Arthur Tuteur Undergoes A Surgical Operation.

C. Arthur Tuteur, well known as an insurance agent and a young attorney, who was brought i home ill from Indianapolis two weeks ago, after being sick there for more than two weeks, was operated on this Saturday morning by* Dr. L M. Washbum, asisted by Drs. C. E. Johnson and E. N. Lo'y. An abscess formed in his chest made the operation necessary and it is believed now that he will make better progress toward recovery. ; Mr. Tuteur served through the session of the general assembly as chief journal clerk of the senate and a few days before the senate adjourned he was taken ill at the Linden hotel. He was later moved to the home of his cousin, Leo Tuteur, in Indianapolis, and continued very sick. The physician who attended him pronounced his trouble tonsilitis and when he was slightly improved permitted him to return home. He has been in bed here since that time and showed no substantial improvement. On Wednesday a tapping- operation was performed to see if there was any watery fluid in the pleural cavity. Instead they found pus and this necessitated a further and more extensive operation and a quart of pus was found this morning and part of one rib was removed. He came out from under the influence of the anaesthetic in good shape and the physicians now expect him to get well, but the convalescent period wil probably require several weeks.
