SUFFERED FROM ALCOHOLISM
Man had Been Delirious During Thurs
day Night and Fled From the Fischer
Hotel at Daybreak Friday Morning
Relatives Take Body.

The mystery surrounding the death
OF Hugo Anger, whose body was found
on the second floor of the Weiskcgf
school on Friday morning, has not as
yet been solved and it is probable that
| the exact way in which the man met
his death will never be known. A post
norton examination of the remains
and a study of the history of the man
indicates that he came to his death
through natural causes. The autopsy
over the remains was performed by
Drs. j. H. Cleary and c. r. Caughev
on Friday afternoon and they found
nothing either in the stomach of the
man or in the condition of his body
| to give any reason for his death. The
stomach was found to be in normal
condition, but in order TO make certain
Coroner Stanton sent the contents of
the stomach to the state laboratory at
Madison for examination. There were
number of bruises found on the arms
and legs of the dead man, but none
of them were of a serious nature.
Many facts have been brought out
in regard to the last hours of the dead
man. He had lived at the Hotel
Fischer and he was at the hotel less
than five hours before his dead body

from acute alcoholism during Thurs
day night and the early hours of Fri
day morning and George Fischer, the
proprietor of the hotel, who had taken
an interest in the man since he lived
at the hotel was called to his room at
three o clock Friday morning. At that
time he was laboring in delirium and
Fischer after a lot of work managed
to get him to 60 to sleep again. just
before five O'Clock he went to the bar
room of the hotel and demanded some
thing to drink. He was only partially
dressed. The men in charge refused
him liquor and he returned to his
room. No one saw him when he left
the hotel, but it is evident that he
went to the room and dressed and he
must have left the hotel just after five
O'Clock. 1t is thought that wandering
in delirium he managed to get into
the school building and fell while at
tempting to run up the stairs, While
there was little in the bruises on his
face or body il is possible that the
shock of fall such as he must have
had might have caused his death under
his condition. Members of the Anger
family who are prominent in Milwau-
kee sent an undertaken to Kenosha
Friday night to take care of the body
and it was shipped to Milwaukee this
morning after it had been viewed by
"a jury called by Coroner Stanton to
investigate the case,
Anger was at one time prosperous
business man in Milwaukee and was at
one time the proprietor of a big retail
furniture store in that city. Business
reverses coupled with family troubles
seem to have caused him to lose his
business and his nerve and the man
was practically down and out when he
came to Kenosha. He seems to have
been drinking heavily while in the city.
He has several brothers in Milwaukee.
One of them, Edward Anger, is the
proprietor of a large dry goods store
on Twelfth street in that city, while
another, John Anger, is one of the
best known German Lutheran ministers
in the state.
The father and mother of the young
man were at summer resort when his
body was found and they were not ad-
vised of the facts in the case until
today.
The funeral of Anger will be held
in Milwaukee on Monday.
