INJURED STEADILY IMPROVING

Two victims of the Wrecked Building
are Still at the Hospital, but
Reported as Improving

The two people who were so seriously injured in the collapse of the Wright-Kinney building on Tuesday morning of last week are still confined at the hospital, but are still improving, and the attending physician believes that their ultimate recovery is assured.

Mr. W. H. Lutzenheiser, traveling salesman for the McDonald Manufacturing Company, who was in the ill-fated building talking with Mr. Kadoch when the crash came is greatly improved. Mrs. Lutzenheiser arrived in Denison last Wednesday afternoon and is helping to care for her husband. Mr. Lutzenheiser had several ribs broken and was badly injured about the head and body. He has been able to receive callers at his room since the accident occurred.

Mrs. Norman Smith, daughter of Mr. M. Molony, who was with her father in his room on the second floor of the building when it collapsed, is reported much better. One of her lower limbs was broken just above the ankle and after removal to the hospital it was found that one or two ribs had been fractured. Mrs. Smith was badly bruised, but it is believed that her good physical condition will enable her to pull through.

Miss Marie Kadoch, who was taken from the building uninjured, has been suffering from a nervous breakdown, but she has shown marked improvement for the last two days.
