George Reed Improving—Will Have To Have One More Operation.

Mrs. William Bennett, Who has been in Chicago with George Reed and wife since he was first taken to the hospital, returned from there on the 1:55 / train this Tuesday afternoon. She reports that Mr. Reed has been making splendid progress since last Friday morning, that he passed a fine night last night and is cheerful and confident of recovery. It will be necessary to further operate on the limb, however, to prevent later trouble. When he was so poorly after the amputation, the stitches were take out of the wound in order to help the drainage and now a small bone operation must take place so that the flesh and skin can be drawn over the bone. This will probably be performed in a few days, as soon as he is strong enough. It is thought that the operation will in no wise endanger him and that his recovery will be speedy.
