Booth alive today after a 3-hour battle waged by medical science in an eleventh hour operation had failed to route the spectre of death. It was the thirteenth day since Walter's lungs collapsed, but the 18-year-old Troutville youth smiled wanly, said. ‘Tin not superstititlous,” and prepared to fight on. Two score friends, who have never been ready to cry quits in the struggle which doctors say is vain, continued to work in relays pumping Walter's amis to tore, breath into his chest. Doctors long ago gave up hope. They tried one operation a week ago. but failed to rejuvenate the vital nerve. Yesterday, fearing a new relapse, they tried a second. For three hours they had Walter on tlie operating table delving with delicate instruments in the hope of readjusting the spiny. During this time Walter was without anaesthetic. oChild Falls Into Tub Os Boiling Water Here Patty Rose, two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Bollinger, tall in a tub of boiling water at th.?
