Twice the knife-bladeentered the windpipe, and it is a wonder Apolonnio did not bleed or choketo death. The remarkable paid of thecase is that his life was saved by athrust in the chest, the hole thus madeserving as a means of supplying airto the lungs. When surgical attentionwas finally secured it was found thathis windpipe was completely s-tup with coagulated blood. Respirationas still made, however, and the surgeon found that the hole in the chestwas supplying the air.After the fight Jose disappeared andas no telegrams could be sent, he wasnot apprehended. He is probably wellout of the country by this time.Apolonio was much better today, andthere are strong hopes of his recovery.oSimrle tickets to the Ohautauaua
