GRAFTS SHIN BONE TO SPINAL COLUMN ‘Wilson Hancock Undergoes Delicate Operation Today for Broken Back. Wilson Hancock, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter W. Hancock, of No. 31 Fairview street, underwent a most del- icate operation today in a Waterbury hospital the outcome of which will be awaited with interest by many friends. The operation was an unusual one. Almost two years ago young Hancock was thrown out of an automobile in New York state and fell across a railroad track. The fall fractured one of the vertebrae in his spinal column. He was in a hospital for a long time but finally recovered enough to re- turn home. His condition improved and a year ago he was engaged as the pianist at Fox's theater. Once before preparations were made for him to o under the surgeon’s knife in an at- tempt to Yemedy his injury and pre- vent a growing deformity but it was postponed. Todays operation consisted of laying bare the injured portion of the young man's back bone. Then a small piece of bone was cut from his shine-bone and grafted onto his spinal column in place of the broken vertebrae. It will be months before the young man re- covers and his . condition = will be watched with interest by many medi- cal men. his GOING TO INDIAN Willis Lockwood, son of Mr. and Mrs. William A.

The boys, while they have not entirely campleted their plans at the present time, see no grave obstacles in their path and ex- pect to commence this business in June.
