JOZEF GATZKA
HAD HIS LEG AMPUTATED
Last fall a Town line farmer living a few miles west of here of the name
of Jos. Gadzski(sic) was run over by disc harrow and his right leg was
seriously hurt at the knee. The wound seemed to heal fairly well but the
bone was injured so severely that it finally became diseased and
amputation became necessary. This was done last Saturday by Dr. J.R.
Minnehan of Green Bay assisted by Dr. Farrell of this city and Dr.
Maeney of Manitowoc. The leg was taken off close up to the hip joint.
The operation though very successful, was a very difficult one.
