Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 21, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 December 1899 — McGuerren Got Well. [ARTICLE]

McGuerren Got Well.

In spite of the fact that The Republican duly noted the circumstance that McGuerren, the Carson, Pirie & Scott fullback, at the Thanksgiving ’game here Thursday, was able to attend the dance in Warner’s ball the night following the game; and the further fact that we gave the ..physician’s statement that he was not dangerously hurt, the report Continues to circulate that be died in Chicago from the effects of his injuries. It is even easy to find lots of people who think they remember reading about his death in some Chicago paper; while any number of people know of some other people who read about it, sure. To set the false rumors at rest. Manager Murray of our team wrote to A. C. Hillman, manager of the C. P. & S. team inquiring about McGuerren. In reply Mr. Hillman says of McGuerren. “He is in the best of health, barring a little soreness, which is quite natural. He wanted to finish the game last Thursday, after he came to, but we wonld not allow it. We thank you very much for taking so much interest in him and lam very sorry that such rumors were circulated, for I assure you there was no cause for them, for he went to the dance given at your town the same even- ! ing he was hurt.”
