Little Harold Sharp got a small bone in his throat Saturday evening.The doctors here were unable to locate the obstruction and Chas. Rishling took him to Indianapolis Sunday to have the bone removed. The little Sharp boy is the son of George Sharp, of Indianapolis, whose wife lost her life by being run over by a street car last year. The boy has been making his home with Mr. and Mrs. Rishling. The bone was located in his throat and had to be cut out. It was about the size of a pea and had a sharp point, which probably penetrated the lining of the throat, causing it to lodge there. The boy will be compelled to remain at the hospital a few days. The bone was from a piece of beef used in making noodles.

Sprigg, of Oklahoma, are also here. Mr. Osborne, who was operated upon some time ago for cancer of the lip, is gradually growing weaker. The operation instead of curing, has hastened the spread of the disease, and the patient is gradually growing weaker, and his death is only a question of time. He is now being cared for at the home of his sister, Mrs. E. L. Clark. Owing to the nature of the disease it is impossible to care for him in the house and'a tent has been erected in the yard with a raised board floor, making very comfortable quarters, and he is now being cared for there. Harry Wiltshire is nursing him at night and everything that can be is being done to make his last days as comfortable as possible.
