PUTNAM

North GroSvenordafe wrestler: who lies |
in a critical state at st. vincent's hos
pital. following the arnputation of his
right leg in an attempt to save his life.
The removal Of the leg was deemed nee
essary, by DR.. William Lynch, due to
blood poisoning setting in. Among 9TH
er serious injuries sustained by Lund-
strom when he was run into while rid
ing bicycle few weeks ago, was
compound fracture Of the right leg. The
bone tore through the flesh leaving a
Jagged hole and blood poisoning followed.
The subscription paper Is being first
circulated among employees of the NY,
n. H. & H. Railroad. Before taking up
the mat game as means of livelihood,
Lundstrom was a locomotive fireman.
The paper is meeting with ready re-
Spouse and about $50 was subscribed
the first day.. A large committee is
being organized to carry out the plan.
This will consist Of a locomotive en-
gineer and fireman, conductor and train
man and citizens of Putnam and North
Grosvenordale. A boxing carnival is be-
ing planned as one means of increasing
the fund. Lundstrom since entering the
wrestling game has met some of the best
boys in the country and lays. claim to
the middleweight championship of New
England. In his last bout which was in
Putnam some months ago, he was thrown
to the mat and the lgaments torn from
his shoulder blade. He was convalescing
| from this accident and was about ready
| to resume his scheduled bouts when
run into by jitney bus while riding his
| bicycle to his temporary employment.
He was taken Immediately to the hos
pital where he has since remained on the
| danger list. The fund will be known as
cheering fund as it is hoped that the
substantial evidence that he has many
| friends who will act benehciaaly and
perhaps hasten the recovery that Is
! hoped for. Guy L. Baker, of the First
National bank of Putnam, has agreed
to act as custodian of the fund.
