Died From Eating Shot.
His intestines perforated several hum
dred times by shot that he had swal-
lowed when eating wild game that had
fallen to his gun, Chris Larson of Nc
lntos h died in the Bethesda hospital
at Crookston, while his medical attend
ents we're ignorant of the nature of his
aliment.
A post norton examination revealed
the astonishing condition of the man,
a condition such as never has been no.
ted before in modern surgery.
Larson owned an eighty-a acre farm
near Mcintosh. He was extremely &C.
centric and refused to sleep anywhere
but on a heap of straw in stable, with
his horses and cattle-never having
any more adequate covering than an
old binder canvas.
His diet consisted mainly of wild
game, such as rabbits, prairie chickens,
ducks and geese, supplemented with
additions of vegetables as he was able
to raise on the farm. Altho eccentric,
he was thrifty and managed to work
his land to good advantage.
Unusual Fatality.
Arthur Proehl, the nine-year-old son
of Mrs. Elizabeth Proehl, who resides
with her father, Henry Beneke, in
Rich Valley, near Glencoe, was killed
in peculiar manner.
The little fellow went to the hen
house to gather some eggs, and had to
climb up to reach the upper tier of the
nests.
His weight on the tier pulled it over
and it fell, carrying the boy with it,
pinning him down on the floor in the
corner Of the coop in such manner
that his mouth and nose were forced
into the hollow of his left arm, which
had become doubled under his face as
he fell
The weight of the box was so great
that the boy was una BILE to move it and
he was suffocated, being dead when
found ten minutes later by his uncle,
