to hospital where his name was
found to be Joseph Lashway enroute
from West Bay. Wis, to Great Falls,
Mont. With him were his wife anu
two small children.
The man died the following day at
Devils Lake and the body was taken
home to Great Falls on Saturday
night.
1t appears that the deceased had
been sick for several months and that
the party left their home in Great
Falls some time ago going to West
Bay, in the hope that special treat
ment would effect cure. It was too
late, however. and the physician ad.
vised their return home. They had
barely enough money to pay car fare
and were completely destitute when
taken OF the train at Devils Lake. A
purse was taken up at that city and
money was supplied until brother of
Mrs. Lashway's came to the rescue.
