ROBBINS TO BE OPERATED UPON.

Archie 8. Robbins, tue young man eo badly injured by his leap from tbe oourt house tower last week, still lies in a helpless condition at the Hotel Forhis, says tbe Mouticell -Herald. Reports have been ourrent that he was improving, bnt he ’as shown no signs of motion or feeling in his lowtr extremities from tbe first, and his condition is regarded as very grave. He will be taken to a hospital scon and an operation performed to relieve if possible the preesure upon the spinal cord whioh oans.s the paralysis. Tbe hope that it was only a blood dot whioh caused the pressure has grown fainter as the time has passed, and it new r* mains to be seen whether a surgical operation will relieve him. Dr. Gray’s diagnosis of the oaee was confirmed by Di. Eastman of Indianapolis.
