News Notes.
Ilobort TIrup. of 1112 Jifiiyctle
tiret, who had u part of ills nose
bitten off by a horse several weeks
ago, will' not surfer from any noticeable
deformity, thanks to the skill of the
modern physician. The young man was
In the employ of Helser fc Wnrnke,
and when the linn purchased a new
team, he wont to the .stable to look
them over, and as he was admiring
them, one of the homes snapped at
him and bit off a portion of his nose.
When he was taken to the hospital,
the physicians decided upon a skin
crafting process to replace the imper
fect nose. Tlgue underwent live oper
ations, In which pieces of flesh were
cut from his arm and grafted onto his
nose. The operations have boon so
successful that he expects to be dis
charged from the hospital next week.
At first the physicians expected to
attach the flpph from th( arm on the
nose and sever it afterwards, hut this
was deemed impracticable and the
open grafting process was resorted to,
with the above-mentioned result.
A peculiar coincidence in connection
with the cafe was that the horse died
about the time tile second operation
whs performed on young Tlgue.
