Rich
ardson did his work so well that the
ilace of theatrical reporter was created
or hint on the Times, and for several
years his duties consisted in visiting at
many theaters as he could every even
ing, and following up every bit of gos
sip about theatrical people. If Miss
Lillian Russell had made up her mind
to elope, he knew it before she did, and
told the readers of bis paper all about
it. . Managers have Vld me that tbey
often looked among Richardson's notes
to find out what was going on in their
own companies. : ,
. One night last winter I was told by
clever - and pleasant young fellow
who had for two years held the place
of dramatic reporter for one of our Im
portant papers, that In his rounds that
evening ne had received no less than
three offers to join theatrical com
panies as their press agent. One of
the offers came from a New York man
ager who would require no traveling
from his agent and would pay him $50
a week, with a vacation of a month in
in summer. His duty would be to get
all the free advertising for his employ
er that be could manage. It may seem
strange that a manager and his clerks
can not write what are known as press
notices so that they will suit the ed
itorial eye and find their way into
print.- but it is a well-known fact
that a fluent ' writer with a knack for'
dressing up little bits of news or gos
sip for print Is as rare as he is indis-t
peasaoie in every large tneater. it is
the duty of this man to know that the
chorus girls', stockings were changed
to match the prima donna's hair and
to put this fact in such shape that it
will find its way into print as an amus
ing item., ,. -
1 The" famous ' Col. Mapleson, once
commander of Her Majesty's ope ratio
forces, who made a great deal of mon
ey by giving Italian opera in this conn
try, was his own press agent, and a
most efficient one. Mapleson used to
ay that he got more free advertising
in a week than other managers got in
month, simply because the reporters
knew that he 'was always ready for
them with some talo worth printing.
He kept a special note-book devoted
to such stories or anecdotes as might
look well in print If there was a
squabble in his company, be was the
first to send word down to the news
paper offices, with a requsst that the
reporter should call upon him. He
reveled in squabbles, and I have more
than half an Idea that some of the
furious feuds between members of his
company wore organized by the gal
lant Colonel in order that the newspa
pers might find a pretext for devoting
a few columns to his affairs. He used
to tell the critics that he liked abuse,
provided that there were columns of it;
no could stand anything but silence
npon the part of the press. When his
prima douna had her diamonds stolen,
which happened every season, "he had
no end of reminiscences about such
misfortunes, and he was always more
than willing to tell the reporters all
about the affair, iucidentally mention
ing the fact that the opera house was
always crowded, and the performances
under Col. Mapleson's direction the
best that America had ever seen.
Mapleson Twas a ' remarkable press
agenC but he was too extravagant to
succeed as a manager. He made a
clear profit of about $20,000 a year
during the six or eight years of his
prosperity here, but he spent $25,000.
As a man. he never knew what it was
to he down-hearted. No matter how
desperate were his straits, he found
means to drink champagne at dinner
every day and'to wear a Jundary rose
in his button-bole," - i
"For instance, that story that old
Bon Baker used to tell about Edwin
Booth being billed all over Rochester
as 'Simple Edwin Booth,' I drew out of
Baker, aud it mailo a capital anecdote
for ever paper in 'the towns where
'Edwin Booth is to play this season.
Booth took it into his head in Roches
ter ono day that ho would drop the
Mr.' before his name on the blay-bills,
and sent Baker to the printers to make
it 'simple Edwin Booth' wherever his
name appeared in progams, posters or
hand-bills. Baker gave the message,
and the printer took it literally, with the
result that the cast of tho piny appear

A good old lady from . th.e country
who lad read muctt about Booth, but
who. had never been to' a theater, was
waiting for stage at .the corner of

when a"sandwich" man passed bearing

on his back. The old lady, who had
never seen one of these gentry before,
opened her eyes in astonishment He
was a particularly grotesque specimen
of- his race a fat red. blear-eyed
tramp, smoking a villainous pipe.
"Dear me." said the old lady to her
on. "I never thought Mr. Booth was
that sort of a looking man, and I
should think be would be above carry

actors don't look weQ off the stage,and

HOW TO HUNT THE COON,

There is but one way f bunting the
coon. Hunted only at night to fol
low him the boldest rider must dis
mount yet he who risks neck and
limb, or melts or freezes for sport's
sake, and deems no sport manly that
has not a spice of danger or discom
fort in it must not despise this humble
pastime for such reason.
On leaving the highway that leads
nearest to the hunting ground, the
way of the coon hunters takes them, la
darkness or feeble lantern light over
rough and uncertain footing, till the
cornfield's edge is reached and the
dogs cast off. Away go tha hounds,
their course only indicated by the
rustling of the corn leaves, as they
range through the field, Until one old
trutn-teller gives tongue on the trail
of Br'er Coon, who perhaps has brought
hie whole famHr out for a ooturna
picnic The hounds sweep straight
'away, in fuii ory, on the hot scent to
bill or swamp, where their steadfast
baying proclaims that the game is

' Then follows a pell-mell scramble
toward the musical uproar. Stones,
brambles and all the inanimate ene
mies that lie In wait for man when ho
hastens in the dark, combine to trap,
bump, bruise, sprain, scratch, and be

Then when all have gathered at the
center of attraction, where the excited
hounds are raring about the boll of
some great tree, the best aud boldest
climber volunteers to go aloft into the
upper darkness aud shake the quarry
down or shoot hhn if may be. If he
succeeds in accomplishing the difficult

Vociferous orders given forth by dogs,

woodland toss to and fro a mere dis

The coon is not a great beast one a
tough and sharp-toothed one, who car
ries beneath his gray coat and fat ribs
a stout heart and wonderful vitality,
and a tussle with a veteran of the tribe
of cornfield robbers tests the pluck of
dogs and the coolness of men. t
