PAKARAE SHOOTING CASE.
VICTIM OUT OF DANGER. BY TKLKGUAI'ir—VIIBSS 'ASSOCIATION. GISLSORNE, June. 15. Mies Petersen, the victim of the PaUarae shooting case, is now out of danger, the second bullet which had been lodged in her head having been removed. Dr. Collins, who attended the girl, states that the bullet had penetrated the hard palate of the mouth, and passed through a large cavity which existed in the upper jaw. Fairly severe suppuration set in, and from the cavity was extracted the loose pifces of bone, a tooth and bits of the place, all of which had been driven up by the bullet. Continued suppuration widened the aperture, in which the bullet lay so that it fell until it became visible and could be removed with a pair of foiveps, obviating *.he necessity for an operation that would have been difficult and dangerous.
