Fargo Man Prevents Burial Of
Strangr % Himself BY Sud
denly Appearing.

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 24.-William
Sundquist brought his own fun
eral to a sudden ending yester-
day by appearing before his grief
stricken wife and her family, Just
as they were making final ar
rangements for the disposition of
a body believed to be that of Sund
quist.
Sundquist and man whose
name is unknown here were en-
gagged in the harvest fields near
Fergus Falls, Mimi. Last week
the laborer started for South Da-
kota and by mistake took Sund-
quist's coat instead of his own.
Monday he was killed in an ex-
plosion near Westhope, N. D.
The authorities found papers in
the coat pockets, which led them
to believe the body was that of
Sundquist. And as Sundquist
the remains were brought here
and Mrs. Sundquist notified.
In the meantime, Sundquist
still at work at Fergus Falls, read
of his reported death. He immed-
lately hired a rig to drive him
to the station to catch a train for
Fargo. He missed the train, and
rather than wait for the next
one, he purchased mule and
rode here. He appeared just as
Mrs. Sundquist and her family
were making the funeral arrange
ments TO rthe unknown victim of
the Westhope explosion.
