INJURED MAN GETS INTO 'FLU' HOSPITAL Special to The Tribune. EVANSTON, Wyo., Nov. 1. The Red Cross emergency hospital and its efficient nurses are sleadily growing in popularity each day. Early this morning a man, who spoke broken English, En-glish, appeared at the hospital and told the nurse in charge that he had been stent by one of the local'' physicians. Assuming that he was 111, the patient was immediately put to bed, to await further instructions in-structions from the doctor. Shortly afterward the man began smoking and was apparently enjoying his rest, when the doctor appeared on the scene and asked him what he was doing do-ing there, as he only had n sprained wrist. He had been told to go to the doctor's of i ice. Upon being ordered to dress and go to the office, the would-be patient protested, saying, "No, no," but the physician insisted that his orders be obeyed. The patient reluctantly departed, de-parted, almost wishing that he might have had the "flu" instead of only a sprained wrist.
