H. L. Freed, son of Frank Freed Of
Dickinson, came down from Glendive
On Wednesday, having been in the
Northern Pacific hospital for nearly a
year. This young man, a machinist
operator, had a part of his left foot
chilled while working in the Dickin-
son yards last fall. He did not get
immediate attention and when he con-
suited the railroad physician found
that his foot was in bad condition.
He was taken to the hospital and an
effort was made to save the foot, but
last March it was decided that ampu-
tation was necessary and since then
four more cuts have been made, with
the result that the limb is off nearly
up to the knee. In another week Mr..
Freed returns to Glendive for another
operation, and it is sincerely hoped
this will be the last.

who have already gone or are plan
ming to go away to school this year

Clure at st. GATHERINGS, Beth john
