Wilbur Gaskell returned to the hospital
at Boston a short time ago. Early in
the summer his arm was broken. After
setting it refused to heal and he was
obliged to go to the hospital for treat
nent. where the broken member was re-
set. AS it failed to knit, piece was cut
from each end of the bone, shortening the
arm nearly two inches. 1t is thought
this will accomplish the desired result.
