Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 86, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 July 1899 — Dluzak Will Recover. [ARTICLE]

Dluzak Will Recover.

All kinds of contradictory reports about the condition of Jacob Dluzak, tbe aged victim of the row in Milroy, between himself and Al May and son, continue to circulate. r For instance a party of young men from Wolcott, who were here Sunday, professed to have postive information that the old man would die from his injuries and that his physican, Dr. Clayton, of Monon, had so announced. On the other hand The Republican has received an unsigned letter through tbe postoffice, written by some one who professes to know all about the present situation, and in the letter, it was positively stated that Mr. Dlnzak had now “completely recovered.” - < - In order to sift tbe real truth from these complicated reports, we telephoned over to Dr. Clayton, this, Monday forenoon, and the doctor courteously gave us a statement of Mr. Dluzak’s condition, as he saw him Sunday. He is still in bed, unable to sit up, and in a pretty bad shape, but the doctor is confident he will ultimately recover. There was no fracture of the skull, as reported, but extensive bruises and some abrasions of the skin, not only on the head, but many other parts of the body, as back, sides, hips etc., indicating that he must have been very severely pounded.
