Had Been at Summer Home;
He SuCcumbed After Eat
ing Hearty Meal

D. Frederick A. Anderegg, one Of
the most prominent and well known
men of Faribault died suddenly Sun
day afternoon at about 430 at his
hunting lodge at French Lake.
He was in apparently good health
at tne time of his death and had beer
at the camp mos of the day. He anC
Harold Robilliard went out to tht
cottage or. the shores of the lake Sun
day morning with their guns will
the intention of spending the day Out
there and probably to down few
stragglers," as was expressed by the
doctor before leaving.
He ate hearty dinner, after
spending the morning in the air and
while joking about it later said that
he ate enough for two men. Imme
diately after dinner they went out to
cut up soEie willow wood that was
later to be made into duck decoys.
Talked CT Boyhood days.
While cutting wood with his com
panion he talked of his boyhood days
There was much timber ct their hOlre
he said, and he told of how a good
woodman never rested until his work
was done. Shortly afterward he com
planned that he was a little tired. He
then put his saw down and was about
to rest when he fell to the ground.
Mr.. Robilliard tried to rouse him
and later went for help. He was not
gone a minute ard when he return
ed to him he breathed his last.
Dr. Smith, the Rice County coron-
er, was called out al out five o'clock
and after examination he stated that
his death might have been caused by
over eXertion ari the bursting of a
blood vessel in the head. The extreme
exercise of saving wood after the
large meal and being unused to such
work probably caused the over ex-
ertion.
