PAKARAE SHOOTING CASE.
MISS PETERSEN OUT OF DANGER. [BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION".] Ciseokkk, Wednesday. Miss Petersen", the victim of thePakarac shooting case, is now out of danger, the second bullet, which 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 exists in the upper jaw. Fairly severe suppuration set in, and from the cavity was extricated loose pieces of bone, a tooth, and bits of the plate, all of which had been driven up by the bullet. Continued suppuration widened the aperture in which the bullet lay, so tTiat it fell until it became visible, and could be removed with a pair of forceps, thus obviating the necessity for an operation that would have been difficult and dangerous.
