for attempting to save young lady

moving up the hill to the tower when
he saw lady's hat carry away in the
breeze. Without signaling for the
car to stop he jumped off in pursuit
of the hat. No one was alarmed
when Nelson did not reaEpear on
the car, supposing that he would
catch the next one.
The motorman on a car that was
passing down the incline some time
afterward was attracted by shouts.
He stopped. Nelson, unable to walk,
was taken aboard and brought to the
Rock Island sanitarium, where Drs.

dressed his injury, a severe fracture
