 The case of James Swan, who died yesterday at the town house, was rather a peculiar one. Some two years or more ago, while at work at the Malleable works. his foot was badly burned. It was not properly taken care of and he was soon laid up. Several of our physicians were called, but he refused to have any Sthihg done, and threw out of the window every thing left to treat his foot. He was thea sent to the hospital, where the physicians decided that the only way to save his life was to amputate the foot. This he re- fused to have done and was returned to his home. his foot apparently rotting away the stench from it being uncearable He lived over a saloon in Union City and things got so bad that the keeper was losing his trade. Then he was reported to Health Officer Morse. who laid the matter before the state board of health, who told him to serve notice on the select men to provide place for Swan. This was done and Swan was taken to the small house on town farm in March, 1894 He was entirely helpless and has been taken care of by Patrick Ryan ever since He had to be handled like child by Ryan, who was nurse, physician and keeper to the man until his death, which all supposed when he was sent there would come in few weeks, instead of which he lived over fourteen months. Swan had a wife. who now lives in Water bury.
