OPERATION TO SAVE WALKER
Wonderful Vitality of Injured Pugilist Give
Surgeons Some Hope.
SLIM CHANCE TO PULL HIM THROUGH
Removal of the Blood CIOts from the
Brain May Relieve Him-DupOnt
Held in Jail to Await the
Outcome.

There is little doubt now but the result of
Monday nights prize fight at South Omaha
will prove fatal to Walker, one of the COM
batants. Walker has never regained con-
sciousness since he was given the knockout
blow and the attending physicians, Drs.
Kelly and McCrann, do not hesitate to say
that his condition at the present time is
critical. Mrs. Walker arrived from Iowa
yesterday afternoon and spent several hours
sitting by the bedside of her husband. The
doctors held consultation and decided that
1t would be necessary to perform an opera
tion to remove the blood clots from the
brain and this operation will be performed
as soon as the condition of the patient war.

deemed advisable to take the risk. Accord
ing to the physicians the patient has shown
wonderful vitality up to this time and unless
the shock causes a sudden turn for the worse
some hopes of his ultimate recovery are held
out. 1t is stated that unless the pressure
on the brain is relieved that death will
surely come within a short time.
Unless other arrangements are made the
operation will be performed in the room
where Walker has lain since he was carried
out OF the prize ring. This room has no fire
Of fire was called to Chief Carroll's at
tention yesterday afternoon and he stated at
that time that he would procure stove at
once. In speaking about the operation, DR..
McCrann said that in his opinion it would
not change the condition of the patient to
move him a short distance and 1t is possible
that he may be taken to the hospital.
Andrew Dupont, Walkers opponent in the
ring on Monday night, was arrested while
walking down N street yesterday afternoon
by Officer Tom Montague. Dupont appeared
before Judge Babeock a few moments after
his arrest and was placed under $1,000 bonds
for aiding and abetting a prize fight. Du-
pont was unable to give bonds and was
taken to a cell below to await hearing,
which will be held when the result of Walk
ers injuries Is known. From appearances
Dupont had suffered but little from his en-
! counter and barring a black eye he looked
| the same as usual. He took his arrest
coolly and did not seem to realize the con-
sequences in case Walker should die.
