Last Operation Proved Very Severe For George W. Reed.

The operation performed on George W. Reed at the Hahneman hospital last week, by which the final amputation of his right leg was completed, proved a quite severe shock to him and his progress toward recovery has not been as rapid as it had been hoped for. The poison in his system as a result of the infection which followed the railroad accident has not entirely disappeared and it will probably be three or four weeks before he can be returned home. Mrs. Reed returned here Sunday.
