PUTNAM


 word that came to Putnam Friday morn- ing from St. Vincent's hospital at Wor ceSter, where Lundstrum has been a pa tient since he was injured near Perry vile early this month. The nature of the injury to his leg is such that he is facing the possibility that ampatation may of necessity have to be resorted to that his life be served
 The serious condition of Lundstrum is cause of deep regret to the people in his home town-North Gresvenordale- as well as to the people of Putnam where he has @ great many friends. Iundstrum up to the time of his injury was one of the top notchers among the light heavyweight wrestlers of the east and he had a splendid reputation as a mat artist not only in New England but als2 in many other states. He was se- r.ous'y hurt while riding a bicycle that was struck by an automobile near the saehusetts-Connectiou line at Perry vile.
 i Ffa had not fully recovered from an in- 1 jury sustained to his shoulder in a wrest- | ling match with John Kaletchitz of East Eford, at the Victory theater in this city, when he suffered the more serious aeci- | dent now threatening to forever bar him 1 from the wrestling game.
 | Surgeon William Murphy of St. Vim | cents hospital where Lundstrum is a | patient in Worcester was fearful on Fri l day that amputation might have to be resorted to during the day, though there was. the surgeon said. an outside chance "a very small one-that the leg might be saved
 1 Iundstrum has suffered intensely since he was hurt and from time to time re- ports from his bedside indicated that his | progress toward recovery had not been 1 as gratifying as could be wished. That l he is facing the prospect of losing his | leg. however will come as a severe shock to all of the followers of sport in eastern | Connecticut.
 l Mi Lundstrum formerly was a fireman 1 in the employ of the N Y. N H. and H. | R. R. comnany and is well known in Nor wich and New London as well as in this section of the state.
