FROZEN TO DEATH.
Boy succumbs to the Cold in Glenwood, last Friday.
The ten-year-old son of Tosten Johnson, of Glenwood Township, was frozen to death last Friday. In company with several lads he had been skating. After the others had gone home in some manner the boy broke through the ice and got into water up to his neck. He succeeded in getting to land but was so chilled, it is supposed, that he was only able to crawl out on the bank, and there his dead body was found, frozen.
