WAS ILL AND ALONE.
Sad Condition Of Mrs. Davis at Her
Home in Mapieton.

From Fridays Daily.
Last Friday DIR. J.. w. Kruger was
called to see Mrs. Harriet Davis, who
lives alone at the family home on Sec
ond street. He prescribed for her and
not deeming her condition serious said
on leaving that he would call again on
the following Tuesday. On Tuesday he
called at the house, knocked, and not re-
ceiving any response supposed that per-
haps Mrs. Davis had stepped over to
one of the neighbors. He then responded
to call in the country and on his re-
turn again went to the house knocking
not only at the front door but the side
door as well. No one coming to the
door and there being no signs of anyone
about, the doctor called Mayor Schim-
mele's attention to the case and in COM
pany with the village marshal the two
men returned to the house again knock
ing and not hearing sound from with
in, the door was forced open and Mrs.
Davis was found lying upon the floor
partly dressed. The supposition is that
she heard the doctor knock and in at.
tempting to reach the door found her
strength would not permit and fell
upon the floor where she was discovered
when the door was forced open. Her
body was cold and the fire was entirely
out although the stove was filled with
coal. How long she was without fire
is not known as she has been uncons-
cious much of the time since her discov-
cry, and unable to tell anything about
what happened. There was no wood at
the house and some boxes were brok
en- up and fire started. Assistance
was also summoned from the neigh
bors and in short time the good wom
an was made as comfortable as posi-
BILE. When the men opened the door
she recognized them and said: ''I'm
here and that's about ALL"
Last September when her only son.
Mr. F. B. Davis, cashier of the State
Bank at Walker, was home, he endeav
ored in every way to have her rent the
house and go and live with her niece
Miss Wilson, of Mankato, or have a
telephone put in the house so that she
could send for what she needed but
could not convince her to make either
move. Like many another aged person
she was inclined to her own ideas, and
no amount of persuading could change
her. Being of rather retiring DISPOSE
ton she did not visit much with the
neighbors and as consequence no one
had missed her. 1t is remarkable, how
ever, that one of her age should have
survived the cold weather of the first
part of the week without fire fol
warmth and comfort.
AS soon as Mrs. Davis condition was
discovered word was sent to her son
also to Miss Wilson and the latter ar
rived by the first train, and has care
fully watched over the sick woman ever
since. Mr.. Davis is on his way here as
fast as the trains can carry him and
it is hoped will arrive before there is
any change for the worse.-Mapleton
