Stoughton Man Died From Injuries.

StOughton Man Died From Injuries.
| As John Maggie was walking up the
railway west of the depot toward his
home shortly before 10 o'clock Thursday
evening, he came upon the body of a man
| lying unconscious beside the tracks.
Returning he notified the marshal who
secured help and conveyed the helpless
| man to the city lookup. DR.. Cleary was
summoned and made an examination,
but aside from bruises about the face
there we're no indications of injury No
bones were broken, his pulse was regu
lar, his respiration natural and his un-
| consciousness attributed more to intoxi-
cation than anything else. Watchers
were employed to look after him during
| the night and to report any change in
his condition to the doctor. The next
| morning, however, he had not regained
| consciousness and one side appeared to
be paralyzed. He was removed to
room in the Schmeling block, nurse
| employed and an inquiry started as to
| the causes that led up to his injury.
Certificates of deposit for $500 found in
his pocket served to identify him as Ole
| Sterre, an unmarried man OF 35 or 40
| years of age, who had recently been en-
ployed in the warehouses at Stoughton.
| The presumption is that he came on the
| evening train to liquor up, intending to
return on the $3.50, but when he reached
the depot the vestibule doors of the cars
had been closed and he caught onto the
guards at the sides Of the door until near
| the Earle warehouse when he let go and
in falling sustained the injuries to his
head that produced the paralytic symp-
| toms. His condition remained unchang-
ed until his death Sunday evening.
| 1t is not known that he has any rela
| tives in this locality aside from cousin
living at Stoughton. He raised tobacco
on the farm of John Hogi north of
| Stoughton last season.
The remains were prepared for burial
| at Tellefson's undertaking rooms and
| taken to Stoughton on the IL o'clock
train Tuesday. Funeral services were
held from the Lutheran church there
| that afternoon.

| NOTICE TO ALL TOBACCO GROWERS.
| Owing to the fact that there are diff
ferent people who claim to sell Comstock
Spanish tobacco seed it is our desire to
caution all growers when buying what
| they suppose is the genuine seed to look
for the registered trade mark of w. L.
| Pomeroy &, Co. successors to Pomeroy
& Pelton) on each package. If they find
said trade mark they may know them
selves to be in possession Of the most
pure and genuine Comstock Spanish to-
bacco seed on the market. Bear in mind
that the uniform price is fifty cents an
ounce. Respectfully yours,
W. Z. POMEROY & Co.,
! lift Successor to Pomeroy & Pelton.)
