Ross Bringle’s Condition is Serious—Operation Performed.

The condition of Ross Bringle, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Bringle, of Jordan township, is quite serious and it is certain that he will have a close call if .he eventually pulls through with his life. He was operated on at the Presbyter-, ian hospital in Chicago at 9 o’clock Tuesdey morning and it was’found that the presumed obstruction ot the bowel consisted of an ajiscew of the Intestine and the operation was thus very much complicated. Mr. Bringle did not reach, Chicago pntll 1 o’clock Tuesday afternoon,, owing to the belated milk train, and he went at once to the hospital. Ross was almost out from under the influence of the anaiw thetic and seemed to be resting fairly well. The surgeon had gone and Mr. Bringle was unable to get into communication with him td find out the exact condition of his son, but’ he learned enough to know that the chances are not very favorable for recovery. He returned home this morning a’nd tomorrow he and Mrs. Bringle will return to Chicago to see their son, who is their only child. The many, acquaintances of Ross in Rensselaer are deeply interested in the outcome of the case and are hoping that he will speedily recover.
