G. R. STORY, Sec'y.
E. E. Dawley,, who has been buying
flax at Elma for the Union Fiber Co.,
was taken suddenly and seriously ill at
that place on Wednesday morning and
during the day a good many startling
rumors concerning it were current on
the streets of Cresco, but according to
our information from Elma are entire
ly without foundation. The existing
facts are that Mr. Dawley has been
troubled with severe headache for the
past few days and Wednesday morning
was suffering worse than usual. While
sitting on a bale of tow near the press
he suddenly fell over unconscious and
most of the balance of the day he spent
in an unconscious condition, while at
times he would complain of a terrible
pain in his head. His brother Bert,
was summoned and went over in an
auto with Chan Robinson and E. O.
White. Late in the afternoon, Mr.
Dawley, still unconscious, was brought
to Cresco and taken to his home and at
last accounts is much better having
^ntirely recovered consciousness. The
attending physicians here do not state
the cause of his illness, but the Elma
physician diaognosed the ailment as
brain fever or something similar and
treated the case accordingly.
