Sioux City. July 29.-Rather than
pay a nominal fee for care and treat
ment at a hospital, Otto NJ lson, a
wealthy resident of this place, died
alone and unattended at his bachelor
quarters, the body being found by a
neighbor.
Foul play is not suspected, because
Mr.. Mathson, for several weeks, had
brain, and physicians had Informed
him that he must have the care of a
hospital.
To Mr.. Mckinney, of S02 Clark street
Mr.. Mathson declared Sunday that he
would rather die alone and unattended
than to pay to physicians the price
they asked for treatment.
"I'm not sick-merely a little boi
in my ear" is the manner in which
Mathson tossed off all reference to his
ailment.
Friends suggested that he had bet
ter summon medical aid, but he de-
clared he could not spare the money
notwithstanding the fact that he had a
large bank account and owned sew RAJ
thousand dollars worth of Sioux City
real estate.
The last time Otto Mathson wa.s -eer
alive he entered his home about noon
Sunday. Neighbors missed him and
when Mr.. Gilman peeked into the win
dow and saw his distorted bo1y ing
on the bed he knew that tne inevita DE
had happened.
DR.. j. E. Carver, county coroner was
notified and he instructed C. T. West
colt, the undertaken, to take charge OF
the body.
So far as can be ascertained, Mr.
Mathson had no relatives in this coun-
try, all his kin residing in Sweden.
The body has been hern etlally
sealed in copper casket and ho fu-
neral arrangements will be made until
after the inquest tomorrow,

banks may mutually agree not to &C
cept the county funds on deposit here
after. The new law which became eff
fective July 4, requires the payment to
the state of per cent interest on
funds held on deposit. The bankers
are objecting that they are required TO
do much free business for the county
and that owing to the uncertainty as 10
the length of time which the funds are
apt to be held the deposits are regarded
as scarcely worth the interest required.
Should the banks refuse to accept the
funds the county treasurer will doubt
less have to seek the assistance OF out
side bankers, as there is on an average
of 100000 in the county treasury and it
would not be regarded as safe to keep
so much coin in the vaults of the coun-
