Lawrence Masters Died.

Lawrence Masters died at the county home yesterday, at the age of about 35 years. He leaves a wife and one small child.

This is the young man who was discovered in a destitute condition at the fair ground during the county fair this fall. He had secured a concession at the grund, but was taken sick and was unable to work. Investigation revealed the fact that he andhis wife were without funds and they were taken to the county home. Masters claims Winnebago, Minn., as his home and the supervisors of Adams county notified the authorities at Winnebago of conditions, and that the Minnesota county would be expected to bear the expense of caring for the family. Masters grew steadily worse and died yeasterdya. His malady was tuberculosis.
