Harry Hydorn In Hospital

Harry Hydorn, well known travel
ling man who formerly made this
territory frequently for the Standard
Oil people, was stricken with apo
plexy in Grand Rapids, Sunday, and
was rushed to hospital for treat
ment and the word sits through that
he is improving splendidly and will
be out and at his old tricks again in
due course of time Mr.. Hydorn was
a great joker and never considered
visit to this city a success unless
he had scored by playing some prac-
tical joke on one or more of the bus
mess men in town before leaving. On
the other hand he felt the same way
about it when a good joke was pulled
at his expense and his legion of To-
cal friends will hope that his recov-
cry will be rapid. Later-Mr. Hy-
dorm died this morning.
