Prominent Citizen of Morocco Underwent Serious Operation.

Dr. Morehouse, of Morocco, called Drs. Johnson and Washburn to that place this Tuesday morning to operate on John Kennedy, a prominent and wealthy citizen, for an acute obstruction of the bowels. It was found that the obstruction was caused by a ruptured appendix and that abscesses had formed and his condition was so serious that it is probable he can not recover, although he was afforded much relief after drainage from the appendix was established. Miss Gwin, the hospital nurse, is temporarily assisting in the care of Mr. Kennedy, who is about 65 years of age.
