CHICKEN BONE I'm
GIRL 5 FINGER
IS USED BY PHYSICIAN 70 re.
PLACE DEcAYED PART.
Especial to The Gazette.)

Great Falls, Mont, Aug. 22.-One Of
the most peculiar operations that has
ever been performed in the city was
the recent substituting of chicken
bone for a piece Of decayed bone in
finger Of the 6-year-old daughter
of Daniel G. McGovern, the Montana
Central train dispatcher, who resides
at 511 Fourth avenue south. The
operation was performed by DR.. f. j.
Adams, and is, apparently, complete
,ly successful.
Little Miss McGovern was playing
with her younger sister one day
few weeks ago and in some manner
the younger child ran the prongs of
fork into her sisters right hand in
dex finger. The wound was washed
and dressed, but within a few days
blood poison set in and the had ana
arm became considerably swollen. A
doctor was consulted and the swelling
was reduced, but the finger did not
seem to heal as rapidly as 1t should
have. After some time had elapsed
without the wound showing any signs
of healing, the child was taken to DR..
Adams, who found, after an examina-
tion, that the bone between the first
and second joint was badly decayed.
He decided to try novel method of
saving the finger.
Securing g healthy young chicken.
he took it to the McGovern home, and
when the little girl had been placed
under the influence of an anaesthetic,
he cut piece of bone of the required
length from wing of the live chicken
and placed it IN the child's finger,
making the necessary connections
with the joints at either end.
The finger commenced to heal with
in a few days and now promises to be
almost as good as ever. It will be a
trifle shorter than the same finger on
the other hand, as the first and second
joint will be considerably closer to-
gether, but the little girl and her
parents feel that 1t Is considerably
better than no finger al ali.

Twin Bridges, Aug. 22.-This section

Sunday night, and it is feared that
vegetation is considerably injured. In
some instances gardens were nearly
ruined. Potatoes, beans and corn were
badly bitten. Much grain is yet in the
milk, and it is feared that it too is
hurt.
The frost in the Ruby valley is said
to have been much heavier than in
the Beaverhead or Jefferson valleys.
Ice formed on still water in many
places. Nearly everything in the way
of garden truck was frozen, and it
is thought that wheat is injured so

NATIONALS TO PLAY
DOUBLE-HEADER MONDAY

There should be great times at American
League Park Monday afternoon when the
Nationals open their long at-home series
with the Athletics. Manager Cantillon
telegraphed the sporting editor Of The Star
this morning that he had arranged to play
two games with the Athletics on Monday,
the first game starting promptly at
o'clock. and added in his message that his
boys were playing good ball all the time.
There will doubtless be tremendous
turnout to see the team as 1t is newly ar
ranged on the field, the friends of Aitizer
and Mil being especially jubilant over their
good showing on the trip. Hughes is slated
to pitch one of the games, and Graham
may be selected for the other. Neither
team has set the world afire on the western
trip, and both will be in readiness to eat
each other up.
The Nationals leave Detroit Saturday
night, and the Athletics leave Cleveland
about the same time, arriving here some
time Sunday evening. This will give both
teams good nights rest, and as result
there should be a battle worth going miles
to see on Monday afternoon.

There was a marked reversal of form
yesterday by the Interiors, who downed the
Commerce and Labor by to g In the
opening game against the Post Office the
Interiorites were lamentably weak in team
work, and there were many errors Of COM
mission and omission. Yesterday the team
played as unit,t and with ginger that
seemed impossible after their earlier per-
Torrance. All of the boys kept their
heads and not only knew what to do with
the ball when they got it, but were fast and
daring on the bags, and took advantage of
every opportunity to advance a runner.
Knight was the particular star in the
field, twice nipping fast men at the plate
by quick fielding and snappy throwing.
Vanneman held up the Interiors new
twirler, Ruffner, in veteran fashion, and
the statisticians could take few liberties

the best OF Knockey in the matter of hits,

Primers Surprised st. Stephens.
The government printing office aggrega-

prise package to the large crowd yesterday
afternoon by defeating the St. Stephens
Institute team in quite an easy fashion
Score, to 6.
The printers had out a large contingent OF
rooters who were ever ready with hearty
yell whenever their team gained an advan-
tage in the score, st. Stephens was well
represented by fans, but they kept In the
background throughout the game; the
probable reason was theyswere confident OF
victory.
Jimmie Kerr. who pitched such effective
ball against Aloysius in his last game, was
selected yesterday to face the printers. ba'
his delivery suffered great setback, he
having been touched up for thirteen bin
giles, while in the Aloysius game he allowed
but three. st. Stephens also was on the
Job with the stick, and Wheatley, who was
serving them up for the government print
ers, must have felt little uneasy at times
he having allowed eleven swats. Wheatley
had considerable tDouble in locating the
plate in the early innings, having passed
six men to the initial sack, and the same
number went out on his efforts to get the
ball across.
The West Enders put up their poorest
fielding exhibition of the season. being
short third baseman, they had to shift
their players, Mccormick going to third
This player has been putting up a splendid
game around the second corner, but yester-
day he appeared out of place. He seemed to
have an awful time gathering in the easiest
kind of hit, and when he would recover he
would make the throw to first as II he had
lost all confidence in his wing. Second is
his position, and around that bag he is as
good as the average. Heinrich's playing
was off balance. he having made couple
of miscues that were very costly. King
played his usual good game on first Kerr
and Heinrich sort Of redeemed themselves
by driving out three hits apiece.
The printers got their first runs in the
second on two hits and an error, which
crossed two runners. The score was tied
by St. Stephens in the third on a single, a
feeders choice and a double. At the end OF
the fifth the score stood to in favor OF
the printers, they having found Kerrs de-
livery in this inning more to their liking
than in any other round. In the same in
ming ST. Stephens came UP to within one
run of its opponents. having in turn found
Wheatley's shoots of the simplest sort. An
error and two singles was responsible for
the last run made by the winners. The

Crawford did some pretty nice lodging

Jack Warner was given a hand when he

also remembered. Neither could come back

After looking at Plank and Waddell this
week the Tigers were about ready for Pat
ten. Three left-hand hitters got two apiece
off the Washington star.
About the only thing about the Cantillon
pitching selection for today is that it won't
be Hughes. For Detroit it is likely to be
