FOUND DEAD.
ssshorty'' Frazier Expires suddenly ID
Wine Room.

Iron Saturdays Daily.l q
Julius Frazier was found dead. inta
chair about O'Clock last evening in a
wine room in the rear of George Fleen-
er's saloon, corner of Main and Marion
streets. 1t is supposed that death was
due to overindulgence in the use of al

err were 1elephoned and took the body
to the undertaking establishment of
Coroner John O'Donnell, on West See.
ond street.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
Frazier came into the saloon and or
dered the drinks and soon after went
into the wine room at the rear of the
buildino. He told the porter, John
Mckenzie, to call cab as he wanted
to go down to the east part of town.
The cab was called, but for some reas-
on Frazier did not go. Clarence SUIT
ton. the bartender, said that he was on
duty at the time, but shortly afterward
went down town, another bartender
taking his place. He came back about
6 o'clock in company with Mr.. Fleener,
the proprietor, and they learned that an
intoxicated man was in the wine room.
Fleener went to the room accompanied
by Sutton, and upon looking at th..
man saw it was Frazier and noticed
that he had,a peculiar look. He exam!
med him and saw that he was dead,
although upon Sutton's christening his
shirt mis- body was still warm, showing
that he had been dead but very short
time. The coroner and police were no.
tilted and Chief Williams and Officers
Myers and Gallagher took the remains
to the undertaking rooms OF Coroner
John O'Donneil, where an inquest will
be held as soon as his immediate rela-
tives can be located.
Shorty Frazier, as he was COM
monty called was about 35 years OF
age and had been resident of this and
neighboring towns for about twenty
years, and until recently was employed
as a driver in the Phillips mines north
west of the city. OF late years he had
become very incorporate, much more
SO since the death of his wife, which
occurred about five years ago. He leaves
son, James, about 10 years of age, a
bright little fellow, who is living with
John Pyle, near Blakesburg. His
mother and two sisters, it is said, live
in New York City. Coroner O'Donnell
is trying to locate them today and as
soon as he can find them, will hold an
inquest.

Liquid air is to receive a practical test
in California. A large fruit growing con.
Germ is to manufacture it for the purpose
of transporting fruit across the continent.
One-third of the cubic area of refriger ator
cars now used for carrying California
fruits to eastern markets is occupied by
the ice chambers and the cost is now
from 800 to 800 per car to land the fruit
in New York city. Liquid air will be
carried in the size of an ordinary water
bucket and kept on tap at comparatively
small cost. This will doubtless revolu-
tionize the shipment of fruits to eastern
and western markets.
