Mr. Geo. Olson received the sad news, Saturday, that his son Walter, attending school at Luther College, Decorah, was dead. As his folks did not know that he was sick the blow came with terrible force. Funeral was held Wednesday, at Lincoln Church two miles south of town, Rev. Xavier officiating. A large delegation of Luther students was present. The family have the sincerest sympathy of all. Walter was a very nice young man and will be much missed by those who knew him.
