Arnold, 201 Dundee, is shown here holding an ancient cap pistol uncovered near her home recently. The old gun was dug up near Dundee and streets while workmen were grading for the new paving. It was buried a foot or so underground. The pistol has a tiny cannon mounted on top of the barrel which slides in a groove, driven by a spring. The cap was placed in a receptacle at the front end of the barrel.

The cannon was pulled back in the groove to cock the gun, and when the trigger was pulled the cannon was driven forward, striking the cap. Older persons who have seen the relic cannot remember ever seeing one before. (Herald Photo by Bailey) Youngster Loses Eyesight Today ORLANDO, Fla.

Every day since Mike's story was told has brought dozens of telephone calls, special delivery letters and an incessant ringing ol the telephone. "That's bad for Mike and for his mother too," the pastor said.

Sibole sat in rear of his church last night and heard about 30 members pray for Mike's recovery. "It is not too late for God to hear our prayers and heal said Fred Pinson, a deacon, who conducted the 'meeting. MRS. S. D.

Nervousness and nausea followed. She found one night she could hardly manage to waltz at an art festival because her right foot turned numb. In the summer of 1954 she came home for a thorough medical checkup in a New York hospital. After two months she felt better and returned to Rome.

Navy hospital in Naples. The diagnosis: arsenic poisoning. Within a week the poison was traced to the arsenate of lead in the bedroom ceiling.
