In conversation with DR.. Crane
Monday afternoon he stated that de-
Velopments in the case of M G. Porter
were such that it would be necessary
to amputate his leg, perhaps a little
below the knee. Mr.. Porter's limb is
now sweiled to that extent that the
circulation of the blood has stopped.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Maynard and
the children expect to leave the lat
ter part of the week for points in

freight run over the Milwaukee road

H. G. Calhoun received a telegram
Monday from relatives at Bara-
boo, Wis, announcing the serious
condition OF Mrs. Calhoun, saying
that she was dying. Mr.. Calhoun
left that evening via the Oma-
ha road for Baraboo. Mrs. Calhoun
went there a few months ago for
the benefit of her health, having
been very poorly indeed for some
time.
The annual meeting Of the d.
rectors Of the Commercial and Saw
ings bank was held Saturday evening
and matters Of interest to the welfare
of the bank were discussed. Mr.. R.
e. Cone, who has been in the employ
of the bank for some time, was elect
ed to the position Of assistant CASH
Ter, a place he has won by his capa-
bilities and close attention to the
business of the bank.
There are some alarming conditions
in the Ease of M. C.. Porter, who
recently suffered the fracture. of
his leg at the ankle. Instead of CON-
mencing to heal within a short time
after the limb was set it seems that
the two large veins were injured and
they have commenced to swell. The
entire. limb is affected and DR.. Crane
thinks there is much danger of Mr..
Porter losing his limb, and it may
even take a more serious turn.
Miss Ella Preston has been visiting
with her parents and ret urned Mon
day morning to Marion, Iowa, where
she is attending school. Sunday morn
ing Miss Preston sang a solo at the
Congregational church and her sing
ing was a great surprise to those who
heard her. She has a very sweet
voice indeed and she sings with a
great deal OF confidence which adds
much to the effectiveness of her sing
ing. Miss Preston has just recently
commenced to cultivate her voice
and it is evident that the future
holds much promise for her in that
line.
The new passenger service on the
Sioux City division Of the Milwaukee
road was put into effect Monday. The
passenger from the north arrived at
1850 and laid here until / :O5, a
little yer two hours, and then pro-
ceeded on the journey to Sioux City.
1t makes a pretty long wait for pas
sengers, but it gives them a chance
to go up town and look over the city.
The hotels and restaurants will profit
somewhat by the new arrangement,
while the lunch room at the depot
will get a good share Of the business
lat the moor hour. There were no
other changes Of any moment in the
trains that arrive and depart from
Mitchell.
