Mrs. Joseph Adams of Rensselaer was called here yesterday by the sad condition of her father, A. S. McElhoe, who lives north of town. He has been suffering for some time with a malignant growth on the side of his face, which was supposed to have been cured or at least checked, but Saturday it reached and destroyed the sight of the eye on that side of his face.
