The man expired shortly after be-
ing taken out of an automobile and
laid on some or the cushions along

? Mr.. Moore had gone out to Madl.
son Lake in an automobile with A.
Z. Near. proprietor Of the CONNER
cial house. who owned the machine,
and C. r. Wilson and John c. Page
Of the Franklin restaurant.
On their way home he was taken
with sudden fainting spell The

taken out. Boys. keep me moving" /"
were his last words. -
Sought Assistanee at Farm House.
Assistance was sought in a neigh.
boring farm house, where a dance
was taking place. Water was OBJ
tanned without delay. The young
men who had been attending the
dance forsook Il and gathered around
the PROSTATE man.
Mr. Near took three of the young
men in his automobile and sped to
Madison Lake In search OF physi-
clan. He did not manage TO get eth.
er OF them. but from Madison Lake,
he rung up DIR. j. s. Holbrook. The
latter hurried I'm another automobile
TO the spot where the stricken man
lay. The latter died five minutes
after the physician had arrived.
Coroner Was Notified.
Word was at once sent to Coroner
Liedloff and the body was removed
in Mr.. Near's automobile TO Lamm
q Landkamer's undertaking rooms.
DR.. Lledloff was inclined to think
today That death was caused by a
cerebral hemmorhage. He decided to
hold q post mortem examination,
with the assistance OF DR.. G. C..
Pratt and DR.. A. K. Sohmer.
Mr.. Moore has. been tending bar
for some years at the saloon at 2O7
South Front street. Last spring he
made arrangements to buy out the
former proprietor, Frank Lorentz,
and took out license In his own
name. dated from June IL. Mr..
Lorentz, II win be remembered, was
unable to get renewal OF his own
license, having gotten into trouble
with the law forbidding the sale OF
liquor to habitual drunkards
Ordered Saloon Closed.
Mayor Meyer this morning ordered
the saloon to be closed altogether
He had been advised by City Attor-
ney Sehaub that the saloon, could mot
operate under. a dead mans license.
Mr.. Schaub said he. would look UP
the question whether the city was
bound to refund to the heirs of the
deceased any portion Of the money
he paid for his license.
Mr.. Moore was thirty-five years old
and unmarried. He was a nephew
OF z. j. Moore, former resident OF
Mankato, now Of Chicago. 4. J..
Moore, II will be remembered, used
to run the hardware store Of Moore
& Tobin on South Front street. The
deceased also is survived by one sis
ter, Mrs. Tobin OF Chicago, and a
brother, Mack Moore. OF Athens,
Ohio.
Joined Auto Party Last Evening.
II. Bert Moore joined the automo.
bile party last evening about seven
o'clock. He had been eating his sup
per at the Franklin restaurant. when
Mr.. Wilson invited him to 90 out to
Madison Lake with the other three
men. He accepted the Invitation and
seemed to act in his natural, agree
able way. but, when the other men
proposed swim IN the lake, he de-
clined TO go in. saying that he had
been 'doctoring. and had taken con-
siderable, medicine. He did not think
he had better go into the water. So
he stayed out and watched the 9TH
ers swim.
During the evening the whole party
visited at the cottage OF Frank Lor.
entz in the village Of Madison Lake.
Mr. Moore has been known to have
such spells before, but had not had
an attack for two years.
The post-mortem development that
death was caused by hemorrhage OF
the brain. Mr.. Moore had been suf-
fering from hardening OF the ar
teries. though this Is quite unusual
In one so young.
