Wilson, president of Lander College will regret to learn that he was painfully but not seriously injured as the result of a fall on the sidewalk.

A friend saw the accident and went immediately to his relief. He was carried to the office of a physician where his wounds were dressed. He had a good night at hrs apartments at the college and is reported to be doing well this morining. Engraved Cards and Invitations? The Press and Banner Go.
