FROM COLD WAVE
The cold wave that swept into Chi
cago last evening has already cost
the life of one man from exposure.
Suffering among the poor in the con-
gested districts is reported from the
county agents Office. Although a
promise of warmer weather is held
out for tomorrow, the prediction is
made that the thermometer will
again dip to IA tonight.
The victim of the cold is believed
to be ]. A. Davidson, about so years
old, 1892 Glenwood av. The body
was found in a prairie opposite 6O36
Broadway. A card bearing that name
was found in the pockets. The body
was removed to Westberg's under
taking rooms, 5216 N. Clark. The
remains were frozen.
The county agent said this winter
would cause great hardship among
the poor The high cost of foodstuffs
and coal makes the problem all the
harder. A plea viii be made to the
county board for a greater appropri-
alton for relief measures.
