Nathan Fendig Is In Very Critical Condition.

Nathan Fendig, who was rushed to Chicago Tuesday afternoon after a specialist had been called here to operate, is now in a very critical condition at the Michael Rees hospital. It was found after the incision was made that the bowel obstruction was not an acute trouble but of a cancerous nature and that it was impossible to remove the trouble entirely. Benhart Fendig, who accompanied his father to the hospital, remained there untill 9 o’clock Wednesday night and then returned home. He realizes that his father’s condition lends but faint prospect of relief and it is of grave uncertainty as to whether he can be returned here from the hospital.
