A Second Amputation Necessary

 

 

Bradshaw, Nebraska, April 11.

 

Doctors of this place and York, performed a second amputation on Mr. Joseph Prohaska, living seven miles south of Bradshaw, who had the misfortune to get his left foot and leg badly mangled and torn in the gearing of a feed crusher a week ago.  His leg was amputated at the time below the knee, but owing to the bruised condition of the knee a second amputation was performed today.  The amputation was made above the knee at about the lower third and the patient is doing nicely and stood the ordeal in good shape
