Two Bullets in His Brain.

The case of J. Herbert Browue, who while intoxicated shot himself twice in the head, near Burrillville, R. L, is a most interesting one for the surgeons. Two holes made by the balls of a Smith & Wesson revolver of small caliber lead directly through his temple into his brain, into which probes have been run several inches without touching the bullets. He still goes about, and suffers, seemingly, no inconvenience. The surgeons think that the balls are imbedded in the skull on the side opposite that in which they entered.
