MORLAN BOY OPERATED ON.

Charlie Morlan’s little boy who was taken to Chicago last week for surgical treatment, was operated on last Saturday. About three inches of the right hip bone was removed at the socket, where it was found to be decayed, and the left wrist was also operated on. The operation will cause the boy’s right limb to be shorter than the left one, and he probably will not have the same use of it. He is said to be gettiug along nicely from the operation. His father has been with him all the while he has been in the hospital, but expects to return to-morrow with Mrs. Morlan, who with her father, Squire Burnham, will go to Chicago to-morrow morning. The latter will remain with tho boy next week.
