RESULTS IN DEATH.
Three Amputations Could Not Save the Life
of John Greilich


of John Greilich.
1t becomes the LEDGER'S duty to
chronicle the untimely death of John
Greilich, former correspondent of
this paper from Willow Springs.
Our readers will recall the fact that
he was accidently shot near his home
at Willow Springs On the 18th of jan
uary. He, with his two brothers, had
been at work near their home during
portion of the day. They had taken
their guns along to do little hunting
on their return in the evening. While
on the road home the unfortunate
young man dropped his gun from his
shoulder accidentally and it struck the
ground in such manner that the
gun discharged, the shot penetrating
his leg near the ankle and shattering
the bone. He was cared for by his
brother who secured assistance and
John was taken home and DR.. Norman
was summoned. The wounded mem
ber was dressed but in few days it
was found that amputation was neces-
sary; and that operation had to be per-
formed second time and then third
time in the hope of saving portion of
the limb as well as the young mans
life. In spite of all that surgeons skill
could do for him death claimed him as
his own on Thursday, February 1st.
John Greilich was young man of
more than oadinary attainments, abili-
ties and ambitions. He was honest.
upright and Industrious, and will
be sadly missed by the many friends
he has made in and about his home
near Willow Springs.
