LAUGHS AT DEATH.
McCrory Youth Stitched 300
Times After Fall on Saw,
Will Recover.
How it feels to live after you
have been sawed almost in two
by a buzz saw, six of your ribs
cut in twain, and your beating
heart exposed to plain view,
was told Wednesday afternoon
by Paul Koonodle, 16 years old,
who lies at St. Joseph’s hospital
with more than 300 stitches in
his side.
“You thought I was going to
die, didn’t you?” Koonodle
smiled at one of the doctors who
have been attending him. The
smile, though, was faint, for the
suffering and shock that he has
experienced has contracted his
features, giving him the appear
ance of being many years older
mail ne is.
'Tm feeling better today,”
said the boy, “but my side still
hurts me. I’ll be well before
long, though.”
Although Koonodle realizes
fully the seriousness of his in
juries, and was even told by a
country doctor, it is said that he
could not live, he has flouted the
idea of death si nee the first. If
he had ^ personally stacked the
cards against Fate, he could not
be more certain, in his own
mind, that his recovery is only at
matter of time. This spirit and
optimism, coupled with his rug
ged constitution, has assisted the
doctors greatly in their efforts to
save his life, which they now be
lieve will be successful..
WANTS TO SIT UP.
Wednesday, he asked one of
the doctors when they were, go
ing to permit him to sit up. He
was lying there with a wound
ten inches long1 and four inches
wide under his left arm, just be
ginning to heal- On the day
following the operation he asked
for something to eat. So far, he
has been fed only liquids, but as
his condition improves his diet
will be augmented with solids.
One of the most remarkable
features of Koonodle’s case is
that> he lived for 26 hours before
he reached the operating room,
with practically no medical at
tention and only a mass of gauze
stuffed in his gaping wound.
During this time he was driven
ten miles across the country, in a
wagon, to the nearest rail
road station.
Koonodle was on the operating
table at St. Joseph’s hospital last
Thursday night for one hour and
20 minutes. A thourough exam
ination revealed that six ribs had
been sawed m two, his diaphragm
gashed and his left lung collaps
ed by the whizzing saw. The
wound was swabbed with iodine,
both inside and out, the injured
organs sewed together, the jag

I ged enis of the ribs smoothed off
and the place- ten inches long
and four inches wide—sewed up.
More than 300 stitches were
taken during the course of the
j operation.
Young Koonodle was hurt at a
I saw mill at Langton, Ark., eight
miles from McCrory, Ark., last
Wednesday afternoon. He was
brought here on Thursday even
ing, taken to the hospital in
Holst Bros. & Hinton’s ambu
lance, and operated on immedi
ately.
The boy is by no means out of
danger, but his condition has im
proved to such an extent that
Dr. W. E. Ragsdale, who operat
ed on him, agreed to a brief in
terview with him by a newspaper
reporter Wednesday afternoon.
