Elk Horn Boy Dies After
Being Hit With Ball

--------

Folmer, thirteen-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Andrew Petersen of Elk
Horn, was fatally injured Monday of
last week when struck on the head
by a batted baseball. The lad was
playing with other boys at the school
ground and the coach was hitting flies
to larger boys, when one of the batted
balls struck young Petersen on the
temple.

The lad did not complain at the time
and an examination by a doctor failed
to reveal anything wrong. He return-
ed to school that afternoon and also
the next morning, but in the after-
noon of the second day complained of
being ill, and that evening became
unconscious. He was taken to the At-
lantic hosptial and following X-ray
examination and treatment, his condi-
tion seemed encouraging, but later
he grew worse and on Monday passed
away.
