Strange Case OF L. r. Anderson, Who
Died at the Hospital Last
Night

In the death last night. at 11;30
O'Clock, at the General Hospital, from
pneumonia. of Legrand r. Anderson,
an elderly man of seyenty-fye years,
of Lawton, Mich, there IS presented
In its profound melancholy of detail,
a startling parallel to the tragic life
OF Pere CARROT the immortal concep-
tion OF Horace BnlZac
Details of Anderson's life reveal the
same almost abnormal love for his
daughter as that possessed by Gariot,
likewise the same personal denial
and sacrifice that they, his two chill
dren. might live IN happiness and
luxury.
Not that word Of complaint ever
came from Anderson's lips. Far
from that Nor was il by any outward
sign that he ever manifested the deep
and abiding emotions which had their
foundation at the very roots of the
soul. The lonely old man lived In Il
single room of the home of Mrs Grace
On Adams avenue. and II was ONLY at
covert moments that he let fall hints
Which told her something OF his life
elsewhere
The old man first put IN an ap-
pearance In Ogden in the early part
OF July and first sought the home of
Mrs. Turner on Adams avenue. for
accommodations. His clothes were
shabby and he was not too prosperous
looking, but Mrs. Turner stood ready
TO rent room to him providing that
the terms were suitable The price,
however, was too high he thought.
and he said he would look else where
Thereupo1 he secured smaller
room at Mrs. Grace's. two doors be-
low. where he had lived up until
Tuesday evening He lived on crack
ers, and fruit either given to him or
purchased at stands and ate them
alone, in his room.
Each day, in pleasant weather. he
would take the baby of the house out
lor an outing. He seemed extremely
tond OF children. He was also n
great reader and for the past four
months he has been a familiar figure
at the public library.
On Sunday. after returning from
Walk with the baby, he complained
OF cold. Monday he was feeling
worse, and on Tuesday, despite his
protests, Mrs. Grace decided to call
