DIED AT CAMP DODGE
JOHN POETSCH SUCCUMBED TX
PNEUMONIA-FI TRIBUTE
PAID TO DECEASED

Appreciation of the fact that he had
died while in the service of his coun-
try, was admirably shown Sunday after:
noon in the large attendance at the fun.
eral obsequies Of John Poetsch, who
passed away Wednesday of last week at
Camp Dodge from pneumonia, which
ailment was preceded by an operation
on the nose.
The large funeral cortege which in
Guided representatives of the G. "A. r.
and Red Cross, proceeded from the
home in this city to Belle Prairie, where
services were held at the Church of the
Holy Family, the capacity of the church
not being able to seat all who wished
to enter. The services were conducted
by Rev. Father LaMothe of Little Falls,
and his sermon was interspersed with
strong words Of loyalty and beautiful
tribute to the young man, who was pre-
pairing and was ready to fight for his
country's cause. Flags on the public
buildings were at half mast in honor of
the decease.
To the family the young mans de-
mise is doubly painful, as on the day
of his death, the father, who but
a few days previous had returned from
visit to his son, was laid away, he
having also succumbed to pneumonia.
John Poetsch, who was 26 years Of
age and born in Austria, left last Feb
ruary, being one Of contingent of 81
men leaving FOR Camp Dodge, his home
at the time being at Belle Prairie. The

STOLE TEAM HORSES

Centre, and would return Saturday.
At the latter place he sold the team
and left for other fields, no trace OF him
having as yet been found.
From his conversation with others at
the county Jail it is thought that vii,

by some that the rugs which he stole
were to be used in blowing some safe
as the story that he wanted them to
sleep on is rather fimsy.
