Special Takes Rochester Surgeon To St. Paul to See J. J. Hill.

St. Paul, Minn., May 26.—Dr. William Mayo, surgeon, of Rochester, Minn., has been rushed to St. Paul on a special train to attend James J. Hill, who is ill at his home here. It was stated that Mr. Hill is suffering from a bowel complaint which developed into a serious condition. Dr. Mayo, it is understood, was called to operate if necessary. Attending physicians are loath to advise an operation on account of Mr. Hill’s advanced age. He was 78 years old a few months ago. . Until today Mr. Hill’s family had regarded his illness without much concern and even today L. W. Hill said that nothing grave had developed in his father’s condition.
