About twilight on Saturday after
noon, Jan. Is, Fred who is en-
ployed in Il lumber camp short
distance beyond Eagles Mere re-
turned home, seeing no tracks
about the house he thought that
perhaps his father had gone to La
porte for couple days as he often
did, the doors being locked Fred
decided to climb in the window
secure his overcoat and go to La
porte to find him, as he came
through the window he stumbled
against some object, Lighting a
match he was astonished to dis
cover lhe lifeless body of his father
LAYING ON the floor at his feet and
frozen stiff. 1t is thought that
he arose from bed Friday morning
dressed with the exceptions OF put
ting on his shoes, and as he was
about to start a fire in the stove
was stricken with heart failure.

Canning Air.

One week ago last Thursdly, a
short, chunky man with red,
curly mustache and wearing a
Prince Albert coat of the Ichabob
Crane pattern walked slowly
throught the streets of Laporte and
shifted the invigorating mountain
air.
We noticed him several times
acting III a very mysterious man
ner and were greatly mysti6ed, but
now the secret is out and we are
going to put the public next 1t
seems that the gentleman in
question was at one time a college
professor of considerable renown,
whose brain had become weakened
by constantly endeavoring to in
vent an apparatus by which the
invigorating mountain air of some
high altitude could be stored up in
winter time in small cans, about
the size and shape of a milk can,
shipped to the city and in the sum-
mer place i'll the hot, sultry rooms
of the metropolis, where it would
be allowed to slowly escape from
the can cooling the hot atmosphere
and filling the room with this
health giving air.
Someone, who had been in La
porte or lives here now informed
him that the county seat of Sulli
van county would be the proper
place to get his air, so he made a
trip to Laporte, secuted around a
little and returned to New York
City we'll pleased with our brand
of air. where he will organize Il
stock company: and in all probabi-
llty, the apparatus, cans aud per-
feSsor will arrive here in a week
or SO.
