hospital, performed difficult opera
tion this morning on John Reilly, the
young boy who was 90 badly injured
some three weeks ago by having the
lower part Of his abdomen crushed and
manRled by mine car. His injuries
were such that DR.. McFaddcn
decided that in order to assist nature
in the healing OF the wound, il was
necessary to resort to skin grating.
Two little sisters OF the boy, aged 8
and II. consented to make the sacri-
flee, and went to the hospital yester-
day morning at the appointed time.
