J. J. MONTGOMERY UNDERWENT OPERATION

Manager of Local Telephone Company Has Fatty Tumor Removed From Left Leg.

J. J. Mohtgotaery, superintendent of the Jasper County Telephone Co., underwent a slight surgical operation at his home on Cullen street Thursday evening. A little more than two months ago Jack began to suffer some pain in his right leg near the hip and after consulting a local physician, on the latter’s advice went to Chicago and had an X-ray picture of the limb made. This clearly showed that, there was a hard, fatty tumor in the limb, and after waiting a few days it was decided to operate and local surgeons performed the .operation Thursday night. The tumor proved to be somewhat larger than an egg and while not at all malignant, it was rapidly growing. About twenty minutes was required for the operation, gas having been used as an anaesthetic. Jack enjoyed a good night’s rest and today is feeling as well as can be expected. It is believed that he .will be able to get out within a week or ten days.
