WEARY OF LIFE JOURNEY
PETER HANSON FOUND DEAD
DURING NOON HOUR
Mystery Surrounds An Act
Which Brought His Earthly
Career to Close

Swinging off from small chopping
block with clsthesline tied about
his neck and fastened to one of the
rafters in the woodhouse, Peter Han
sen committed suicide sometime be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock this
morning. The rash and uneXplain-
able act was discovered few mo-
ments later by the son, Carl Hansen,
aged eleven years, who stepped into
the woodhouse and discovered his
fathers body, still warm. The suicide
occurred at the family home, Ais LIE
Sueur street.
William Polzin, walking past the
home just after the little boy had
discovered the body. was attracted
by the boys cries of ooh, papa, papa"
Mr.. Polzin. as soon as he discovered
the lifeless body hanging in the shed,
notified other neighbors who in turn
informed the police department and
Coroner G. A. Dahl When Mr.. Dahl
arrived Hansen was quite dead and
as it was a clear case Of suicide it
was decided that it would be un-
necessary to hold a coroneris inquest.
When found, Hansen's knees were
ing so long that it allowed his legs
to touch the ground.
No Reason For Suicide.
AS far as can be learned there was
absolutely no reason for Hansen's
rash act Last Saturday he was at
his work as a cabinet maker at the
H. knott Manufacturing company,
where he has been employed for sew
eral years ago, however, he lost two
health and the best of spirits and Mr..
knott expressed the greatest surprise
when he learned of the suicide today.
Mr.. Hansen's children also stated
that they knew of no reason for their
fathers act and that he seemed
cheerful this morning, although he
did not go to his work as usual.
Peter Hansen was middle aged
man, being fifty two years of age. He
is survived by his wife, by one son
Carl and by two daughters, one of
whom is married. For the past two
weeks Mrs. Hansen has been at the
home of her sister in Fargo North
Dakota, attending members of the
family there who were ill. She was
notified Immediately after her hus
bands body was discovered.
Hansen was known as a steady and
skilled workman. He owned the
home where the family lived and was
in comfortable circumstances. Sew
eral weeks ago, however, he lost two
fingers in an accident at his work
and since that time it is said that he
worried considerably over this fact.
This concern may have had some
thing to do with his committing
suicide.
The body was removed to the And
rist undertaking rooms this after
noon, but no funeral arrangements
have been made yet.

1t Was Sent Here BY Clifford w.
Hedberq From France.

Mr. ard Mrs. A. c. Hedberg OF 1Ol4
South Front street, this morning re-
ceived a unique collection of souv-
enirs from their son, Clifford w. He'd
berg, who is with the American Ex-
peditionary Forces in France, and
has been employed in an aeroplane
factory in France.
One of the relics is the point of an
aeroplane wing, made of several diff
ferent kinds of wood inlaid together.
This was a part of an American
aeroplane injured in battle which
was sent Nto the factory for repair,
and as it was quite good sized piece
and could not be used again the young
man artiscally carved it and finished
it for a photograph holder, embellish-
ing it with the American eagle and
the letters "a. E. F." at the top, and
the word France" at the base.
The group of souvenirs included a
brass headed baton, such as is used
by a band leader, and which was
made of small pieces of French wood,
cleverly fashioned together, and box
of novel shape and beautiful wood,
which may be used as a tobacco box.
The souvenirs are handsome col
lection, and will no doubt increase in
historical value with the years.

CHESTER A. H0DS0N HAD

started to back toward the street. The
officers directed their weapons at
him, and when ten feet away from
him they say Magma drew a revol-
yer and sent a bullet pointblank at
HodSon.
His Clothing Ripped.
The shot ripped the clothing over
his chest. Magma pulled the trig-

STORY OF T. c. Austin
WAS ANXIOUS TO GO ACROSS
THE WATER TO FIGHT
Young Man of Sterling Worth;
His Death Followed An
Operation

Corporal Earl G. Austin. thirty
years old, who at Camp Cody, N. NJ,
last summer offered to be reduced in
rank if he might join the privates of
the company in going to the front, is
dead at Camp Merritt, N. j., accord
ing to information received by The
Independent yesterday. His eagerness
to get into the fray overseas won for
him permission to make the trip with
his comrades but he retained the
rank Of corporal, says The Winona
Independent.
Goes With c Company.
Corporal Austin left Winona with
C company of the old Second Mime
sofa for Camp Cody in September,
1917. He joined the company shortly
before their departure. He became
the company clerk and carried the
rank of corporal.
Before the government placed a
ban upon correspondents within the
army, Corporal Austin served for
several months as the correspondent
to The Independent from Camp Cody
and interesting letters and messages
from the southern cantonment were
printed under his name. These were
eagerly read by large number OF
persons in Winona and this section.
Serves AS the Clerk.
In the south Corporal Austin con-
tinued to serve as company clerk for
C company of the 136th infantry.
According to the story brought
back here by members of the COM
mand of Captain J. d. Burke, Cor
poral Austin, when the announcement
went out that all Of the privates were
about to be sent overseas but that
the officers and non commissioned
officers would be retained in camp,
made a request that he be reduced to
private that he might go to France
with other members of the unit! He
was finally permitted to go and left
for an eastern point and later went
overseas.
Returns With Casual Company.
He served in France until about a
month ago, most Of his time there
being spent in a clerical capacity.
He was in a hospital there, it is un-
derstood, and came back to the States
with a casual company.
One letter received here from a
former Winonan few days ago gave
information that he had seen Corporal
Austin at Camp Merritt and that he
appeared in excellent health. A pos
tai received few weeks ago was
written by Austin in France on the
eve of his departure for this country
He expressed great satisfaction at
the prospect of his return but said
that he would probably be compelled
TO receive several months treatment
in hospital in this country after his
return.
Follows an Operation.
The message announcing his death,
which occurred on Thursday in the
eastern cantonment hospital. declar-
ed that it followed an operation. The
nature Of the operation was not dis
closed.
Corporal Austin was born in Owa-
tonna in 1889. His father was G. s.
Austin, who now resides in Oregon.
The family formerly were Winona
residents. Earl Austin attended the
local schools and took employment
here. He worked first for the firm
of Latsch & Son and before his entry
into the service was employed by
Captain J. D. Burke in the Smoke
shop on Main street There he be-
came widely known.
