BASE BALL CAUSES DEATH

Former La Porte City Man Dies at Willow Lake, S. D.

Fred Kuhn, who resides southwest of La Porte City in Bruce Township, received a telegram from Willow Lake, S. D., last Sunday evening conveying the news of the death of his son Frank Kuhn, which occurred that day.

One of his brothers, Herman Kuhn, left for Willow Lake Sunday evening, and will arrive in La Porte this Thursday evening with the remains.

The telegram announcing the young man's death did not state the cause of his demise, but a letter to Clarence Kline stated that wile playing ball one week ago last Sunday he was struck on the head with the ball and severely injured. He became rapidly worse and despite all that could be done for him, passed away.

The deceased was 29 years of age and had lived in this section most of his life. He was married about seven years ago and is survived by a wife and one child besides his aged parents and five brothers.

Funeral services will be held from the German Evangelical Church Friday forenoon at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Grobe. Interment will be at West View Cemetery.
