Nels Sorensen, a former Clinton shoemaker, died suddenly Wednesday at Shannon, Iowa, where his son is in the drug business.

Mr. Sorensen was working in the drug store when he was seized by an attack of heart failure, which proved fatal. He was about 50 years of age, and for several years conducted a shoe repairing shop on Second street in this city. The remains will reach the city today, for interment here.
