O. G. Pierson, assistant secretary
of the state board of health, has gone
into Cook, Cass and Traverse counties
to find whether there is an error in
the vital statistics reported to the
federal government during the year
just closed. The three counties re-
ported such a low death rate that the
government doubts that all we're
enumerated, and Mr.. Pierson has
gone to find out about it. Cook
county's death rate was given as 81
per cent, Cass as 6.8 per cent and
Traverse 6.2. Vital statisticians in
Washington refuse to recognize as
accurate death rate that is lower
than twelve to the thousand. Mime
sofas rate is only 100. According to
the federal census figures there we're
22,l76 deaths in Minnesota in 1910.
The state figures revealed 24,O29, but
this included still births, which the
federal statisticians eliminated.
A Braye Fire Fighter Dead.
Captain Michael Kane, one of the
bravest fire fighters that ever handled
a nozzle, died at St. Joseph's hospi-
tai, St. Paul, last Thursday. His
death was the result of an accident
ten days previous while leading his
men of engine company No. in their
assault on fire on West Seventh
street, St. Paul. A pile of blazing
bales of hay fell on him, completely
burying him. Pneumonia set in
which, with the burns over his body,
resulted in his death. He is survived
by his widow and several brothers
and sisters. The latter live at Credit
River, MIMI, near Anoka. Captain
Kane became member of the depart
ment in 1885, and held the various po-
sitions from pipeman to captain until
1898, when he secured a leave of alb
sence to enlist in company b.
Thirteenth Minnesota infantry. After
serving with the regiment in the
Philippines, he returned to St. Paul
and was given his former position.
At the time of his death he was in
command of engine company No. 3,
Leech and Ramsey streets. He was
so years old.
