Condition Of Willie Day Serious

The condition of w. L. Day, OF
Spencer, who was shot by Thomas
GreenwAde, az noted in our las
issue, is such as to give his friends
great concern. Gu Saturday Drs
Drake, Shirley, Sprstt and Pierce re-
moved a part OF the bullet. Part of
it had lodged in the cheek bone and
part had passed around above the ear.
For some days there were evidences
that lockjsw would develope. This

from Hazel Green and are now at his
