Attempted Suicide

COOK CAR FELL; WOMAN INJURED


SUSTAINED A FRACTURE OF THE SKULL AND BAD BURNS AS CAR TIPPED OVER

Tillie Helland, employed as a cook in the cook car with the threshing rig of Hans Peterson working twelve miles north of Williston, was badly scalded and otherwise injured last week when the car tipped over as it was being hauled along the road. The accident happened when a slanting place in the road was reached. A heavy stove fell on the woman and her skull was fractured, in addition to receiving severe scalds and burns about the arms. Others in the car at the time escaped serious injury.

She was brought to Williston and placed in the City Hospital.
