day at the city hospital. About two
years ago Emory TruXell, who is
about Il years of age. was stealing
ride on freight train from Rock
Island 10 Moline. when in some man
ner he fell off the train and had his
right foot caught beneath the wheels.
rest of the foot was saved, and since
then the young man has gotten
around with the aid of crutch.
Now a species of gangrene known as
necrosis of the bone has set in. which
makes it necessary that the limb
should come off between the thigh
and the knee, if the boys life is to
.e saved. Consequently, Mr.. TruX-
ell was down town Saturday and said
Jocularly to several of his friends
that it was the last time that he
would be down town on that leg.
He shows great nerve in the face
of his approaching operation, ter
rible as il must he. and his chances
for recovery are good if he can but
keep his, nerve a few weeks until the
shock of the operation is over.
