There was no inquest held this morning
over the remains of Hans Olson the man
who was killed by a switch engine at the
Higgins avenue CROSSING Saturday night
as the circumstances connected with his
death showed that it was purely accl-
dental and no one could be held respon-
sible for it. The funeral was held his
afternoon under the auspices Of the indie
pendent Order of Odd Fellows from their
hall on Higgins avenue and the remains
were inferred in the Valley cemetery. IN
mills at Bonner where the unfortunate
MAJ was a millwright were closed down
for the day in his honor, and a large num-
Der of friends came down to the funeral.
