SURGERY, WITB. A VENGEANCEt
Y -
A- Q,ueer Ope rat lon- Iii e Klcphaat Ro?
meo Under the Knife-Tonne ll lng his
Flesh nrfth Fifty Red-hot Crowbars
The Animal Quivering with Pain.
[From the Chicago Times.]
, The most colossal surgical op?ration ever
performed upon a living creature was wit?
nessed by a select few In this city on Tuesday,
June 4. The elephant Romeo, ot Forepaugh's
menagerie and circus, was the subject. It
appears that at the opening of the present
season Romeo was more than usually intracta?
ble, and waa accordingly chained up. He
tugged at the chains until they entered deeper
ana deeper Into his flesh, and tho wounds
afterward festered and Inflamed so that he
could scarcely walk. Having two weeks to
Btay in Chicago. Mr. Forepaugh determined to
place Romeo In the hands of a surgeon. With
this purpose in view he called on Dr. H. W.
Boyd, professor of surgery and anatomy ol the
Chicago Medical College, who bas had some
. experience In elephantine surgery, having
dissected to or three ef these monsters, and
who ls now engaged in setting up the great
carcass of the famous Hannioal In the museum
of the college. The nrofessor consented, and,
accompanied by Mr.' R. J. Withers, a veteri?
nary surgeon, mace his appearance at the
memvierre."
THE S ? Rei SONS BEG IN KINO THEIR WORE.
Having got Romeo In proper position, the
surgeons opened their tool chest, and light?
ing a brisk dre in a inroace secured for the
occasion, roiled np their sleeves and literally
"went in." Une ol the Forepaugh brothers,
who bas charge of the elephants, placed him?
self in front of Romeo with a pltchiork; a nim?
ble darkey, assistant keeper, took charge of
his trunk by attaching several handspikes to
lt; Dr. Whithers knelt before his victim, and
In another moment several pounds of eie-,
pbdht steak were severed from the mass.
Simultaneously a low rumbling like distant
thunder vibrated through the tent, bringing
every animal In the menagerie to the chorus,
and for a minute or two lt seemed as if all the
elephants had broken loose In Pandemonium.
Romeo was tbe first to recover bis presence,
being assisted-In bia task by many well-di?
rected and pointed arguments.
The next thrust brought only a quiver over
the huge carcass, and after that, during
three mortal hours of terrible pain, the animal
displayed only the noblest qualities of forti?
tude. The surroundi ogs ot the animal soon'
presented the appearance of an ill-ordered
slaughter-house.
TONNEtXJNQ A MOUNTAIN' OF FLESH.
- Again and again, under the direction of Prof.
Bond, 9r. Withers cor, gouged, tunnelled'
and chiselled Into the poor beast, each time
co ttl Ufr away or digging out a pound or two ot
putrid flesh, and each lime the knife or other!
tool was withdrawn the' blood flowed copious?
ly after lt. Like a practiced miner, the doc?
tor only prospected for a while, feelinzhls
way to-the crevices. Soon he laid bare a
member, and then entered uoon a task that
sickened the stoutest saw-bones* present Hav?
ing exposed the seats of corruption be hagan'
Jto scoop them out, bringing handful alter
handful to the surface. Tunnelling his way
along by means of scraper? and chisels, bia
arm would enter the animals leg to the elbow,
until the sound flesh was reached, lt was not
.Jong before the explorer discovered that wbati
sound bone or flesh there was in Romeo's fore?
legs wasn't worth speaking about, and the
only wonder was tnat the animal was alive
and able to stand on his legs.
AN HOUR UNDER THE KNIFE.
Alter a foll hour spent la slashing, gouging,
and scraping, during which the poor beast was
rid of fifteen or twenty pounds ot pu tri fled
matter and flesh, and a pound or two of bone,
the surgeons concluded that sufficient for a
day might be the evil thereof, and desisted
fro ox that part of the operation to enter upon
another ten-fold more painful and harrowing.
Both legs had been thoroughly tunnelled, and
la many cases, where the" openings were
directly opposite, but-slight integuments-and ?
fractions or bones prevented a meeting:
While these excavations had beet' progressing^
men were busy at tbe furnace heating buge
soldering Irons, several loches in diameter, to
a whit? neat. These were now brought into
requisition io remove the proud flesh.
BURNING OUT THE PROUD FLK3II.
When Dr.' Withers approached the animal
with the first of these glowing irons, a shiver
rau.lhcongb hie [rame*, and he was disposed
to reseat i any further aggression, but being
convinced by the pointed arguments of his
keeper that lt was all tor his good, he - Issued
another low thunder, which was echoed from
every cage, and straightened his trunk and
braced himself lor furine r martyrdom.
The red-hot Iron waa now run lato tunnel
Mo. 1 to the length ol about: a foot, anda his?
sing t un fi, followed- by dense volumes oi
fumes and an Intolerable stench. Issued from
the opening. The poor brute shook like an
a-pen, made a slight .effort or two at resis?
tance, but soda settled into quietness again.'
Another red-hot Iron was Introduced, agolo
there waa a quiver of the whole frame, but
this time he only drew up his- back and
changed his position a tri fie.
A TCMULT -AMONG- THE, ANIMALS.
Tmn blood now began to dow from the ca?
verns in copious supply, a sight that made all
the Minali ol the cat species desperate, and
lions, Ugera, leopards, hyenas, panthers;
wolves, and-others of tbe Innumerable horde
whose cages formed a circle about the mar?
tyr, joined In low growls, which were inten?
sified to roars and shrieks as the fumes of th?
. barning flesh filled their nostrils. This tu?
mult caused a score or two o? keepers to' rush
fortrie dens of their pets ia their, respective
charge, and as these added their not over
gentle voices to tbe volume, and the rage of
the bear.ts for Ute nonce was still further ag*
g ra vated by cudgels and other persuasive
things calculated to stir op the animals, tbe
hue and cry was terrific, attracting hundreds
cf people from the neighborhood, who sur?
rounded the ceots, though la momentary fear
that a deluge of uncaged wild beasts would
come'upon them. But against any such ca?
tastrophe the strong cages were proof.
FIFTY BED HOT IRONS. .
When the din and noise was somewhat
quieted, the operation was proceeded witt
and during the two following hours above flit,
red-hot irons were thrust Into the poor brute's
carcass. When the surgeons finally desisted
it was not because they believed their task
completed, but because the caverns bad as?
sumed such dimensions that the two-inch
irons proved too small to be further, eActive.
Besides, Romeo was evidently weakening and
getting a little "groggy" from the loss of three
pailfuls bl blood. Dr. Boyd estimating tnat h?
Ead lost about three pailfuls during the oper?
ation. The openings were then throughly
washed with lotions, and afterward carel ul ly
bouDd ap. The old fellow has always dla
dlsplayed a strong predilection for candy and
other sweet things. Alter the operation a
nice, big stick was proffered to him, but he
refused lt with a solemn shake of his' head.
Wnen tbe animal's naturally violons temper ls
taken into consideration, his noble behavior
during the painful operations can only be ac?
counted for on the hypothesis that, with an
elephant's proverbial sagacity and fine in?
stinct, be was convinced that it would re?
dound to his good. The surgeons expressed
strong hopes of his recovery, but he died oa
Friday. '
