CHARLES W. TROG DIES
AFTER SHOOTING DEER
Death Believed to Have Been
Caused BY Excitement of
killing Deer

The body Of Charles w. frog, who
has operated the Becida mail route
and who has resided with his family
at Becida for a number of years, was
brought to Bemidji2e Sunday night,
from International Falls, on the night
passenger train. Death came to Mr..
frog while on hunting trip in West
ern Ontario.
On November Is, Ed Ashley, for
merly of Bemidji, Charles frog and
two other men from Grand Forks, N.
D., started into Western Ontario on
a moose hunting trip. The party had
gone about 65 miles northwest of
Fort Francis, Ontario, and on Novem-
Der 20 Mr.. frog, who had stopped at
an Indian camp, started out in the
morning, with an Indian boy as guide,
in search of game. They had gone
only about three-quarters Of a. mile
from camp when frog shot a very
large buck. Going over to the buck,
frog placed his gun across the body
of the dead animal and reached into
his pocket for his knife, when he sud-
denly sank to the ground and died.
Death was thought to have been
caused from the excitement of killing
the deer, as Mr.. frog had been af-
flicted with diabetes for some time
which had caused Il weakness of heart
action.
" Mr.. Ashley and the others of the
party were, at, the time, about 12
miles from the scene Of frogs death.
They were informed Immediately and
fastened to the Indian camp where
the body had been brought. The en-
tire party left Tuesday morning with
the body and the game, which had
been secured by the party. and did
not arrive at International Falls until
about midnight Saturday, November
~, making the trip by dog team and
pony.
Paul Focault, who had gone to In
ternational Falls to meet the body,
together with Mr., Ashley, accom-
panied it to Bemidji. Definite flu
neral arrangements have not been an
nounced at present, but it is expect
ed that it will be held Wednesday at
Becida.
Mr.. frog is survived by his wife
and five children, Clarence, Blanche,
Gladys, Charles and Arthur. He was
46 years of age.

EARLY NORSEMEN
VISIT AMERICA

H. r. Holland Of Ephriam, Door cOun-
ty, Wisconsin, who is on lecturlng
tour Of a month or more through Hi
nois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, ad-
dressed the faculty and pupils Of the
BarabOo High school this morning on
the KensingtOn rune stone. He spoke
before the Sank County Historical
society some months ago on the same
subject but since that time has come
into possession Of some valuable ad-
ditional evidence,
In 1898 a farmer about $50 miles
west of Minneapolis discovered
stone under a tree, two sides of the
rock being covered with strange char
acters, runes The stone was used for
some time as a step and later public
attention was called to by Mr.. Holland.
By some it is pronounced a fake and
by some genuine. In fact there is a
great controversy over the matter. If
genuine, how did the stone get into
Minnesota?
Early Explorers
1t has been found that NOrsemen
colonized Greenland as early as 985.
Later they cOasted along the eastern
shores of America, their main object
to obtain timber.
BY those who believe in the stone
1t is thought a band of NOrsemen
went in search of missing country
men and entered Hudson bay. They
sailed south, winter came on, and they
pushed up the rivers into the country
now a part of Minnesota. They were
evidently on their way east when a
massacre took place, this being men
toned on the stone. The date given
is 1862, before Christopher Columbus
was born.
New Relics Unearthed
During the past few months Mr. HO-
land has come into possession Of six
relics from the region where the~stone
was found:
l. Sword of the 14th century.
2. Broadaxe unique in shape, also of
the same period.
8. Hand axe, peculiar to Norway.
A. Steel for starting fire, also pc
culiar to period
S. Hook used by warriors in ripping
armor from an opponent
g. Ornament of brass with measure,
the ell, on it.
All are of the 14th century, all from
the region of the stone. part found be-
meath the soil evidently there before
settlers came,) and all unusual to
America.
Mr.. Holland hopes to go to Europe
soon to complete his investigation.
