DIED FROM EXPOSURE.
A sheyenne Man Passes Away From
Results of Freezing.

Andrew Jensen died at the county
hospital this morning from the effects
of exposure to the cold. He was
brought to the hospital Jan. 4 and
was scarcely able to move at that time,
both his feet and hands being frozen
stiff. He stated that he had been driv-
ing a team near Sheyenne, N. D.. for
Andrew Lie and that he continued
working for a week after he knew his
feet were frozen. This statement is,
however, scarcely credited by the hos
pital authorities who say that Jensen
was suffering so that he was probably
not in his right mind when he was
brought TO the hospital.
Wasem & Gaard have charge of the
body.
