Terrible Condition

Towner. y. D., Sept. 14.-Mike Reilly
laborer, who was employed on the
Syndlebach rig for time. died at the
city fire hall at Drake. His case is
rather peculiar one. Some time ago
he quit work on the rig on account of
sickness. but for some unknown rea-
son preferred hanging out in straw
stack during the day. Occasionally
he would go down town and get a
meal. Tuesday morning he was found
lying in the straw stack, too sick to
move. He was taken to town and
everything possible was done for him,
but 10 no avail. No one knows just
how long he had laid there, but it
must have been several days. for his
body was fairly crawling with mag
gots, which had eaten into it. He was
unconscious greater part of the
time, this making it impossible to
learn whether or not he had any living
relatives. A ticket. emitting him to
a weeks medical treatment at the St.
Jcseph's hospital at Ashland. Wis,
was about all the paper that was
found on his person. A message was
sent to the hospital at that place in
hopes of learning something of the
whereabouts Of his relatives, but he
is unknown there. About SIG in
checks and silver was found in the
pockets of his clothes
