Nick Olson received the sad intelligence Wednesday that his nephew, John Olson was dead. He departed immediately for Minneapolis and returned on Saturday with the body. John had been working in Minneapolis since January, and was killed in the switch yards in Minneapolis by a car passing over his body, but just how the accident happened no one seems to know. He was a young man about 24 years old, and come from Norway about three years ago and worked in our vicinity until last January. He was a young man who was loved by his acquaintances and is well spoken of by all.
