The President’s Tour Ends.

Presidents Roosevelt’s western tour came to a sudden end at Indianapolis, Tuesday. An injury on his leg, below the knee, which he received at the tro’ley car accident at Pittsfield, Mass, some time ago, got to hurting him badly, and an examination by tne physicians showed a pus formation that needed removing, to prevent the danger of blood-poisoning. An operation for its removal was therefore performed at St. Vincent’s hospital, Tueday afternoon, after which the President left for Washington, the physicians insisting that absolute rest was necessary.
