Died. Hjalmar Rued Holand, 90, author, archaeologist, lifelong dedicated investigator of the faint and blurry traces of Viking visits to North America before Columbus; of uremia; in Sturgeon Bay, Wise. Holand was an unknown amateur in his field when, in 1908, he heard that a farmer near Kensington, Minn, had found a stone with baffling inscriptions on it. Holand deciphered the inscriptions, indicating that Vikings had visited the interior of North America in 1362,* spent the rest of his life trying to refute critics who thought the markings were fake.

*Holand's translation and interpolations: "Eight Goths and 22 Norwegians on exploration journey from Vinland round about the West. We had camp by [a lake with] two islands one day's journey north from this stone. We were [out] and fished one day. After we came home [we] found ten of our men red with blood and dead. AVM [Ave Virgo Maria] save [us] from evil. [We] have ten men by the sea to look after our ships, 14 days' journey from this island. Year 1362."
