issued, but at that time a five years.

FRANK Held ELS DEATH.

Fairmont Sentinel Speaks Highly of
Late Hotel Proprietor.
From Mondays Daily.
The Fairmont Sentinel of Saturday
contained the following concerning Frank
Heidel's death:
"Frank Heidel, the popular landlard of
Hotel Heidel, died at one o'clock Sat
urday morning from apoplexy, and his
death coming so unexpectedly, was a
great shock to the people of our city.
cat about four o'clock Friday after
noon Mr.. Heidel carried sack of pota-
toes from vehicle standing on the
street into the basement of the hotel,
and to this physical effort DR.. Luedtke
attributes the stroke of apoplexy which
resulted soon after in death. The deceas-
ed has been subject to the disease for a
number of years, but otherwise was in
his usual health until few hours be-
fore his death.
"It can truly be said of Landlord
Heidel that he passed through the por-
tails of death without leaving an enemy
behind. He had happy temperament,
was always the same, genial, good natur-
ed, pleasant and courteous alike to rich
and poor, the prominent and obscure. He
was known, respected and loved by not
only the people of Fairmont but by the
travelling public of large portion OF
Minnesota and adjoining states.
Crank Heidel was born in Germany
and came to this country when about
twenty years of age. He leaves a wife
and six children, viz: Mrs. Bierbauer.
Mankato; Mrs. Cotton of this city; VIM
Heidel of Winona; Frank Heidel Jr. of
this city; Minnie Heidel of st. Louis
and Harry Heidel of Winona. The de-
ceased was brother of Mrs. J. J. Goetz
of Fairmont and A. T. Heidel of Sher-
burn and another brother lives in Ore
gon.
'In the death of Frank Heidel Fair
mont loses an enterprising citizen, his
family kind and indulgent husband
and father and the world one of the
noblest works of Coda good man."

From MONDAYS Daily.

ca NliiGO py Sanitary DOdFo.
From Mondays Daily.
Minnesota owners of live stock will
make a vigorous effort to secure modi-
fication of the ruling of State Auditor
Iverson that no more warrants be issued
for the reimbursement of owners of live
stock condemned and killed because in
fected with tuberculosis. The ruling will
cost Minnesota stock owners about $751;
900 annually, and an avalanche of pro-
tests against the ruling has reached the
live stock sanitary boarod.
John Day Smith, attorney for the
board, will confer with Attorney General
w. J. Donahower in few days and en-
deavor to arrange some compromise
whereby payments may be made pending
the securing of remedial legislation.
Secretary S. H. Ward of the state live
stock sanitary board returned to ST..
Paul Saturday from a trip through the
northern part of the state, and found
large number of the stockmen's pro-
tests awaiting him. Mr.. Ward heard of
the ruling while away, and said that
as yet no action had been taken by the
board with regard to the matter other
than to arrange for the conference with
the attorney gerenal.
