Sullivan Gets His Broken Arm Monded. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Sullivan, the pugilist, arrived this afternoon to get the best surgical opinion as to his broken arm. He went to the office of Dr. Sayre, who, after an examination of the injured member, said that it had been set with the palm downward, instead of the reverse, and while the fighter conversed with his friends, the doctor, by a further glance, observed Sullivan's preoccupation, and placing his left hand on Sullivan's forearm, and his right upon the wrist, he gave the arm a sudden wrench, which broke the bones asunder the second time. Sullivan rebounded from his reclining position with a sharp cry of pain, and sank back upon the cushions in a dead fainting spell. Salts and other vivifying applications soon brought him back to consciousness, and he found his left hand lying palm upwards, as Dr. Sayre says it should be, but the fighter was knocked out, and became further wearied by fruitless retchings. He was straightened out after a while, however, and his arm was bound in felt wadding, and finally set in plaster of Paris. Dr. Sayre says it will be all right in four weeks hence, and will be as strong as ever. Release of Hamilton. PUEBLO, Col.
