TUBE, IN BODY LONG
TIME, IS TAKEN OUT

Hugh Burris of Cherokee county,
Iowa, underwent a rather unusual op-
GRAFTON at Mercy hospital in Daven-
port yesterday. A drainage tube, sew
ed up his body at a former operation
nearly two years ago and which had
lodged in the pleural cavity, was re-
moved. There were more professions
than physicians and surgeons present
in the operating room. 1t is stated
several of the spectators were attor-
neys, legal counsel for the patient
Attorney w. J. Mcdonald of Iowa
City was seen to emerge from the
hospital shortly after the operation.
He refused to talk or even discuss the
case.
Dr. l. W. Littig, it is stated, per
formed the operation and in so doing
saved the life of the patient. When
asked concerning the operation Dr.
Littig became as non-cOmmittal as an
army officer. But you performed the
operation this morning, did you not,
dOctOr?" he was asked. DR.. Littig,
however, retained his silence and re-
fused to affirm or deny the inquiry
The original operation was perform
ed on Mr. Burris at the Homeopathic
hospital in Iowa City early in the
year 1915 by an Iowa City surgeon.
the patient failed 10 rally as well as
expected from the operation and sew
eral months later he returned to the
hospital and underwent an X-ray ex-
animation Through this means the
tube which had been sewed up in his
body was. located. The same doctor
who performed the original operation,
following the location of the tube,
performed another operation for its
removal. He represented TO the pa
tient, So it is claimed, that he there
upon removed the tube. The opera
ton at Mercy hospital disproves the
Iowa City doctors claim, for in the
pleural cavity Of the patient was
found a rubber tube four inches in
length This was removed, as pre-
viousIy stated. by DR.. Littig The pa
tient is said to be recovering nicely
from the operation, It is understood
a damage suit is is to be started short
" against the Iowa City doctor
Mr. Burris, the patient, is about 80
years of age and is a stationary en-
gineer by occupation. During the past
year and more he had suffered acutely
from the effects of the tube being
lodged in his chest

Issue Statement.

Relative TO this important matter
the executive committee OF the club,
of which Burtis II. Wilson is presi-
dent and \. E. Peetz secretary, issues
the following statement today.
There is a general impression
among the residents Of our central
and northern states that the birds are
unusually numerous this summer.
There is no question but that this is
true. Newspapers all over the COun-
try have commented on it, and if any
reader of this paper will stop and
think, it will be readily apparent that
there are more birds along our city
streets than ever before in the history
Of our community. 1t is generally
that this increase is largely due to the
enforcement Of the Mclean migratory
bird law, which is becoming effective
in the soath, where robins. meadow
larks. 1ickers and many others were
slaughtered as game during their win
ter stay.
Locally. we have been asked, What
are the objects of the Rock Island
County Bird club, and why is such a
club needed? Here is a partial an

Throwing bats seems to have be-
come a custom OF the major leagues.
Ty Cobb was the first to show how
to turn the trick. Last year he

Ty tossed his war club into n box at
Chicago and drew a suspension and
a fine of SIS.
This year Leslie Nunamaker, the
Yankee catcher. thinking Dutch

at the offender.
George Mcbride. the Griffmen's
captain. tossed his bat at Carl Mays.

using the bean ball"
Now. Benny Kauff. reading In tho
papers about these other bat-throw-
ers. has Joined the bat-throwlng
ranks by hurting his wagon tongue

against a punk decision.
