SUFFERS FOR DAUGHTER.
Fort Dodge Man Undersoes Skin
GRATING Operation,

Ft. Dodge, April 27.-L. H. Gratener,
a Polish Jew Of this city, suffered 1874
square inches Of live flesh to be re-
moved from his body and limbs yes
terday to save the life Of his little
daughter who was seriously burned a
few days ago. Her clothing caught fire
while she was playing near a bonfire
and before help reached her, her arms
had been burned so that the attend
ing physicians gave up hope of saving
them.
When it was made known from the
hospital where she was taken, that
skin grating would have to be resort
ed to and that an unusual amount
would be needed, several persons vol
unteered to supply the necessary
amount. These included a high school
girl and a lad of -, besides grown
persons. The father Of the girl show
ed his great devotion to his child by
making their kind offers unnecessary.
Two small pieces taken from a little
brother with a small piece from one
Of the attending nurses supplied the
necessary amount called for by the
physician.
The sacrifice by the father was the
supreme test Of paternal love and the
heroic manner in which he willingly
gave it called forth admiration for his
pluck by the attendants at the hos
pital. Every hope of ultimate recov-
cry Is now entertained by the attending
physicians.
