DIR. Wilson was called to the county
hospital Friday morning to perform an
amputation on the man who was found
so badly frozen near the Red Barn" in
the latter part of November. The right
foot and left leg near the knee had
been previously amputated at the time
he was brought to the hospital, but has
been getting along very unsatisfactory
lily. 1t was found necessary that an
other operation should be performed
on the right leg, so the doctor removed
the leg just below the knee, and as
soon as the patient has sufficiently re-
covered to admit of it another amputa-
ton will be made on the left leg.
