Hamilton, accompanied by Dr. Gwin, went to Indianapolis this Wednesday morning to consult a specialist about his eye which had caused intense suffering since Sunday. Apparently the inflammation was subsiding and it was seemed best to have a specialist see it. Mr. Hamilton had the misfortune to lose the sight of an eye when a boy and it is the blinded eye that is causing the trouble and the specialist may advise that the ball be removed and a glass eye substituted. Fear is entertained that if this is not done the other eye might be affected.
