LEG AMPUTATION
lluppy that tie is alive unci con
tent to smoke his corn cob pipe, J.
AW Wilson, 81-yeur-ultl Medford
und Houthern Oregon pioneer, was
yosterdiiy afternoon showiiiK satis
factory Improvement, a visit to his
hostile at the Community hospital
revealed.' Ho underwent an' oper
u.ion Tuesday' morning for : the
imputation of the right leg. '
Mr. Wilson, who'camo td the
Rotfue River valley In' lStiU and to
Oregon in 1809, had never been
sick in his life until the present
experience and was actively en
gaged in farm work until three
weeks ago, when a fall from a
wagon at his non'8 ranch in the
Elk creek district caused . the
trouble with his leg, which had
met with some injury a year be
fore when he was struck by a
motorcycle on Main street at the
corner of the Nash hotel. As a
result of the two injuries, the leg
was without blood circulation and
the condition b oca mo serious fol
lowing the second fall.
No other course remained than
. to remove the limb and Mr. Wilson
was willing. . lie made no protest
against the ether and he suffered
no sickness as- a result of its ad
ministration. J --.
"It didn't hurt much last night,"
said the old man yesterday, "but it j
seems to-be burning with all fury j
today.. The nerves must bo sym- j
diathetic. It hurts just like it did
before it was cut off." I
"That will be alright in time,"
he was told by a visitor, "and you
must expect a certain amount of
pain, even if you came thru with
colors flying."
Mr. Wilson; who appears' much
younger than his four score, made
no other complaint and spoke of
other things, his mind taking him
back when southern Oregon was
young.
"Kay, I can remember when
thero wasn't any Medford," he
said, "and about where this hos
pital is standing sheep used to ho
herded and on the other side of
Hear creek thero were only a few
houifcs. 1 raised my family near
the present site of Medford and
the old home is, still standing.
Those were the days when Jack
sonville was at its heighth. hotn
of business, lots of people over in
that city, mainly because of the
mining.
"When I was a young fellow,"
he continued, "I used to ride horse
hack over to Linkville, now Klam
ath Falls, carrying dispatches.
That was during the time of the
Modoc wars 'and to make the trip,
one had to follow dim trails, poor
y kept roads and go a lot of the
time thru thn brush. It wti u n
bit hard during January and Feb
ruary. "I'd like to have corrected what
Was in the paper, saying I have
been living over in Sams Valley,"
he was saying as u visiting report
er was about ready to leave. "I've
never lived over there. You might
also correct that about my leg. It
was the right one, not the left that
was cut off. The other one was
already lame. I broke it twice in
'5!i when I was coming across the
plains.
One of Mr. Wilson's nieces, now
living In 1'ortland was the first
girl born at Medford and her mid
dle name is Medford in honor of
the event. A daughter. Mrs.
Lfndemood, of Klamath Falls has
been at his bedside for the past
work or so, and , was with him
yesterday afternoon. Phe was
born near the site of A led ford over
50 years ago.
