M. H. Scruggs, pioneer of Ca
lexico, is in the California hospital,
in Los Angeles, and his death is cx-
pected at any time. About two years
ago he underwent an operation for the
amputation of a foot, which was made
necessary by tuberculosis of the bone.
At that time his physician said the
operation might prolong his life only
three years. 1t seems now that the
disease will claim him quicker than
was expected.
