Shots Brink Back to Indiana Man the Use of His Ears. New Albany, Ind., April 9.—Thomas Rankin, deaf for a number of years, while seated In his home reading a newspaper was startled by a loud report, followed by another a moment latter, and he thought a revolver had been discharged In the room. He was dazed for a moment and then noticed he could hear the ticking of a clock, which he had been unable to do for years. Fearing the recovery of his hearing was only temporary, he did not tell of his good fortune until the following morning, when he. found his hearing was still good, and informed his family.
