Seriously Injured.

An item in last Thursdays Minnea-
polls Tribune announces the serious
injury of Olaf, Hanson, whose home is
given as Willmar. Inquiries made in
this city as to who the unfortunate
man is fail to reveal his identity. As
nothing can be learned here of the
case, We publish the item as it ap-
peared in the Tribune:
Olaf Hanson fell off his wheel late
yesterday afternoon on Cedar avenue
between Third and Fourth streets, and
was SO seriously injured that he had
to be taken to the city hospital in the
South side patrol wagon.
When examined it was found that
he had sustained q fracture of the
skull. He did not regain conscious
ness last night and it is uncertain if
he will recover. Hanson has been in
the city for about q month and lived
at 1000 Fifth street south. He is from
Willmar, MINI.
Since the above was put in type We
learn the following thru = letter re-
ceived on Monday from Minneapolis:
Hanson Is q native of Norway, hav-
ing been in this country about six or
eight months. he located in Willmar
when he first came, employed as .
carpenter by Mr.. Bjorsell.
His case was thought very serious
at first, but he is now recovering and
will leave the hospital this week.
