There is rancher north of

who is irrigatiug a farm of l6O

ditch full of water that is ap-

revolutionize agriculture in that

GEORGE DANDBERG
LOSES 4 FOOT

Yesterday afternoon at TIE N ca
Lean hospital in this city George
Dangberg submitted to an opera
ton that deprived him Of his
rig At foot. The doctors have been
untiring in their efforts to save
the member but the disease was
too deep seated as for the past
week he has been in a dangerous
condition from blood poisoning.
After a consultation it was decided
that amputation of the member
was necessary in order to save Mr..
Dangberg's life. The foot was
removed about four inches above
the ankle Joint.
The operation was successful in
every particular. Since yesterday
he has been resting easy and spent
a good night. 1t is the belief
that he will pull through as he
stood the shock even better than
the surgeons anticipated. From
present appearances the removal
of the diseased member has saved
his life Carson Appeal.
