Mrs. C. W. Coen Underwent Surgieal Operation in Hospital.

J. L. Brady received a very encouraging telegram today, Saturday, from Rochester, Minn., informing him that Mrs. Charles W. Coen, of South Bend, formerly of this city, had successfully undergone a surgical operation for the removal of an internal goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid gland of the neck. T[ha operation was performed in the hospital of the famous Mayo Brothers, at Rochester, Minn. A minor and preparatory opbration was performed several days ago, by which the arteries of the neck were severed and tide to get them out of the way of the goiter. The operation was a delicate one and the outcome was filled with uncertainty but the telegram Mr. Brady recelyed was very sanguine that success would be the outcome.
