    　　At about 6 the next morning, he and one of his assistants reached Lamesa, where they were going to Chicago at 6∶30．There was still half an hour left before the train started, so Mr．Jameson decided to telephone to Chicago to ask about his wife．And after that, if still enough time was left he could see a doctor and have the piece of coal or the piece of metal removed out of his eye．His eye and his whole head ached now．
