TROUBLE FROM PIG'S BITE
Mr. Robertson Stood ' Gamely
By in Pain as Other's Leg
Was Amptitated.
Whlle the artery 61 hls rlght arm
was eonneeted wlth that of the mau
who lay on tho operatlng tablo, Georgo
F. Robertson, pt Chase Clty, calmly
stood by -yesterday mornlng and
watched surgeons at tho Memorlai
Hospltal amputato the leg of ht.t
hrother, G. W. Robertson. As hls
healthy blood flowed steadlly thi-ougr.
the tube and furnished strength and
vitality to stand the operation, Mr.
Robertson, though he had nothlng ln
the way pt an anaesthetic except n.
llttlo cocalno rubbod on whero tho ln
clslon wa,s made. was apparently as
free from nervousness as the men who
performed the operation. In the case
of both men the surgeons were most
successful.
A week ago Mr. Robertson came to
the Memorlal to be treated for a blte
on the left leg lnfllcted tnree weeks
boforc by a pig. it was thought at
flrst that tho wound was not dangcr
oii?, but lt became worso each day.
When he cauie to the Memorlal Hos?
pltal hls leg did not respond to treat?
ment. Everythlng possible was done
by the hospltal stnff untll yesterday.
whon It became apparent that nothlng
o*ccpt an amputation could save hla
llfe.

Hls brothers, Georgo F. Robertson.
of Chase Clty, and Rev. XV. E. Robert?
son, pastor of tho Randolph Street
Baptist Church, of thls clty, wero noti?
fled that hls condltlon was very se?
rious, and that tho leg would have to
be amputatod.
Whon tho hour, for tho operation
drew near Mr, Robertson became
weakor. Physiclans sald that he
could harclly live moro than an hour
longer, unless hls leg was cut off, and
even then thero was grave doubt that hls
strength could wlthstand the straln bf
the anaesthetic and the loss of blood.
Hls brother Immedlately offered to
furnlsh the blood from hls own arterlos
whlch he was assured would Insure a
successful operation.
When nll was ready, the lncislons
wero made and throughout the opera?
tion hls heart pumped steadlly. In a
few mlnutes lt was all over and he was
belng congratulated on his display of
nerve. .>.,^'
Both were Immedlately put to bed
and were doing well last night. It ls
ostimatod that more than a plnt of
blood flowed from one man to thp
other. Thoush tho infuslon of blood
Is not considered a dangerous opera?
tion, ln comparlson wlth others, It 's

the rear. Besides the pistol shot. Mr.
Haight was yesterday stlff and sore
from a flerco struggle wlth the ma
rauder, who was loth to go without
hls loot. The fight took <? place in the
unllghted hall, and the only reason
Mr. Haight has to be posltlve that
the man was a negro ls that hls flat
struck a wooly head.
Mr. Haight remembors hearing .a
nolse ln the basement of hls resldence
some time before he went down to In?
vestigate. From time to time lt was

and he went down to put- It out. In
the blackness of the hall ho met tho
man face to face, and the scuffle en
sued. Tho ownor was holdlng up hls
ond well when the nogro drew a re?
volver. Wlth the weapon pressed
agalnst Mr. Halght's hnnd lt was dls
charged and as tho wounded man fell
back tho burglar escaped.
Tho ambulanco was called and tho
gound of the bell brought Pollceman
Crafton, who wns at the corner of
Thlrd Street. Whlle the wound was
belng dressed, the ofllcor made a Oior
