GREAT WHITE
 PLAGUE CLAIMS
 LOU FREESTONE
WELL KNOWN FAlRBANk SAN sUcCUMBS TO RAVAGEs OF
 TUBERCULOSIS

l.. A. FreeStone, known better to his many friends in Fairbanks as Lou" or "Louie," died yesterday afternoon at St. Joseph's hospital, a victim of the Great White Plague. He had just been taken to the hos pital by Dr. M. F. Hall, who had been called to attend him, and died just as the hospital attendants were putting him into bed.
 Freestone had been ill for the past eighteen months. Prior to that time he had suffered periodical at tacks of asthma, with which he was also afflicted, and he never had com contracted year ago last spring, when he was in the hospital for several weeks.
 On Thursday Freestone was down town for the last time. He was urged then by number of his friends to go to the hospital but he reused to uO so, saying lldl ut would rather be in his cabin. On Friday he was too weak to come down town, according to his friends, but even then refused to allow them to take him to the hospital or to bring doctor to him. Yesterday, however, after particularly bad fit of coughing, he consented to see Dr. Hall, who persuaded him to go to the hospital.
 Freestone had been in the Fair banks district for number of years. He was an expert mill man and amalgamator, and as such, worked in all of the early quartz mills of the district. In fact, he assisted at the installation of a number of the mills and managed them after ward. Most of the time since he first became sick, however, he has followed other pursuits, having late ly been associated with the manage ment of the Railroad Cigar Store.
