ing the evening until late hour with
friends; and upon going to the hotel
to retire for the night found 1t lock-
ed. Not feeling inclined to awaken
the proprietor, he secured a ladder
up which he climbed to the second
story and while attempting to open
the window the ladder slipped from
under him and he fell to the hard
frozen ground, landing on his head.
His pal, who witnessed the accident
summoned medical aid, but an ex-
animation revealed fatal fracture
of the skull, and the injured man
survived the, fall by only few min
utes 1t being pure case OF acct
dental death no inquest was held.
The funeral was held Sunday from
the Catholic church at Stanley.

be opened, by bill which will be
presenter by Congressman Hanna.
