DROPPED DEAD

Word comes from Goose Lake that Peter L. Petersen died of apoplexy at that place to-day. Early this morning he came to the creamery and just as he stepped inside the door he fell, slipping, as the men thought. They took him at once to the hotel, but found him dead when it was reached.
The deceased was one of the best known and wealthiest residents of that section, - being one of the old settlers. He was about 64 years of age. A wife and three children are left two boys, one of whom is married and one girl, also married.
