Be More Serious Than First Thought.

who sustained severe injuries January

North Carolina, underwent an opera
tfon yesterday at Homeopathic Hos

were badly crushed. and the surgeons
were compelled to do some elaborate
work, involving considerable wiring.
to bring the fractured surfaces to-
gether. The outcome. so far as COM
plete restoration of the use of the af-
fected arm is concerned, is said to be
very much in doubt.
Mr.. Offterdinger was on his way to
Havelock. n. c.. on a hunting trip
with Messrs. D. ]. Pfeiffer and John F..
MurreI. When the train stopped at
Rocky Mount, Mr.. Offterdinger stepped
to the rear platform of the smoking
car in which he had been sitting. He
says the car. after running normally
for a few moments. gave a sudden Jolt
and he stepped backward, reaching for
