penses, losses, taxes, etc. Gross in
come includes practically all income

year; In the case of the wage earn
er, salaries, wages bonuses and com

Fred Piquette Dies Of Suffcati0n IN
Burning Shack on
Christmas Eve

Moonshine very evidently played its
part :inr the death Of Fred Piquette,
aged SO, at Argyle on Christmas eve
when he was suffocated and badly
burned in a fire which destroyed the
one room shack of Joe Mondor. When
the body was discovered after the fire
had been put out by the Argyle fire
department Sheriff Hanson was noti-
fed and Joe Mondor, owner Of the
shack who was under the influence
of liquor, was brought to Warren and
held until the cOrOner's investigation
was made. Evidence that a still had
been operated in the place was found,
Az the inquest held Tuesday the
verdict of the coroner's jury was that
Piquette met his death by suffocation
in the fire, the origin of which was
unknown. Mondor was released as
the result of the absence Of evidence
to show cause for holding him further.
The body Of Piquette was identified
by his son as it was so badly burned
that others could not recognize it.
According to PiQuette's son his
father had been in the habit Of go
ing to the shack Of Mcndor, who is a
bachelor, playing cards. Mondor main
tanned that he did not know the fire
had started when he was taken into
custody, although his head and eye.
brows were singed.
