thank" LAUGHL|k DEAD,
Thought that the Veteran Turf
man Committed Suicide,
ASPHYXIATED BY GAS,
He Raised and Trained Many of the
Finest Race Horses on
the Track.

Kenosha, Wis, Dec. 15.-[Special.]-
Henry, Hank" Laughlin, the veteran
Wisconsin turfman, was found dead in
his room at his home in this city shortly
after 8 o'clock this morning. An open
gas burner, from which Illuminating gas
was escaping, told the silent story of his
death. The cause of the opening of the
burner is shrouded in mystery. While it
is generally the opinion that Laughlin
committed suicide, his friends claim that
death resulted from an accident. The
remains were at once turned over to the
undertaken and were embalmed before
the case was brought to the notice Of the
coroner.
Laughlin had been i'll and respondent
for many months. and for the past six
months he has been helpless on account
of creeping paralysis. Yesterday he was
about as usual, but during the early
hours Of the night he suffered great
deal of pain. Three times he called
his wife to his bedside and at 3 o'clock
he told her that he would not call her
again. No sound came from the room
this morning and his wife, becoming
alarmed, went in and found him dead
upon the bed.
Hank Laughlin was one of the most
noted characters of the turf in Wiscon-
sin, and his fame extended to all parts Of
the world. He was A years of age and
since boyhood he has been connected with
the handling Of horses. For many years
he worked for J. [. Case. as trainer of
the famous racing horse Jay Eye See.
Later he gave up the track and went
into the business of racing fine horses.
Ten years ago he became the manager
OF the Uihlein stock farm. Under his di-
rectiOn many of the fastest horses on the
track today were raised and trained. A
year ago, failing health forced him to
give up this labor, and he came to this
city and opened saloon. A short time
ago he was attacked with creeping paral-
ysis and since that time he has been a
hopeless invalid. A wife survives him.
The arrangements for the funeral have
not as yet been made -.

A Sharp Advance in the Cost of

Appleton, Wis, Dec. 15.-The Fox
River Paper company of this city has
sent out circular letter stating that
owing to the advance in the cost of all
materials they will withdraw all prices
and will quote prices to patrons upon
request. This is in line with the action
that is being taken by other paper man
ufacturers. The upward trend in the
price of all paper-making materials has
shown no abatement during the past few
weeks and in defense the mills have
been compelled to withdraw prices alto
gether or advance them sharply. Ground
wood pulp is extremely scarce and sui
phite is in the same condition, coal is
going higher and everything used in the
mills is still harder to procure
