OLD MAN LAZY -- FROZE TO DEATH
Would Have Wed In A Month And Wife Would Then Have Made Fires
FERGUS FALL, Minn., March 15. -- Paul 70, Wolf Lake, died from blood poison because he would not make a fire.
Another month and he would have been married and she would have done it for him. He was one of the wealthiest residents in the district, but lived alone. He kept no fire at night and on the morning of February 1 was found with his feet frozen and his body touched by frost. His feet had to be amputated and blood poison set in later, causing his death.
He was quite wealthy, having large land holdings, and as he was afraid of banks, he kept his savings at home, and is supposed to have large sums hidden about his premises. One son, Henry, is an inmate of the insane hospital.
