A very fine and intricate piece of sur
gerry was successfully performed last
Thursday by DR.. HaZlett, assisted by
DR.. Crise. James Dental, aged Is
years, of Banner township, was afflict-
ed with &dphylOma, a disease of the
eye which is difficult to describe in
an ineligible manner but which pro-
duces blindness. The vision of the
young mans right eye was destroyed,
and the eye itself prOtruded. Fearing
sympathetic action on the other eye,
which was good, young Dautel came to
Abilene to have the diseased eye re-
moved, the difficult undertaking being
successfully accomplished by Dr.. Haz-
lett. Master Daudet is doing nicely,
and as the DR.. will give him glass eye
his loss will not be noticeable.

was freely given so that no pain would
be felt during the trying operation. The
prospects are fair for ultimate recovery.
