 At the residence of Fire Commission CT Holcomb yesterday afternoon it was stated that he was slightly improved and his symptoms were slightly more favorable. It has developed since his injury last week that he not only sustained a concussion of the brain, but that the skull is also fractured at the base He is conscious only part of the time and his condition, which has been critical since the beginning, is hardly less so now than formerly. Dr. Frank Whittemore, his physician, is in con- stant attendance and holds out every hope for his recovery, although from the first he has not hesitated to point | out the gravity of the case. The com missioner's popularity was never more | shown than at present when daily in- | quiries are made about his condition | by his friends and acquaintances.
