BERT WILSON, or RED OAK
uNDEReoEs INTERESTING
OPERATION.
FLESH FROM HAND
PROVIDES NEW PROPOSES
Finger Is splieed and Attached to Nose
Until Both unite-Lost Part Of Nose
Thru Necessary Surgical Operation
- Arm and Body in Cast For
Twenty One Days.

Red Oak, Feb. Barring bad luck
and an error in surgical calculation.
Bert Wilson, of this city, will soon
have a new nose which will be made
out of portion of one Of his little
fingers Bert lost the fleshy part OF
his proboscis by surgical operation
few years ago. Only recently did
he consult medical authorities in re-
gard to making him a new nose. This
very thing is now proposed, and Bert
went to Council Bluffs few days ago
to enter a hospital where the work will
be done.
The method of producing the nose is
to graft the end of one of his little
fingers on the bone in the center OF his
face. The flesh of the finger Is split
and placed in the proper position on his
face. The finger is not amputated at
this time, but the hand and arm is held
up in place by plaster of Paris cast
until the flesh OF the finger unites with
the bridge of the nose. II the process
proves successful that far, then the
finger is cut loose from the hand and
trimmed up in the shape of a nose. 1t
takes about twenty-one days for flesh
to unite in this way, 80 Bert will have
to remain at the hospital with his arm
and body in cast for some tins to
come

Opposition to Labor Bill
Strong opposition to the proposed
anti-injunction law which the labor
unions are fathe:ing was evidenced al
the open meeting Of the senate ju-

ernoon. The committee holds open
meetings Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays.
Yesterday representatives of bust
ness interests appeared before the
committee. Former Senator Weber
OF Ottumwa, argued against the bill
He declared the only reason congress
passed the federal anti-tnjunction bill
as set forth in the Clayton act was
because the congressman and senators
feared the union vote. He said if the
Iowa legislature approves an anti-in-
junction bill it will be for the same
reason and not because of a real ex-
preston of the best judgment of the
members.
F. J. Weitz, Des Moines contractor
and builder. told the committee that
the great mass of the union men would
