MAN WITH SILVER TUBE STOMACH IS DEAD AT 103 Springfield, 111., Sept 8. W) Ferdinand Waggoner, who lived forty-three years with an artificial stomach of silver tubes, died today at the age of 103 years. Waggoner, a florist during his active life, was accidentally shot in the back by a shotgun in the hands of a friend during the Chicago fire, 1871.
