C. T. Boicourt Underwent Serious Surgical Operation.

C. Taylor Boicourt, son-in-law of the late William Baker and who returned to this city from Wolcott soon after the death of Mr. Baker, is in the Methodist hospital in Indianapolis where he underwent a serious surgical operation. Dr. Gwin, his local physician, was present when the operation was performed. Taylor has been in poor health for the past three or four years and his trouble seemed to be a gall bladder inflammation and ulcers of the stomach and bowels. The operation developed a most serious condition and it became necessary to detach the main bowel from the stomach and make another opening when the largest of the ulcers was removed. It is not thought that the ulcers are of a malignant nature and if they are not the chance of recovery is good, although Taylor is very weak and the operation of a character that will take careful nursing and a considerable time for full recovery.
