Death or Frank LInderreIt.-M
Frank Linderfelt, aged about 80 years,
quiet, good citizen, of Industrious
habits, died at his home on Seventh
street on Sunday afternoon last, of ty-
phoid fever. He was recovering from
the disease, but feeling that he must
do something to assist his family went
to work too soon and had relapse
which proved fatal. He leaves n wife
and three children TO struggle with the
cold charities of the world.
There are ten cases of typhoid fever
II in the neighborhood where Mr.. L.

use of surface water. Mr.. Geo. Witt.
man has bored to the depth of 90 feet
and struck vein of nine inches of
| coarse gravel upon bed of solid rock,
from which he is receiving q fine flow
of pure water, and all his neighbors
are now using this water
Soldiers rs ClvllIans-The men en-

Robert Flicker, Frank Oswalt and Jas.

building under Mr.. Nelson, but were
too young to engage in the war.
Numerous Persons YictimIzed.-For
several weeks this summer a man
named Wyman, accompanied by his
family, stopped with Mayor Pierce at
the Exchange Hotel. He was blessed
with genial and affable disposition
which won for himself and family most
favorable opinions of all about the house.
Subsequently he leased the Miller House
at Swanton and opened a hotel of his
own. Upon urgent solicitation Mrs.
Pierce, who was not in good health,
spent week with the family of Mr..
Wyman. In the mean time Mr.. Wyman
solicited the loan of $500 from Mr..
Pierce, to be returned in a couple of
days. He was accommodated by Mr..
Pierce who gave him $50 and endorsed
at the bank for $3.50. The two days
and more passed but there were no It'd
ings Of Mr.. Wyman or the money.
This resulted in visit by Mr.. Pierce
to Swanton, who, on arrival was some-
what surprised to see teams and vehicles
of various kinds hitched around the
Miller House as thick as are usually
found of a Sunday around country
meeting house. The fact soon leaked
out that Mr.. Wyman and wife had tax
en- their departure for Toledo, taking
nothing but valises with them, and stat
ing on their departure that they were
going to attend wedding in Toledo.
All this throng of people were preferred
creditors who held mortgages and other
claims upon the remaining assets suffi-
cient to cover them about an inch deep.
| Up to this date there are no tidings of
the genial landlord of the Miller House,
and Mr.. Pierce is left in doubt as to
whether the new law, passed last winter
for the protection of landlords, protects
or not.
