ing of the left leg, between the knee
and ankle, that required Immediate sur

operated on. The operation, lasted only
a short1 time. At ;7: 30 p. m, he was
conveyed on a fctretcber to the train
and left Tor Washington; ; :, i . ;
The first intimation ' that anything
was wrong came In rumors to the great
crowd that was patiently waiting at the

inside. " The command was .given to
"make room" and a path' was cleared
from the club to the carriage,' and the

ting upon the -asphalt, and a rattling of
carriages, could be heard the cheers of
the people who thought they were bid-
. ding the' President "good bye." In a
few minutes St. Vincent's Hospital was
' leached, and the operation began with

eye the-President received a blow upon
Jthe inner pari of the left, leg, between
the anKIe an knee, but he paid no at
