Miss Amelia Krause joined her sister Mrs. Freeman Dankeyer and the latter’s children from Chili on Saturday’s noon train and went to Eau Claire and visited Freeman, who is in a hospital of that city recovering from an operation for the relief of appendicitis, from which disease he suffered acutely early last week.
