DEATH DUE TO EXPOSURE
Mystery Of Fred Anderson's Disap-
pearance Is Exclaimed.

Owatonna, Mimi, Dec 2.-The mys-
terry of the disappearance of Fred An
derson, for whom search had been con-
Quoted since last Wednesday, was
solved late yesterday when the young
mans body was found on the shores
of a muskrat slough, nine miles north
west of Oowtonna Anderson, who
was prominent young man of Deer
field, near this city, left home last
week for trip to this city, and upon
his failure to return search was made,
but until yesterday all efforts to To-
cate him proved futile. Coroner Adair
viewed the remains and decided that
death was due to exposure on the
shore of the slough, either from eff
fects of intoXication or premediated
suicide. Foul play is claimed by some
as the young man was apparently in
happy frame of mind and the wea-
Their has hardly been such as to cause
his death.
