stock.
The room in which the body was

leading to a hole under the floor
which was used as a stove place,
and it was found on investigation
that a pan of ashes had been placed
in this place to keep out the frost
In the cellar there was some flax,
straw and hay which had become
ignited from the pan of ashes and
Mr.. Kugel, in getting ready to go
out, stopped over and removed the
trap door, which was found leaning
up against the side of the room.
In raising the door, MI. Kugel must
have got the full force of the pois-
onous gas and flame from the hole
under the floor, and being over
come, was unable to get out in the
fresh air. .
Albert B. Kugel, a brother from
Omaha, arrived on Tuesdays train
to look after the remains of his
brother. The remains were taken
to Omaha for burial.
Mr.. Chas. Kugel was a member
of both Odd Fellows and Knight
of Pythias and had many warm
friends in this county, and many
are the expressions of regret heard
for the bereaved relatives. 4
