MEETS DEATH IN WIRE FENCE
Wealthy Pennsylvania, Unable to
Free Himself, Freezes, While
Friends Search.

Pottsville, Pa.-Too weak to free
himself from barbed wire fence that
held him captive on mountain three
miles from here, Louis Stoffregen. so
years old. wealthy resident of Potts
Vile, was frozen to death. While his
body was swaying about in the wind
hundreds of friends searched the val
ley below.
Mr.. stofrregen left home in the after
noon to take walk. He apparently
climbed the mountain. and was held
fast when his clothing caught in a
barbed wire fence. The aged man
was probably exhausted by the long
climb, and his feeble shouts were lost
in the rush of the wind.
Friends started the search when he
failed to reach home at dark. State
policemen who had been called in
climbed the mountain and found the
body.
