was entitled to go and come at will.
This however. is but one Of the
things the defense intends to try to

no.

DEATH FROM EXPOSURE.

Frank Baesemann, residing at ia N
Fourth Ave-, died Saturday morning in
St. Mary's hospital as result of lying
out doors all night the Tuesday previous
and from injuries received that night
Baesemann lived alone, the family OF
Robt. Splitstoesser occupying another
portion of the house. On Monday
morning, Nov. 25, at five O'Clock Mrs.
Splitstoesser, whose husband was alb.
sent from home that night, heard a
noise on the porch. Raising a curtain
and peering out she saw man lying on
the porch. She dressed herself and
went over to the home of Albert
Hernke, residing near by, and called
his assistance. The man proved to be
Baesemann. Mr.. Hernke assisted him
into the house. Mr.. Hernke offered to
assist Bassemann to undress and to
build fire for him, but he refused both
offers and retired to his bed with his
clothes on. On the afternoon of Tues
day Mrs. John Sherbarth, a daughter,
sent one of her children to the home to
find out why her father had not called
at the house during the day, as was his
custom, and found him lying on the bed
asleep. The daughter called and found
her father in an unconscious state and
summoned physician who sug-
gested that he be removed to St. Mary's
hospital, which was done. He never
regained consciousness. His head and
face we're cut up and at first it was
thought he had been waylaid and beaten,
ont an investigation proved that such
was not the case. His injuries were
due to falls. Mrs. Splistoesser heard
him ascend the porch about midnight
and thinking he entered his apartments
paid no more attention to him until she
was awakened by him in the morning
Deceased was about sixty years of age
and came to this city about five years
ago from the village of Rib Falls, where
he was engaged in farming and general
store business.
He is survived by six children, three
brothers and two sisters. Gustav
Baesman and Mrs. +. X Linder of this
city are respectively brother and sister
of deceased. The burial was made in
the family lot in Rib Falls Monday.
