Veteran Faces Blood Poisoning.

Lafayette, June 16. —Col. C. G. Thomson, candidate for department commander of the Indiana G. A. R. at the recent state encampment at Kokomo, and until the recent meeting of the Loyal Legion commander of that organization, underwent a surgical operation at which the Index finger of his left hand was amputated near the palm. Two weeks ago Col. Thomson ran a splinter into his finger and the wound refused to heal. Blood poisoning set in.
