The fracture of the skull extends from tho back of the head to the temple. Dr. Anderson, Ander-son, Fowler and F, D. Benedict, were called to attend the boy. The surgeons sur-geons succeeded in removing the portion por-tion of depicted skull a piece about the size of a silver dollar and when they left last evening the patient was resting as comfortably as could bo expected, though he was in an exceedingly critical condition. |
