Fractured Skull

I ran across the following news item from "Stories of Medicine in Athens County, Ohio, a multi-authored anthology compiled and edited by Gary E. Dordingley, M.D., Ph.D.

I am wondering how his skull was fractured?? Was it an unrecorded fight in the street? Was his skull fractured by a Haigler resident? Or did his horse throw him? Has anyone ever heard of this incident? Was it an accident or MURDER?

Robert William Hanson (or Hansen), M.D. (1864?–1907), graduated from Columbus Medical College in 1886. He died with a fractured skull in Haigler, Nebraska, on January 29, 1907, having held medical licenses in Iowa, Indiana, Nebraska and South Dakota.
