Rev. Robert Gill Has
Surgical Operation

While in Portland attending the an.
nual session of the Episcopal summer
school, the Rev. Robert ). Gill, rector
or st. Paul's Episcopal church, became
i'll suddenly Saturday afternoon and
was taken TO the Good Samaritan hos.
pital for an operation. Although he
wIthstood the shock of the operation
and is reported today to be slightly
better, he will not be out of danger for
several days and even then, he will be
under the doctors care at the hospital
for several months. The immediate
cause of his illness was intestinal trou-
bles, resulting from an operation for
appendicitis four years ago.
Mrs. Gill and Mrs. W. T. Slater are at
his bedside. Mr. Slater, who returned
from Portland this morning, said that
the condition of Mr.. Gill was critical
and that it would probably be three
days before he would be out of danger,
all depending whether he had sufficient
strength to recover from the effects
of the operation.
