Death Of Charles Bauer.

Death Of Charles Bauer.
Lying face down on the bare board
floor, the head resting on pile of kind
lings almost under the stove on which he
had been getting his own meals for the
past eight months, the body of Charles
Bauer, one time wheat speculator and
later in his life night Waterman in a
downtown building, was found in an up
per room at 761 Washington avenue
north this morning by woman who was
preparing to move into the quarters thus
so strangely vacated.
On the one table in the room, lying in
the midst of bits of groceries and scraps
of meat, was copy Of a summons and
complaint served on the old man Feby.
10 in divorce proceedings brought by his
wife.
The complaint stated that Bauer's age
was 81 and his wife's %, that they were
married January %, 1893, her maiden
name being Mary 1. B. F. Ehwalt. Cruel
ty is made the main grounds for petition
for divorce, but the complaint also states
that for several years Bauer has spent
every cent he could get in specializing in
wheat, that for long time she helped
support him by giving him everything
but clothing. and that year ago she
found it necessary to cut him off entirely.
The dodgers in the building state that
the old man has since then supported
himself by working as night Waterman
i'll an office bnilding, and that he ate and
Slept i'll the room in which he died. An
other ledger was to have taken the room
this morning, as the old man was behind
in his rent, and it was her attempted en-
trance to the room which developed the
pathetic incident. The theory is that
death came through the aged mans
intent.
The above is taken from the Mime
apolis Tribune of Saturday and undoub-
tedly refers to Charles Bauer, former
resident of this county, near Neche, and
we'll known to the old settlers. Mr..
Bauer was originally man of consider
able wealth, and while somewhat eccen-
trio, was well thought of by many friends
who will regret to hear of his tragic end
ing. He has a son residing at Bathgate.
Children and Dogs Like Him.
Correspondent ofFargo Forum: While
was in the senate hall this big man
came in with a package candy. He
scattered them among his neighbors and
threw some over among the messenger
boys and seemed greatly amused to see
them scramble for the sweet bits. He
saw the senate i'll miniature in that COM
pany OF boys. One little fellow did not
get any, and showing his big hand down
INTO the package, he went quietly over
and filled that little chaps lap. They
tell me that is what he does all the time
up in Pembina county, and that is the
reason he has represented his county in
the senate from the orig1nation of the
state. could not help feeling of APP
probation for the man that wanted to
sweeten and gladden. that boy who got
fleft.
And we might add that every dog in
town wags his tail when Jud comes in
sight. And there's an adage, that he
whom children and dogs like, isn't all
| bad.
There's another story apropos, about
children and dogs. In the flood year of
1882 small boy, perhaps too young to
know better but not too young to learn,
was amusing himself by pushing puppy
of the floating sidewalk into the cold
water. Jud came along, took the boy by
the collar, dipped HIM into the icy flood,
then standing the dripping lad on the
sidewalk, went away without word.
But no explanations were needed, and
the boy had learned something he has
never forgotten.
